The Planet Of The Giant Birds
The Music once again wakes me up and I go through my routine and leave the room .
I then walk to the elevator and to the crew's quarters.
As I enter the room I see see the crew eating.
I then look at the captain's table however I only see Mel and the captain waiting for their food.
I then approach them.
"Good morning Ripley". The captain says.
"Good morning". I respond
"Wait wheres Alex and Reimor , did they already eat"? I ask.
"No they still must be asleep". Mel responds.
"I'll go wake them up". I say.
I go back to the elevator and then head towards Alex's room.
I knock on the door.
"Alex are you there"?
I put my ear on the door and I can hear some snoring.
I then open the door.
I see him on the floor in his pajamas with one leg in a blanket.
I also see him snoring and drooling.
"HEY WAKE UP"! I yell.
"Sigh"
I then walk up to him and jab him on his side.
He then wakes up with a yell of pain
He then curls up and begins to speak.
"Why...di..d you d..d..oo that".
"You know why now get dressed food's probably waiting" I respond.
"Ok fine fine"
I then leave the room and head to Reimor's room.
I then knock on the door with no response.
"Reimor are you in there"?
I Don't hear anything.
I decide to walk in.
I walk in to a room that no longer looks like a room.
The bed is nowhere to bee seen and the desk as been dismantled.
I also notice the room has burn marks.
"Reimor" I call his name.
"WHO'S THERE"?! I hear him yell.
suddenly he jumps out of the bathroom holding his sub-machine gun.
"WAIT WAIT ITS ME"! I yell.
"Oh It's you hello" He responds.
"What happened here"? I ask.
"Well I saw this room and thought, I can turn many things into weapons". He responds.
"So I spent the entire night trying to make weapons."
" I tried to turned the clock into a sonic weapon and used the bed for spare parts".
My mind: right now he's reminding me of Alex.
I find that terrifying now we have 2 people obsessed with building.
"Well that explains what happened to the bed". I say.
"Yes but the weapon exploded and I decided to turn the sink and shower head into a flamethrower".
"How did that go"? I ask.
"Well those burn marks aren't from a test". He says.
"Well then what did you do to the toilet"? I ask.
"Well i'm trying to make that a bomb". He responds.
"You know as a self destruct mechanism".
"Well hopefully it wont come down to that". I respond.
"Anyway what are you doing hear"? he asks.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted breakfast" I respond.
"I suppose I can eat a bit before I continue". He says.
We leave the room and Alex gets out of his room barely awake.
We then head towards the crew's living quarters.
I walk in to see Mel and the captain eating.
Our plates on the table.
We then begin to eat no one says a word.
We then sit down.
Mel then breaks the silence.
"Hey did you guys hear the news"?
"What"? I ask.
"Apparently only a few minutes after we took off after we took of commander Shepherd was inducted into the spectures".
"Wait commander Shepherd the war hero"? I ask.
"Yes" she responds.
"Amazing" Alex responds.
"Hmm its just a title that means nothing". Reimor states.
"Well for us it dose". I respond.
"It seems that they're on the hunt for a rouge turian named Saren". Mel says.
"Saren" Alex whispers.
"Have you heard of him"? Mel asks.
"We met him face to face". I respond.
"He was the one responsible for our home Eden Prime. Alex says.
"Oh" Mel says.
"I'm sorry to hear that Reimor says.
"Seeing your world burn must have felt awful".
"I believe in Shepherd, He will find Saren and avenge our home". I say
everything then goes quiet
The captain the speaks up.
"I have important news as well I've located another of the people on the list.
We then head to the first floor and to the galaxy map.
"So who are we looking for"? I ask.
"We don't know his true name or appearance".
"All we know is that he is Male."
"Then how do you know he can be trusted"? I ask.
"Well A few years ago this person managed to enter into Alliance data banks".
"Thankfully nothing was leaked".
"When we managed to contact him he told us all he wanted was to know more of anything".
"We realized he could be an important asset to us what with his knowledge of hacking".
