The others went on board, and got everything ready for "Take Off", all pumps were activated, and the pressure was building-up in the tanks, all electric & electronics switches were "On", everything showed green accross the boards, computers were on-line and ready, in most cases Landing and Take Off are very simple to operate, the ship has ( 10 ) tanks on top and ( 5 ) on the bottom, it depends in which direction you want to go, and that is how the tanks are filled and compressed with special helium, if you want to go straight up, all ( 10 ) tanks on top are filled with very little help from the booster engines, the more the tanks are compressed the fastier the ship goes up, and the lighter it gets, if you want the ship to go in a ( 90% ) angle up, you would just fill up ( 5 ) tanks on the top right side, and the tank below the bottom right side and off you go, right up at a ( 90% ) angle really fast, and this works on any type of Gravitational pull of any planet. So now the pumps were getting all of the system pumped up to "Take Off" Levels, now the Teams working on the landing gears legs, had ( 3 ) of the ( 4 ) legs freed of the rock Debrie, yet still the ( 4th ) leg kept getting thicker and thicker, fastier an fastier the rock debrie build-up on the ( 4th ) leg, the other ( 3 ) leg were a distance apart that they were not affected by the growth, the small hill got bigger as the minutes went by, so everything was about ready for "Take Off", only ( 2 ) Teams were still out ( Team-2 ) & ( Team-8 ), an then it happened as ( Team-2 ) came over the hill, it was thousands of Rocks the size of ( 2' x 2' ) circular, came rolling and bouncing at ( Team-2 ), the mountain that was on their right side was breaking up, into the small circular rocks coming accross the valley area, so the Team Leader said "Take Cover (he yelled), and Open Fire.", and they fired in the direction of all the approaching rocks, not really being able to (Target Lock) anything, rocks in particular, they fired into the whole group of rocks that was heading to the ship, blowing up one rock with every shot from their lasers rifles, all by just pure luck, at the same time he radioed back to base, "Base come in this is ( Team-2 ), Over", base answered "base here go ahead", ( Team-2 ) said "we're under attack by some rock shape lifeform, there's thousands of them coming at us", base replied "we're sending help, what is your position", "Negative", he replied "I haven't seen the rest of the Team, But I don't think we're going to make it back alive, even if i have a chance to find them, we are about ( 1/4 ) of a mile away from the ship, an we are surrounded, and if you send any help to us now, by the time help arrives we'll be died, then everyone that comes over here, will be trapped and killed, so keep everyone there we won't give up so easy, we'll keep trying to make it back, but leave us if we don't make it back in time, if you get a chance to "Take Off", or we run out of air in our tanks, over." Base replied "we copy that ( Team-2 ), we hope you make it back here safely, we also activated the Ships Defense Grid to include ( 1/8 ) of a mile, so try to get there as close and fast as possible, also have your Team activate their location sensors on your suit, so your Team doesn't get hit by the ships laser weapons by mistake, also there are ( 2 ) Teams that are near the ( 1/8 ) mile marker to help you, so work your way there now, over", "we'll try" he reply a moment of silence then, "Base this is ( Team-8 ) arriving at the ( 4th ) landing gear leg, I see progess is going slow on the ( 4th ) leg, as they dig and bang with their tools, it seems to get thicker an thicker as soon as pieces are chipped off, can we have permission to use our laser rifles to shoot off the rock build-up on the leg, over." base replied "Permission Granted use any means necessary to remove the rock build-up, or we'll be stuck here, we need to be ready to "Take Off" at a moments notice, as soon as everyone's on board, It'll be an Emergency "Take Off", so make sure we're ready, make it quick, over", he replied "Understood,Out.", and ( Team-2 ) had found each other as they were all shooting an running at the same time, dodging the rocks as they flew by at times, then one of the Team members ran left after she got scared, an a small wall closed off her path between the ( 2 ) cliffs, she turned around then got her self ready to run, when suddenly another wall appeared in front of her again, she was now boxed in, so she turned around again and said "I'm gonna take as many of you little stones, that I can before I go, at first I was scared, But not anymore !", she opened fire blowing up alot of rocks into pebbles, at this moment the wall behind her begun to move toward her, but before it could make an attack on her, someone started firing at the wall behind her, several hundred laser blast destroying the rock wall. "Over here." a voice shouted, she looked back while still firing lazer blast from her rifle, it was ( Team-6 ) "Let's go, we saw you go right into this path and it's our Defense Post, you're close to the ship now, where are the others ?", she answered "They went the other way." he said "we can't help them anymore, they're heading away from the ship, so we can't reach them in time, their air supply will be out in about ( 5 ) minutes, and with all the running they're doing it'll run out sooner, lets get back to the ship, it's time to leave." they all started running back