Chapter 1: We are green in Five,
Designation: Colonial vessel Hail Mary, Cargo.
Sector: 13-lima-16-foxtrot-9-13
Two men are moving cargo into the hold. One loses grip on his crate and drops it. The hard exterior seems fine unharmed and the men continue carrying the crates. Little do they know what happened inside. As they place the crates in the hold they take a break and walk off.
(A short time later)
They return and assess the damage of the cargo. The dropped crate is opened and the men look over the small box. In side is a small glass container, cracked and broken open, spilling what appeared to be water into the carbon fiber crate. They move on to another crate and open it to see what is missing. They open it and are stunned at what is found.
Inside are small containers carrying the embryonic spreaders of the Xenomorph species, aptly name: Face huggers.
"Wait! if that's whats in these then where did the other-"
He was cut off as the spider like creature jumped out from behind a box and latched onto his counter part's face. Panicking, he ran out of the hold, sealing the door. He runs down the corridor toward the cockpit. As he enters, his state of emergency gains questioning looks from the other crew members.
"Calm down, you look like you've seen a g-"
He was interrupted as the crew member rushed to one of the of the control console and activated the distress alarm.
"Please! we need help! We have possible outbreak!"
The other members exchange glances and asked questions.
"What's going on?"
Current Location: Atmosphere of Eden prime
Local time: 9:15 Pm
"Please! we need help! We have possible outbreak!"
"We copy, coordinates are marked and a team is on it's way, sit tight." The pilot replied. She began flipping through the comms into the hold of the small ship.
"Sir we have possible outbreak of Xenomorphs on a colonial ship in our vicinity."
The commanding officer looked around the other passengers with a smug grin.
"Copy that, we're deploying." He says looking toward a speaker.
He looks back to his group. "Alright marines, looks like we got a bug hunt on our hands! I want you all ready in five, got it?"
The group looks back to him with a mixture of serious looks and wild smirks. "SIR, YES SIR!"
The Marine ship begins to fly near the colonial vessel. It docks and the group of soldiers ready. As they walk down the long walkway, they stop at the door and commanding officer barks orders.
"Pholey, you're on point."
A large man gives a nod and slides the pump of his shotgun forward. He walks to the door and brings it level. He hit the button on the side, opening the door. The dark room is met by a number of tank lights.
"Clear!" He yells back.
A women with a small motion tracker follows close behind, the multiple ticks met by nothing. "He's right."
"Bravo, you take left. Charlie, your on me. Move!" The lieutenant ordered.
The team splits and goes down separate corridors. Bravo reaches the cargo bay and scowers its contents. They find the man, dead on the floor.
One of the marines kneel down and examines the large cavity in the man abdomen. blood and the small amount of tissue he had left is spread around him. "We got bugs."
Elsewhere, Charlie reaches the cockpit and examines the room. Empty except for an eery sight, blood covers the console and a body of a crewman lay there mutilated.
Static is over heard. "Find anything?" The lieutenant asks, holding his hand to the side of his helmet.
"One body sir, its not pretty."
"Same. We're regroup in the cargo bay, hold position."
"On it."
The lieutenant put his hand down and turns to the marine looking over the body. "Anything you can tell me?"
The soldier looked up. "Too much blood, can't read name tag. Death, Xenomorph tail through the nape of the neck and out the mouth. This is some freaky shit sir."
(ambiance)
Static broke the silence. The sound of a pulse rifle came through. "Ontact...Repeat...cont-" The transmission cut out to static. The room shook and another comm came through.
"Sir, we have an explosion, the ships going down! I need you back here ASAP!"
The lieutenant placed his hand back to his helmet. "Got it, we're oscar mike."
The group began running down the corridor. as the neared the docking port they heard somoene.
(Boom-shik chik-boom-shik chik)
"COME ON YOU UGLY SON'S A BITCHES!"
(Boom-shik chik)
a deafening squeal was heard and the group came around the corner to see Pholey against the door, a Xenomorph lay limply in a pool of glowing green blood, eating through the grated floor. As they met up another Xenomorph pounced on to Pholey, pinning him. It bared it drooling mouth close to his face but was kicked to the side and received a burst of shots from a pulse rifle.
Another of the group helped him to his feet and they hurried down the docking corridor. As they did they saw another sleek and angular ship appeared out of nowhere as the burning cargo vessel soared through space.
They opened the door and were greeted by the on board medic. They pushed through and strapped in. The lieutenant asking question.
"Private, what happened?"
"We we're looking through the cargo and they came through the vent. The ship is full of humpers sir."
"Well shit, O'Mally keep with the ship and land us near it, we've got a job to finish."
The pilot came back through the intercom. "We're going into unknown territory, possible friendlies. Atmosphere is habitable."
the cargo vessel crashed down in an open field on the the outside of a settlement.
The ship came low through the atmosphere and touched down. Everyone stacked up to the door. and waited. the light above it glowed red and the lights went out. The lieutenant extended his hand, five fingers showed through the faint red light.
four
three
two
one
His hand pumped into a fist as the light shifted to a green and the door opened. The marines stepped out, rifles at the ready.
aAs everyone began to take in there surroundings they realized this planet seemed a lot more colorful.
(elsewhere)
Twilight sparkle lied in her bed asleep. As she heard a loud roaring of something she jumped from her bed and stared out the window. As she saw something large and burning crash outside town she wondered aloud.
"Was that a meteor?"
She quickly stepped around spike and went down the stair and outside where she was met by two of her friends, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
"Hey Twilight, you coming out to see the show too?" Asked an ecstatic pink mare.
"I don't think it's a show Pinkie." Jumped in a rainbow maned mare.
"Rainbow Dash, you go get Fluttershy. Pinkie, you go get Applejack. I'll go get Rarity. I want to see whats going on."
