Chapter 4:The Attack

We were just flying through space, like we have been doing for a long time now when all of the sudden the whole ship shook. "What was that I yelled?" "Possibly a meteor so something, we have seen a lot of them lately." Malcolm said with uncertainty. "No that was no meteor, it was to big." "I've got something on the radar." Sanders yelled. " It's big and it's coming towards us." I ran to the control deck as fast as I could and looked at the screen. " It's a ship." I yelled. "Captain is there any weapons or boosters on this ship." Yes we have both of them for emergency purposes." John said. "Well we have to choices, we either fight till we can get out of here or we hit the boosters and hope they outrun the ship." "Either that or we get captured, and I sure as hell know that if that's an alien cruiser that they're not to friendly, considering they fired on us." "Well since were not really equipped with powerful weapons, I'd say we get out of here now." Sanders said.

"Alright then that's what we do." "Wait" Malcolm yelled we will not get out of here if they see us leave, they will just come after us, and I bet they can travel faster than the speed of light." "Ok look I had this scenario planned out a long time ago." He said. Malcolm got on his speaker and said, " Sandra were going to have to deploy the rocket to get out of here." "The rocket," I said with confusion. "What rocket." " We created a rocket for just this kind of emergency." Malcolm said. "The rocket was designed by Sandra to temporarily knock out the electrical equipment in the ship it hits so we are no longer on any kind of radar, it will also send out a smoke screen which will keep us hidden from there own eyes. Then we can hit the boosters and get out of here and away from them." "I guess that could work, go ahead let do it," I said. "All right Sandra deploy the rocket and let's get the hell out of here," Malcolm yelled. From over the intercom we heard rocket deployed in 5…4…3…2…1. "Rocket launched. " she said. I looked out the front and saw the rocket streaming toward the ship real fast, and within a second it hit, surrounding the enemy ship in a weird smoke. With that we hit the boosters and headed for Andromeda. 5 months 20 days later