to the ship, as they got to the steps and started climbing up to board, when suddenly the Team firing at the rock build-up on the landing gear, yelled out "Behind us fire.", everyone started firing at all the rocks coming toward the ship, and one person kept firing at the rock build-up on the landing gear, ( Team-6 ) leader said "Base the defense grid is not "On" it's not firing, why? over." Base replied "The computer isn't sensing anything, no lifeform or any target, I don't understand why neither, over." ( Team-6 ) said "These are rocks, so change the sensors to detect all rock material or meteor fragments, over." base did just that, and the Defense Grid activated, all lazer cannons responded, locked a target and fired, at every rock that entered the Defense Grid, thousands of lazer blast fire was being shot per second, in all directions, everyone jumped on board while still firing at the same time, the last Team member was on the steps an the ship started to houver, and then the landing gear legs started to go up, (number # 1 leg up, and locked), lazer blast fire still shooting in all directions (number # 2 leg up, and locked), show on the board, leg # 3 was showing resistance from the ground, also leg ( # 4 ) is showing resistance, the Team leader at the steps opened fire at the growth on leg ( # 3 ) shooting it loose, the Team leader lost his balance for a moment as the ship shaked loose alittle, (number # 3 leg up, and locked), leg ( # 4 ) still showed no type of indication. Base called out "Base to door watch." Team leader at the steps answered "Door watch here, over." Base asked "Look at leggs 1,2,3 & 4 give us a report, over." Team leader at the steps replied "Landing gear leggs # 1 is up and closed, (# 2 ) is the same, ( # 3 ) is the same, but ( # 4 ) well it has more rock debrie build-up on it, and it's holding the ships in place by the leg to the surface, I'll keep shooting at it until it comes off and it lets us loose, over." he then opened fire on the rock build-up on leg ( # 4 ), the rock build-up finally blew up into pieces freeing leg ( # 4 ), and it started going up into a locked position with the door closing. Team leader said "Base leg # 4 is up, locked and closed................", but before he could finish talking, he got a tap on his shoulder, he was scared out of his suit, it was another member from ( Team-2) "You made it !", he told her, she laughed and answered "Yes I did, those so call rocks weren't going to get me." Team leader asked "where's "Couger" ?", she replied "he got in the way of some rocks that was going to get me, he is a hero !." Team leader said "Lets go up." she answered "O.K.!", an he then grabbed her hand, when suddenly she was unable to move, there was rock build-up holding her down, and in a spit second she was covered from head to toe like a statue, the Team leader on the steps ran up the stairs and pushed the button, then the rock lifeform leaped toward his arm, the stairway started coming up an the door closed and locked. The rock lifeform that clinged to his arm fell off and started bouncing around, it must be the oxygen in the ship so he picked it up an put it in a pressure tank, and removed all of the oxygen atmosphere then replaced it with space atmosphere, the rock lifeform went back to it's normal aggressive self, now to figure out what the rock eats and drink would be a challenge. The ship left the asteriod, and were well under-way toward the New Galaxy, Now they had ( 90% ) more moltebyte then they would ever need, but at a great cost, they lost three crew members to the asteroid, and the crew had a memorial service at this time, and also with all the running around, the baby was born to the couple that had some activity while everyone was sleeping, there was a little girl born, and now they had to make a meal plan, a day care area to watch the baby, so things were getting back to normal. Now they were operating at ( 90% ) efficiency, and now the ship was ( 90 ) days from its destination, ( 50% ) of the crew went back to sleep and the rest were too excited to go to sleep. They were ( 90 ) days away, and to top it off they had a baby to take turns taking care of, and a good ( 30 ) days went by without any problems to mention. It was just normal routine, the scientist was still studying the new galaxy from even a much closer view, and the sensor can detect the more sensitive color spectrum and process the data with more precision, and they noticed that the new system and planets were developing at a great rate. The planet that was the main target now looked like it had water and an atmosphere. All the data received was looking very good, but it changes a lot on a day-by-day basis. Now every time they have events, or problems, or new data to send back, they send a probe back home to update their progress, and also at the same time they drop a Bouyee marker to direct them as to which path to follow. Suddenly an emergency transmission from home, "This is home base to all ships away from home planet. This an emergency transmission : "Our neighboring enemy planet is running at ( 100% ) efficiency. They survived the shock wave with no damage to their planet or to their military. They are out in search of our people, and destroying the mission of all our ships out in exploration. They have attacked us here at home planet and millions have died, and we have received a tremendous amount of damage, but we also did damage ( 80% ) to their planet, and they