"He was light-years away from our best hackers".
"So we made a deal that if he kept quiet we would give him data and better equipment".
"The deal was made but we were never able to see his face".
"Now we need him".
"I still don't see how he can be trusted" I respond.
"Regardless, He is probably the most important person we need".
"Well where do we look"? Alex asks.
"We've located him on a Planet named Gama x367 in the outskirts Armstrong Nebula".
"Why did it take a while to find him" Alex asks.
"Well he is constantly moving and its hard to find him".
"Now you might want to get in your armor we will reach the Armstrong Nebula soon".
"Yes sir we then head to our rooms.
And so we leave our uniforms and enter our armor.
The captain explains the plan.
"So what you should know about Gama x367".
"It has few colonies and is surrounded by high mountains".
"The air is fairly thin".
"The gravity Is slightly lower than Earth".
"As for Wildlife only oversized birds".
"That's all you need to know".
"As for your escort I'll sent some of our crew to accompany you".
"I don't think so". Reimor says.
"I refuse to do nothing".
"I think I have the strength to satisfy you bodyguard needs".
"I alone am worth 30 of your men".
"Well since I know you won't take no for an answer I might as well let you". The captain responds.
"Here" The captain says.
He hands us a radar.
"This will lead you to your objective."
I then grab the item.
"Thank" You sir I say.
And so we head to the shuttle.
"Alright i'll have to drop you off fast those giant bird creatures might start attacking" The pilot says.
"Why" I ask.
"According to our info its mating season and they are hostile towards potential competition".
"Alright" Alex says.
And so we enter the atmosphere.
After 2 minutes rain clouds can be seen and peaks piercing them.
"Wow those mountains are huge". Alex says.
"looks like we won't have clear weather". I say.
"Ill have to land slower" The pilot says.
"Steady now" I hear him say.
suddenly the ship begins to shake.
"What was that? I ask.
Then the ship shakes again this time more violently.
Suddenly a claw breaks through the metal.
"WERE UNDER ATTACK"! The pilot yells.
Pilot Pov:
I try to escape the grasp of the creature.
I then see another claw attacking the ship.
"I'LL TRY TO ESCAPE THE GRASP USING ALL THE POWER WE HAVE".
Suddenly we are let go and then I feel a crash.
"NOW'S OUR CHANCE". I yell.
However I try to fly us up but nothing happens.
"Crap the engine must be broken". I say.
"I'll check the outside". I hear the salarian say.
I then walk out of the ship following him.
"Well there's the problem the engine has been destroyed". He says.
"Can you fix it".
"Sorry but it's unfixable". He says.
"That's not good I say".
Ripley's Pov:
I see Reimor talking with the pilot and overhear them talking about the broken engine.
"Alex maybe you can fix it". I say.
"Even from here I see how broken it is there's no way I could". Alex says.
I then see Reimor and the pilot heading towards us.
Suddenly we hear a screech.
The giant bird can be seen again dive bombing towards us.
I then see a cave.
"TO THE CAVE"! I yell.
we then rush to the cave as fast as possible we don't make it so instead we hide behind some rocks.
The bird then dive bombs the ship.
The ship then explodes.
"Well at least its dead" Reimor says.
Suddenly the creature rises from the fire.
It then lets out a screech and fly's away.
"No.. the ship". I hear the pilot whisper.
"We need to contact the ship" Alex suggests.
"Good idea" I say.
"Ground trip to Unity come in"
Static
"We have a problem there's nothing but static"
"What"?! Alex says.
"Yeah"
The pilot then speaks
"Wait so dose that mean that.."?
"Yes we are stranded on this planet" Reimor responds.
Author's note: Hello again. So this chapter went down a lot more differently then i wanted. Then i realized that the Idea I had would have been to long for one chapter. i have decided to split it into at most 2 more chapters. Last time I said Alex would get a more time is still true the next few chapters will begin that. Now the pilot will also have a bigger role for the next few chapters ,he will get a name next chapter. Well that's it this time remember to leave review Thank you and goodbye.
