Christel is sitting on board on a scout UFO with a few sectoids also on board to head to a location to knock out invaders attempting to destroy their world. The UFO leaves the base but in just a minute it's already landed where located to go to. The few aliens and Christel arms their weapons and gets out of the aircraft while the Commander watches on screen focused more than the other ships out on other missions. "This is your chance Christel Heinsch to show them you are the 1 to lead us to victory" The Commander says to itself while 2 other sectoids stands behind it watching on. "OK human you follow our lead. What we say goes. Got it?" 1 of the sectoids says to Christel in a serious commanding tone. "Y-Yes..." She replies back nervously with her father's Plasma Sniper Rifle ready to use she follows the sectoids' direction thinking about what is she going to be able to do to impress the Commander. She sees them running past objects that could be used for cover as they rush to an aircraft that was a bigger size than the UFO they just gotten out of. She looks at it wondering how are they going to be able to handle a UFO that size having a feeling they are outnumbered. "Maybe...W-We should take cover?..." She says nervously towards the sectoids. 1 of the sectoids sighs shaking it's head and goes to Christel. "Listen human your not hear to tell us what to do, your here to win the war so shut up!" It says irritated to hear her making a suggestion to the aliens. The Commander watches the action on the screen and shakes it's head disappointed. "Unbelievable, they should be listening to Christel Heinsch since she is so right here" It says with the 2 sectoids with it nodding in agreement to the Commander. Back on the field they see the crew are by the aircraft but the sectoids demands Christel to be alone outside the aircraft not helping them secure the craft. The Commander is shaking it's head disappointed even more by pushing her away from them to complete the mission by securing the craft. "Stay there human until we come back. Everyone let's go now" 1 of the sectoid says as the entire crew minus Christel charges inside the aircraft leaving Christel alone behind a large dark orange boulder with thought running through her mind about maybe she is really unfitting to help them with the war. The Commander could sense her feelings and feels sorry for her since it didn't want this to happen.
Christel looks at the enemy aircraft wondering if any of the aliens are OK since it has now been a while since they been inside for some time now. She slowly makes her way to the aircraft using the outside wall as a spot of cover as she leans her head towards the entrance to see if there was anybody moving inside the aircraft. There seems to be no movement, not even a sound but she feels like she should stay outside incase she will be in danger by the enemies, whatever they are. Soon she sees inside the aircraft a sectoid running towards the entrance without a weapon. Christel then hears something firing a weapon of some sort and the sectoid collapses onto the ground making Christel quickly realise it had been shot and quickly hides by the outside of the ship with the Plasma Sniper Rifle pointing ahead of her being ready for an alien to show up in front of her. She slowly creeps back to the entrance and looks inside and sees an alien that looks like a human wearing business clothes holding a small green and grey pistol looking away from Christel. The Sectoid looking at 1 of the giant monitors watches on. "Search for a ship nearby Christel Heinsch location. Urgently!" The Commander says as the 2 sectoids quickly grabs a device. "Searching for nearby ship now Commander" 1 of the Sectoids says showing a large screen next to the next screen showing Christel on the ground. The screen shows to the Commander a radar screen for nearby aircraft from the UFO Christel was inside before the started. "That terror ship there. Get me contact to that ship right now!" The Commander says loudly to the Sectoids that uses the device to get in contact with the ship.
Christel feeling nervous thinking that all the Sectoids are dead and it's just her remaining alone. She looks down at the Plasma Sniper Rifle then holds it out sucking up courage to try take out the human like alien. She steps back away from the craft aiming the open entrance to the ship where that alien was while the human alien has it's back turned indicating to Christel it's not realised her presence. She pulls the trigger of her weapon and fires her shot the alien. It hits directly on the mid section of the alien. The human like alien falls face down onto the floor and seems to have exploded out a green and purple cloud. Thinking more aliens would notice she hides behind the same orange boulder she originally hid while the other crew went without her which she think they are all now dead including the Sectoid she saw trying to run out the enemies craft. She keeps herself hidden waiting for any sounds or any movement but it seems everything has gone quiet. Christel pokes her head out of the boulder but sees nothing making her wonder. Was that human like alien the only alien inside the ship or is there other aliens waiting for her to enter the aircraft? Thinking if there were more it would be a bad idea to go inside since she is alone and would have no idea how many of them are still inside. She stays by the boulder thinking she should just wait for any more of the aliens to exit the craft 1st .