received at least a billion casualties. It was very intense, so we're back to normal. The fighting has stopped for right now. Some of our ships have been destroyed that have been on exploration out in deep space, so be careful and watch out for enemy ships. They will fire upon you without warning. That is all. Good Luck! Transmission over". "Kappa man" said, "Now we received the message. We already went through that; these messages are slow, and too late. We need another means of communication, with our Home Planet. We have a good communication system, but in our last message they said it was out of service due to the shock wave. They'll fix it as soon as they can. An alert came out on the intercom. We're approaching a fleet of ships. It looks like ( 6 ) warships and ( 15 ) troops and cargo ships. The captain said, "Open a communication channel and send a standard greeting, and we'll wait for a response. Helm stay far enough to where we can get away just in case". "Yes, Captain", he replied. No sooner did he say that when four warships broke away and headed in our ship's direction. No response was sent to our communication. Captain, "Their shields are up, and their weapons are locked on us. The captain responded, "Bring shields up and send out another greeting. Do not bring weapons on line. Helm; slow reverse, very slowly, Weapons officer, set a "M" style group of space mines in front of us. Helm come to a complete stop ( 50 ) yards away from the mine field weapons. Do not activate the mines until I tell you. We don't want them to know that they're in front of them, Helm. If we come under attack, go to full reverse automatically, weapons. At the same time activate the mine without my order. Is all that clear?", "Yes, Sir", they replied. In coming from the lead ship, "Sir", "Good" the Captain Said: we're ready, put them on the screen. The view screen showed a ( half-man/half-horse ) like creature, and he said, "IGTA TOL MNE TOW MNI GDUN", and the communicator translator translated the message, "We are MOG people. You are in our space. Your ship configuration is not known to us. What species are you ?", We replied, "We are from the Planet tarth, We are Umans, We come in peace, We are passing through. We don't wish to have a misunderstanding. We are exploring deep space, and up to now we didn't know other races lived in the cosmos. We're starting to realize that our part of the galaxy is not unique." They replied: "We do not believe you are just exploring. We have an indication on our sensors that you have moltebyte on board, and that material has to be mined, and our system is the only one that has moltebyte". We replied, "Our system has moltebyte too; not as much as your system, but it is a primary means of propulsion of our space ship, and we could have traveled here, got the moltebyte, and then gone back to build our ships and then come back here. Yes we did mine some moltebyte in this system, but most of it is ours". They replied: "Turn the moltebyte over to us immediately or face the consequences". We replied, "We can't do that. It is our property and what we mined took us ( 10 ) days to mine. We can give you one-fourth of our load, if you need it". They replied, "You will turn over all of your cargo now". We replied, "We can't do that." They replied, "Prepare to die". Transmission ended. They opened fire. We've been hit, the Captain said "now Kappa man". Reverse engine were set at full speed. At the same time the mines were activated and the enemy went to full speed forward. Our ship set battle condition and our weapons systems were now on locked and firing. As we went in reverse, the ship moved towards us and firing at the same time. We were hit about ten times, and received casualties and heavy damage, but it all happened in seconds. The four ships, as they approached so fast they had no time to maneuver away from the mines. The two in the middle exploded simultaneously, and the one to the right had an explosion on the right side, and even though it wasn't that bad, it still exploded.

    Now there was only one, and it hit a mine on the left and heavy damage, but it fired two more shots at us as a last ditch effort, but missed. We then noticed two more warships leaving their convoy and heading in our direction. But they showed no interest in fighting us. Their weapons were Off-line, and their shields were down, and we started to receive a new message from the approaching ships: "We are MOG people, we surrender. Please allow us to rescue our people and render assistance, please". Our captain answered, "You may proceed". They responded, "Do you need any assistance or do you need repairs ?, We are sorry that our people took the action they did. We were monitoring all transmission, and were very surprised at the outcome. Please accept our deepest apology from our people, and you may use our space for safe passage". Our captain responded, "Thank you for your offer, but we are "OK", and we have very little damage, and thank you for allowing us to pass through your space. We hope that an event like this doesn’t happen again. Good luck. End transmission. "But captain", a crew member yelled out, "we have heavy damage, and we lost ten lives". The captain replied, "Yes. I know that, but we don't want them to know it, they could try to finish us off. Helm course ( 279 ) ahead full speed". Little did we know that during our communications with the ship, they had managed to transport a troop of their foot