It was dark inside the ship. The lights must have gone out a few
years ago. The condensation dripped from the pipes running along the walls.
The four people entered because they had to. It was dark, and they were all
jumpy. Rick had loaded his assault rifle and kept it ready.
" Rick what are you doing?" asked Parker
"The hell does it look like I'm doing, getting ready, just in case" came the reply.
"Rick, there is nothing on board, your heart rate has jumped and your likely going to hurt someone, just put that thing away"
"Shut up you piece of crap"
"Very well, you will be the one held responsible not I" Parker finally gave up.
"Look if you two are done I would like to formulate a plan. Parker you and Rick go to the Bridge and try to tap the auxiliary power. Mandy and I will try to find the 'crew' " Commanded Chen
"Alright sounds good Chen, we'll see what we can do" Said Rick as he and the android went off alone.
" Chen, the crew was near the kitchen lets get this over with" Said Mandy as they went the other direction.
Rick and Parker entered the control room, small computer monitors flickered faintly all over the room. Parker sat down in front of the main computer and started typing at an incredible rate.
" Hey Chen this is Parker. You read me Chen?"
"Ya this is Chen" came the reply. They all wore headsets with mics and speakers so they could communicate.
" Chen you said the computers failed. I am sitting at the main console it's working just fine."
"That doesn't make any sense Parker, I'll have to look at it myself before we leave" Replied Chen. "Hey could you run a life form scan I want to see if there are any virus's on board. We are almost to the kitchen. I know it sounds paranoid, but I don't want to die from some alien virus."
"No problem hold on one second."
"And while your at it, get the lights"
The lights slowly flashed on inside the kitchen. All around was the smell of blood. The blood covered the floor and the walls. Chen threw up all over the floor. The skeletons of 8 people lay on the cold red stained floor.
"Mr. Chen please leave if you cant handle the smell" said Mandy.
"Ah, that's disgusting. No I'm ok now."
Mandy took out her scanning equipment and began to take readings of the bodies. Chen was waiting patiently when he heard Parker talking over their intercoms.
"Hey T come in" said Parker "T do you copy"
"Ya this is T, what's going on in there?"
"You didn't board the Queen Elizabeth did you?"
"Hell no, there is no way I am going on that ship man, I'm just the pilot"
Chen interrupted "What's going on Parker?"
"It must be a mistake, its reading 5 life forms on board"
"My god." said Chen
All at once their hearts began to race. There was something else on beard with them. It hit Mandy first.
"O my god there is something else, and it murdered these people" said Mandy
"How do you know this?" said Parker
"There are traces of some kind of foreign substance on the corpses. I think its saliva.."
"Aaah no. Hell no.. I am leaving right now" said T
"No your not, we are coming right now. Abort the mission. Everyone back to our ship now!" came the commands from Chen
"Chen I need to you listen, this is Parker I made a private channel only you can hear me. Just listen, the life form is already onboard our ship with T. If we tell him then he will take off and leave us to die. If we don't tell him not only could he die but we would risk getting injured by trying to get the thing off our ship so we can leave. The call is yours."
"Hey T" said Chen " I'm going to need you to turn around and take a look around the ship"
"Hey man. what the hell am I looking for?"
"We need you to find our . we need you to look for a tool. Its large and it looks like a torch, you'll know when you see it" Said Chen
"Ok, if it helps us get the hell out of here, you guys are acting strange."
T began to look around the much smaller high speed ship. He wasn't finding the tool but he did hear a noise in the hall.
"Hello? Chen is that you?" asked T
He looked really hard and saw something crawling low on the ground right at him. He stared in disbelief. It had a long head that was shiny and black. Out of its back were four large cylinder shaped things. It had six fingers on each hand. It had a long tail that ended in a point. Its entire body was shiny black and hard to see in the dim lighting. It crawled within five feet of him and stopped staring.
"T did you find it yet?" asked Chen who had joined Rick and Parker along with Mandy in the cockpit of the Queen Elizabeth.
"Hell.. I found something" said T
Intrigued Parker asked "What is it? Describe it"
"Well I can't see it well, its. its starting to stand up. Holy shit I am scared, will this thing hurt me?"
Chen looked at Parker they both thought the same thing. Yes it's going to kill you.
"No T, its just checking you out why don't you try to get onboard the Queen Elizabeth" said Chen
They had to lure the thing out so they could escape.
"Hell no, I ain't moving anywhere. Damn this thing is like 7 feet tall.. its getting closer, come on guys come help me out here.."
The way it looked, the way it stared coldly. T knew what it was going to do, he wasn't stupid. He turned to run away. The thing whipped out its tail and caught him on the ankle. He fell flat on his face. T turned over just in time to feel the weight of the thing land on his chest. It must have weighed two hundred pounds, maybe more. Lightning fast the things claws began to rip at his chest. He felt its icy finger dig deep into his chest ripping off his skin. He let out a blood-curdling scream just before his throat was ripped out. Then the thing just stopped. T laid there his chest torn open his ribs lying all over the floor. The pain was beginning to leave as his body went numb. His organs were exposed to the air. The beast looked down at him pleased. He could have sworn that it smiled.
"Know how the hell are we going to get out of here!" yelled Mandy as she collapsed in a chair and started to weep.
"That's a good freaking question" replied Parker
