The Martians

"Whiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

What the hell was that?

"Swooshhhhhh."

What on Earth, uh..i mean Mars, could that be? I mean, is it not enough that I am on a planet with limited resources? Resources that I need to survive. Resources that I need if I am somehow able to contact people on Earth. Is it not enough that I am stuck on a planet this dry with such little resources BY MYSELF? Okay. Don't panic. I'll just hide behind this rock. Ah, this looks like that rock that was discovered on here a while back on the first Viking mission. What was it called? Big something, I think. Forget it, I should probably check out where that noise came from first. I'll just quickly look over the rock and then go back under to stay hidden.

"Ah!"

I don't believe it. A human voice. Thank the heavens! Thank you Lor-wait what if she tries to kill me? What if this turns into some Hunger Games type shit. That would not be good.

"Anybody out there?"

Hm, should I answer? Maybe she can help me fix the radio or plant.

"Hello?"

She's going to invade the Hab, or worse, kill me in my sleep. And then she's going to eat me.

"Someone please help!"

Ugh, why am I so soft? I should be doing whatever it takes to survive, plus, I'm not sure I can trust this person. Alright fine. Even if I am taking a risk, at least I know I am doing the right thing.

"Help!"

"I'm right here," I said, immediately regretting my decision.

"Where?"

I stand up and look at her. She has long black hair, beautiful brown eyes, and a face that's hard to turn away from.

"Hi, my name is Ellen Ripley. I was originally sent out on a mission to find alien life forms on other planets. Unfortunately, my other crew members and I found out that there were alien life forms on another planet, but they are very dangerous."

That explains the flamethrower in her hand.

"My entire crew was killed by one of these creatures. We went to a planet that contained hundreds of alien eggs. A creature hatched from one of the eggs and latched onto one of the crew members, which in turn brought the alien onto the ship when the crew member got on the ship. Eventually, it hid on our ship and was able to wipe us out one by one, except me."

"Wow. So how'd you end up here?"

"Well, I heard that a group of people traveled to Mars and so I came here to get some help."

"Help with what?"

"The alien reproduced."

"What?"

"The aliens are on their way here. I expected more people but I guess it's just you and me."

Excuse me?