soldiers on to our ship. By what means that couldn't be detected, we don't know. They stayed in the cargo hold, planning a strategy of attack. In the mean time, we went back to work in fixing the damage done to the ship. During our repairs we noticed that our ship had more damage than expected. There were pieces of the ship that were really damaged, destroyed, or missing, and that spelled trouble for the crew since one of those compartments destroyed, was the kitchen and food storage area on the left side. The right side kitchen, and food storage compartment was "OK". "Well, I better tell the captain", one crew member said. In the mean time, some of the crew were getting a memorial service ready for the ten crew members that died, and the other crew members were cleaning up the ship, making repairs, tending to the baby girl, and then ( 2 ) scientists went to study the rock they had caught. To their surprise, the rocks had multiplied, and now there were ( 15 ) rocks, and that's in ( 10 ) days, so in ( 10 ) more days, there will be ( 30 ) rocks. They had no choice but to get rid of the rocks. By jettisoning them into space, all except the one they had caught originally. Since they had all the data on it, and it was tagged with a sensor, so now they jettisoned the rocks and then the weirdest thing happened, much to the scientists surprise the rocks came back to the ship and took refuge, like children clinging to their mother, they cuddled in the broken and damaged part of the ship, making the ship stronger than when constructed. It almost looked smooth on the outside of the ship now. On the inside, they looked like rocky surfaces. By this time they found out that food for the rocks was a mixture of moltebye and sodium phosphates. All they needed was a very small quantity per week. The ship was as good as new, and the compartment could now be used for the crew. As one of the crew members approached the captain, she said, "Captain, I have bad news, one of our food storage compartment was destroyed, and our food and life support is down to half. We won't have enough for the whole crew to make it back to Home Planet. We may have to stay on one of these planets that we passed, or one on the way near the new galaxy. Now we do have enough food and life support to get ( 10 ) crew members back to Home Planet, and that's if they sleep ( 90% ) of the way". "I see", said the captain, "we're almost at the New Galaxy, and in one of those planets it might have some items or food plants, that we can use for food and stock up for the trip home". "No can do, Captain", he replied, "It's the life support that can't be replaced or repaired, not the food". "I see", said the captain, "Try and do whatever is possible to get it to where, we can take at least half of the crew back home, I really don't want to leave any one". A voice came over the intercom: "Captain, our instruments and guages are going haywire. Please report to the control center: "This is the Captain", he replied, "set a bouyee now, and transfer data to be sent back; set condition one "G". As they entered the mysterious part of space and this strange area, the ship began to vibrate and shake, and the computer and lights phased on and off, and where you were standing, the ship around you started to disappear, as though it didn't exist, and just as quickly as it disappeared, it appeared. Then the captain asked the scientist, "What happened ?, Everything is back to normal, I want some answers, Helm report and drop another bouyee. I want to make sure we get our reports back home, the last bouyee may have been too close to whatever that was, Helm". Helm responded, "Sir, I don’t have any idea on what that was, but our instruments are back to ( 100% ) efficiency. Yet I don't have a position. I can get a reference from the only thing I have, which is the bouyee behind us at two mikes. Everything else is new data. It’s all like we went into a parallel universe, the sensors are going crazy gathering all kinds of new data". "One of the scientist: "Yes, this is amazing, Captain. If I may, I've been studying this puzzle since we left our Home Planet, now what we just encountered, is what we have been trying to figure out, if it really exists, "Curved Time". Yes, you heard me right "Curved Time". It is based on the studies of Professor Styine who stated: (that in space about ( 100 ) light years, in every direction is a curved time area, that is due to the expanding of the universe. It bends and contracts and twists and expands. If exited in one spot, and entered in another spot, the time span would be different. For example, we leave our Home Planet in year ( 3,400 ), and we exit the curved time at one spot, and enter into the right about ( 10 ) mikes, we would return to our planet in year ( 10 ). Now if we went left ( 10 ) mikes, and entered we would return to our planet in year ( 6,200 ), and all this is based upon Professor Styine's theory. He also stated that deep space travel may, and can change time also even without curved time, and that's due to the extended speed one is traveling, times the distance, time to the people in the ship would be different than those standing absolutely still. So what we passed through was what I believe is curved time, and Captain you did a brilliant thing when you set a bouyee on both sides of the "Curved Time" line. We have an exact point of entry and an exact point of exit. Now it's still tricky because the bouyee is dropped exactly behind