Time passes by and Christel then hears a huge noise nearby. She hears it's coming from behind her, she turns around and sees a UFO. A much larger UFO than the enemy UFO and the 1 she was in. The aircraft starts to land nearby but then she suddenly gets covered in a green and purple cloud out of nowhere, she covers her eyes feeling her entire body stunning a lot. She collapses to the ground keeping her eyes covered flailing her legs as the painful feeling is quickly worsening by each second. She then feels something grabbing the back of her psi armour dragging her on the ground as she is still flailing her legs from the painful feeling of her body. She can hear voices of aliens around her since she is keeping her eyes tightly closed. "Get the human out of here! Get her on board! Secure the craft now!" Were the voices she could hear repeatedly as she is being dragged on the ground with the Commander watching on what is happening on screen. The Commander turn to the Sectoids with it realizing a major flaw in this rescue attempt. "Get the medbay ready now! There aren't any medics there to help Christel Heinsch!" It says as the 2 Sectoids uses the device to tell the crew in the medbay to be ready. "Medbay. This is an emergency, human has been attacked by enemy" The Sectoids says as meanwhile the Commander starts communicating to the crew that are there to rescue Christel. "Return Christel Heinsch to medbay immediately. Someone drive the scout craft, enemy craft is getting away now" It says as the Commander really wanted Christel back alive and the enemies to pay for hurting her. The Commander watches on the screen Christel dragged aboard the ship and 2 aliens boarding the small scout and flies it to chase down the fleeing aircraft.
Christel keeps flailing her legs feeling something pinning her mid section as she is starting to yell in pain. "Hang on human you'll be OK" She could hear an alien saying to her. "Stun the human. Get a stun bomb deployed now" Another alien says which sounds to her worrying that they will knock her out with a type of bomb that could blow her up. She feels whatever pinning her down get off her and then hears something drop onto the floor close to her. She hears an electrical sound before going unconscious. The Commander watches on the screen of what the crew are doing on the craft. "OK Commander the human is stunned. What you wanting us to do now?" It hears 1 of the crew say out to it. "Just make sure the human is alive when she gets back here. You know it is our salvation for this war" The Commander says as it keeps it's eyes on Christel unconscious and in a life threatening situation. "Come on Christel Heinsch you got to make it" It says then walks out the control room as the UFO is now coming into land back into the hanger.
The Commander walks to the UFO and sees the crew getting out of the craft with an alien holding onto Christel. "Come on she needs to go to the medbay urgently!" The Commander says to the alien as the alien and the Commander immediately leaves the hanger and heads into the medbay where there were alien medics already set up for Christel's emergency treatment. "Remember it's our salvation so don't let Christel Heinsch die at all cost" The Commander says then walks out the room as the aliens starts the treatment for Christel. The Commander goes back into the control room where the 2 Sectoids are and the crew that was involved in the rescue minus the 2 aliens that boarded the smaller UFO as they haven't returned from chasing the enemy craft. "OK well I like to thank you crew for helping Christel Heinsch come back alive and for your efforts I will earn yous all promotions for your efforts" The Commander says as it gives the promotions to each alien that was in the mission but as the Commander finishes promoting each 1 of them it gets a communication message coming from the scout the 2 aliens took off from. "Commander we have taken down the enemy ship requesting raid" The alien says to the Commander. "Negative return to base now" The Commander orders the aliens knowing just the 2 of them wouldn't be able to take out all the crew onboard since it's still unknown how many of them there are and the enemies had already claimed a lot of lives already and The Commander doesn't want to risk any more aliens to fight them. "OK soldiers you may leave now" The Commander says and the crew leaves the room then uses the device to communicate to the alien medics. "How is Christel Heinsch doing? What harm has happened to it?" It asks hoping not much has happened to her. "It seems no physical damage was done to her but the human was poisoned so we can just hope we can heal it" The medic alien says replying to The Commander. "You've got to treat Christel Heinsch from the poison at all cost. It's our salvation for the war, remember that" The Commander says wanting to remind them she is important to be on their side of the war. "We will do our very best to heal the human even though we never done this before" The medic says then they stop the communication.
