Chapter 2- The Raptors

Captain's Log, Day 2, The Enterprise has crashed on a unknown planet with no known habitation, Commander Riker and I are nearing the Engineering section of the ship, snapped away from the saucer section.

"Captain, I found a way in here," Riker said, pointing to a large gash in the back of the ship. We both entered it and climbed into main engineering, it was dark and all five crew personnel were dead, smashed in on computer panels or fallen to their deaths. Riker looked around the warp core. "Captain, I think we can salvage it," he said scanning it with a tricorder he found scattered on the ground. "It is regrettable Geordie was killed," I said, sorting through the rubble. Riker walked to a storage box and took out two searchlights and threw one to me. He ran into the hallways and his light slowly faded away. I went the opposite direction, passing several injured crewman, I met up with young Wesley Crusher. "Captain Picard, what happened?" he asked me, walking with me. "I'm not sure yet, I might need your help to fix Commander Data.La Forge has been killed." He looked at me rather shocked, then nodded in utter grief. We came to a dead end. "This ship was meant to be run on power, it's rather difficult to navigate it without," I observed. I turned back to main engineering, Wesley looked at the warp core and noted he could fix it, but he needed Data's help. I tapped my comm. Badge, it was still working, and I said, "Riker, I heading back to the saucer section, aide the survivors and meet back at 0800 hours." I ordered him. "Yes sir, Riker out." He said.

Wesley and I hiked back to the saucer section, hearing the same growling and chirping, except the growling was much louder, accompanied by rustling in the bushes. The saucer section came close into view when the growling was intense. Wesley groaned suddenly and I heard the crunching of bones, I turned to see him bitten in half by a lizard like creature. He ripped the poor boy apart, blood flying in the air, he seemed to be ignoring me, but 3 more emerged from the woods, I ran towards the ship, being chased, it was probably useless, if my guess is right they are much faster than a human. One pounced on me and I clenched my eyes and teeth, when suddenly the raptor squealed and I was covered in its blood, I looked up to see Worf, with his klingon sword. "You detestable creatures, you will pay for the death of the boy!" he said tackling a creature and knocking it out, and rolling over to slice the others' head. I arose, still quite shocked, he helped me up and we both ran to the ship. We stepped inside, and somehow power was working. "Mr. Worf, why is the power on?" he looked at me and said, "I do not know sir." I nodded as we struggled to walk on the ceiling

"Sir, you are injured," Worf said, observing me clutching my arm. I nodded and continued to walk on. We stopped in front of transporter room one, and climbed in, Chief O' Brian was laying on the ground, in good condition. He looked up at us, "Captain, what's going on sir?" "We crashed," I explained, looking up at the transporter. Suddenly I heard that familiar sound of groaning, screaming, and bones crunching, I rushed to the storage area and removed 3 phasers and threw them to Worf and O'Brian. We cautiously walked through the halls of what was once the proud hall of the Enterprise, but now are ruins. We walked down faster, when suddenly a creature tackles O'Brain, I fire just in time to save him, but about 10 more are around us, what will become of us I wonder.