us, so we have to maneuver in front of it, and shoot straight to the other bouyee to get back to the exact point in time that we left. If we go to the left or to the right by even a foot, we would return with a ( 5 ), ( 10) or ( 15 ) year difference. Another thing that I noticed from the data that we received, from the probe we sent to this galaxy from our Home Planet, it was that the probe was knocked off course, or it made a course correction due to something in its path, just before it entered the curved time, and it dropped a bouyee of its own before and after the curved time line. If you send a responding signal to that bouyee, it would be to the right of us meaning it came in at this galaxy's past, before the large explosion. That's why the data showed that all three suns there were stable. Now from what we were seeing from Our Home Planet, was real exact time, and as we got closer that's why we see all the changes happening very rapidly, because as we move forward it changes by thousands of years because we're traveling at the same angle, with the galaxy on our right side at ( 2 o'clock ), and the curved time between us, we noticed the way it changes as we move forward. "Captain", "Kappa man" (yelled out), "I've located the other bouyee. It's the one left by the probe. It's about ( 60 ) mikes to the right, and I've downloaded all the data it has in its memory crystals for the past ( 5 ) million years. It's a good think, because it was almost full. Now it has storage memory for at least another ( 30 ) million years. Someone else can find it. I've also sent this data back to Home Planet, and there are ( 2 ) planets in this new galaxy that can support life, one is farthest from the sun and the other is the third planet from the sun. The closest to the sun has a good atmosphere with a good oxygen contain, and the one farthest from the sun has a low-grade atmosphere with less oxygen contain, and it has a high combustible gassy pockets in a lot of the planet surface. What do we do, Captain ?", The captain responds, "Set a course for the planet that's farthest from the sun. We'll study that planet, and the third planet, plus the sun, to make sure that it's stable, before we make plans for our people to colonize this galaxy. Let's go to full speed, and maneuvering propulsion only".

    As we got underway and only ( 20 ) days away, from our first planet to be studied, we were moving at light speed only, and were preparing to do a small craft landing, not the whole ship like on the asteroid. We don't want to take any chances, and besides, our little rock friends on the skin of the ship don't like oxygen, and they have made us comfortable in fixing our ship, and we don't want to disturb the natural order of things. Now the landing was being readied, with everything needed to land on the planet. As they spent the ( 20 ) days working, it is now time to orbit the planet. Fifteen people Board the landing craft and took off to the surface. They came down slowly due to the gravitational pull, that exists similar to the third planet, and the landing craft works, on the same principle as the main ship. Now if anything happened, they have "Travel Porters", that zapps them back to the ship. But that is used only in emergencies due to the fact, that it leaves you feeling sick for about three days. As they landed they took air samples, oxygen samples, to see if they need any type of pills, or injections, if there's a virus, or disease, or lack of oxygen defenses. As everything checks out "OK !", the door opens, and the ( 15 ) members leave the landing craft, and they start going down the ramp, and they start setting up camp. They unload equipment to do their research. It's day break and you can see that the sun is in the far distance. It's now about ( 30 ) degrees, it’s cold, and everyone can see the cold fog coming out of everyone's breath. The sun is not that bright, and you can look at it directly, and it doesn't hurt your eyes. Now before leaving the ship they had scanned the planet for lifeforms, and there were about ( 90 ) different lifeforms, and they were really weird readings, yet none have been seen till now. But it's only been less than an hour. They start to explore the surface of the planet, and they went in one straight line in one direction. It was a small team of five members, and in their ( 5 ) mile hike out, and ( 5 ) mile hike back, they gathered plant life samples, and little creatures that they saw as they walked by, and they put these creatures into hard glass containers for future study. They finally saw some of the bigger creatures, and a lot of them looked really cute, but yet they were dangerous, and some were ugly and yet gentle. There was one that caught the scientist's attention. It looked like a very large jelly fish, but it was on the surface walking, and the scientist got close to it, and then one of its ( 8 ) long tentacles, wrapped around the person closest to the creature. The rest of them started firing their weapons at the creature, and it dropped the person it grabbed, but that person was dead. Then the creature ran about ( 40 ) feet, and it dropped dead from all the laser fire. Then the scientist went to check on the person, that the creature had in its one tentacle, while some of the other scientists went to look at the creature, as they looked the creature over, they noticed that on it's tentacles, they had a lot of little spikes, on each of them. We supposed that its purpose