Time passes by when Christel starts groaning a little opening her eyes seeing a few aliens around the room she is in. She could see 2 of then are Sectoids but she sees other kinds of aliens are around. An alien approaches her, the alien is dark purple and grey coloured with what looks like 2 antennas on it's back and it is very tall. "Looks like you survived human" It says to Christel with a small grin on it's face. "Y...Yeah I...I had..." She replies back a little quietly and nervously as she tries to sit up but her body feels numb and painful making it hard for her to sit up. The purple grey alien gently pushes her back down again. "You need rest human, you were badly hurt from that poison" It says to her as the alien seems to sit next down next to a bed she was laying in. She turns her head around to it a little as she moves her hand under a white duvet that looks like it came form Earth as she tries to search her pocket of her father book thinking he wrote something about the alien that attacked her and the alien that's nearby her. She manages to move the hand inside her trouser pocket and manages to feel the book but she can't feel her fingers to get a grip onto the book so she tries to move it out by putting her hand onto the book and moves it to try slide it out of her pocket. By not being able to feel her fingers to grip the book she manages with difficulty slide the book out of her pocket and now tries to move it onto her chest so she could try to read it but she loses the book and hears it fall onto the ground but she can't see where it's landed. The purple grey alien sees the book and goes down taking it. It looks at it curiously then looks at Christel. "What's this we have here human?" It asks as it opens the book making Christel gulp a little as she has no idea what will the alien is going to say or react as the alien looks through the pages of her father's burnt book. "I don't know what any of this says but I see it's about us" The alien says which surprises Christel thinking aliens could read English since they can speak English but she is surprised they can't read. The alien flicks through the pages then stops at a certain one, making Christel sure which page it is. "I see it's got information of my kind" It says then showing the page out to Christel. She can see the title is burnt and the letters that are readable starts with C and H but it's all she could read. She tries reading the information about this kind but most of it is burnt and unreadable. The only information she can read that makes sense is that this kind converts it's victims into zombies by injecting a venom and impregnates them so should the zombie be killed another 1 of them comes out of the zombie. "I'm interested with this book actually just wish I could read it" It says as it closes the book and puts the book on the bed where her belly is. The feeling of the book on her makes her realise that she isn't wearing the psi-armour. She looks left and right and sees her weapon is also missing. She looks back at the alien that looks back at her. "So what did that book say about Chryssalid human?" It asks her which makes her now know what the alien is, a Chryssalid. "W...Well..." She says nervously feeling a little unsure about telling it what it did say that could be read but feels like she should do it. "It...It says something...about your kind...t-turning v-victims t-to...zombies..." She says incredibly nervously about telling the Chryssalid that she knows now. "Ah yes that, you not thinking I would do it to you right?" It says grinning at her again as she keeps quiet feeling less assured now it just went saying that to her. The Chryssalid stops the grin and sits back down beside the bed. "I promise you this human your safe since you on our side for this war. Your Cydonia's saviour here" It says acting a bit more seriously to her. "C...Cydonia?" She quietly says nervously as she never knew where she was at all. "Wait you don't know your in Mars in Cydonia?" The Chryssalid asks her seeming to be surprised that she never knew where they took her. Mars? Christel thinks now as she now knows she is a lot closer to Earth than she thought they took her. "I...I didn't know..." She says nervously to it. "Human you and me are going to be unstoppable against the enemies together. Take care your going to need it here" It says getting up and leaves the room leaving Christel on her own trying to understand more about where she was
Mars? Christel's mind is about the fact she is on a planet nearby Earth, maybe she could find out more about Cydonia in general if she has a chance to learn about it but she knows it will have to wait until she is able to get moving again.
