Status Updates From The Scourge Between Stars

Okay, a severed hand has been found, they track the blood: "The smears stopped right under a vent. Two team members went to either side while the rest knelt and fixed their weapons on the opening. At Yanis’s countdown they pried off the vent’s grate and flung their weapons inside."
... Clearly, there is an alien on the ship, and this reads as if it crawled into the vent and closed the grate after itself? What.

How are the aliens traveling BACK towards them through space?? D:

damn, her dad is a psycho D:

The book was amazing. So much was told here. I actually cried in the end.