is to kill its food, and then the creature eats it. One scientist told the team, "From now on we will approach every animal, creature, bug, or anything, with the most extreme caution, as all of the animals on this planet can kill to get their food, and to them we are their food. We now have another casualty. Get the body of our crew member, so we can bury him here on this planet, and get ready for a "memorial service". So everyone headed back to camp, and they had a memorial service. Some of the people studied the data being received by their sensors, In different parts of the camp, and in every group, there's one that studies the stars, and all things in space, and that person noticed something odd in deep space. "Delta man told the captain, "Sir, I was studying ( Sector-5 ), and I noticed that there're ( 15 ) very large meteors, headed in this direction, and they should enter this solar system in about ( 40 ) years, two will hit the ( 3rd ) Planet, one will hit us here on the ( 4th ) Planet. Now my calculations may be wrong, but I did figure them out, three times in long math, and three times by computerized data, and the results were the same all six times, with an error of about ( 500 ) mikes in distance, and even with that, it will still hit". "Well Delta man", the captain replied, "Is it possible that these meteors could be destroyed before they hit, or can we meet them as soon as they enter this solar system, and we can destroy them in about ( 39 ) years. What do you think ?", "Well, Sir", "Delta man" answered, "If our people settle on these two planets, we need to let them know of the danger they will be in, if something should go wrong. Now we can go back to Our Home Planet, and get our people ready to settle on these planets, and we can also redo all the data, and figure out what to do with the meteors, then we will have at least ( 39 ) years to be prepared". "We'll let all the crew know what is going on so they can make their own decision", the captain replied. With business as usual, the crew went on with their studies and some of the crew asked the captain, "Sir, do we build a marker so our people would know that we were here ?", The captain said, "Make a marker in the open valley, in the area most visible from space, and instead of just ( 1,000 ) feet high, make it ( 2,000 ) feet high. It has to be done in ( 30 ) days, that's when we leave to the ( 3rd ) Planet, and study that one by next month, due to the fact that we have to head back to Our Home Planet soon. We don't have too much provisions to make the run back to Home Planet soon, use all means necessary to finish as soon as possible". So they started working on the marker, and the crew was doing the job as fast as they could. They user lasers to cut the ( 10 ) ton square pieces of solid rock, and they used a levitating hook device to pick up the ( 10 ) ton piece, and put it one on top of each other. In placing the pieces of rock on top of each other, they formed compartments inside as living quarters, a communications room, a medical room, and a couple of storage rooms. It had a complex ventilation system, for all the compartments to receive natural air, yet it keeps all bugs and creatures, big and small out of the marker, and even the biggest creatures can't destroy this marker. While everyone in the crew was working on this project, and others were getting the ship ready to move to the ( 3rd ) Planet, one of the crew members was doing an inventory, of the storage room supplies, when she noticed that a lot of the food found on this planet, was gone along with a lot of the food that was stored there, before the battle with the MOG people. So she went to the intercom and said, "Captain, come in". She waited for a reply. "Yes, go ahead", he then answered. "This is Maya, Sir, and I'm reporting that our supplies in the storeroom is about ( 15% ) less, and things are rearranged in a different way. Also, I noticed". A muffled sound was heard and the captain called out, "Maya, are you "OK" ?, Are you there ?, Come in". A scream came over the intercom and the captain called again, "Maya, what is it ?, Security alert to storage room, Security Alert, Storage Room", the captain announced over the ship-wide intercom. Twelve of the crew members ran to the Storage Room and secured the entrance. They opened the door, and saw "Maya" lying on the floor. They approached slowly and examined her. She was dead. One of the security team called the captain, "We may need more backup, there's something in here, our hand instruments show, that there are over ( 20 ) lifeforms here, and our team is only ( 12 ), and "Maya is dead", and we're standing by". The captain answered, "Help is on the way". "Communications radioed all personnel to the ship, "We have a Security Alert on board Mother". Return immediately. You, you, you, get down there now !, Helm close all emergency doors. I want this to stay in that part of the ship. All compartments without any personnel in them activate the In Board Defense Screen, and set it to kill anything that moves. Attention all personnel, the Emergency Doors are closing, and the defense screen in each compartment are "ON". Activate your ID sensors on your waist, and proceed with caution". Helm responded, "Sir, all emergency doors are closed, and defense screens are "ON", and the landing craft is on its way back to the surface to pickup more crew members. They'll be back in ( 10 ) minutes". Captain responded, "Hmmm, good work".
