Kestral fell out of the bed, and rolled under it. There has been a loud explosion, and even louder screams. He tried standing up, but hit his head on the bed, and with a groan pulled himself out from underneath it. "Suzi, what is the situation?" He stood still for a few second, "Suzi?" There was nothing. He moved over to his desk, his clothes where there in a pile. In less than a minute he was dressed and ready to kill. He didn't know what was on the ship, but it certainly wasn't good. His Xaser rifle was in his hands, and his pistol was on his thigh, in it's holster.
He opened the door slowly and looked outside. There was nobody there, suddenly he heard gun fired, and pulled his head back in to his room. What the hell is going on? He ran out of the room, and jumped against the wall. Suddenly Saeki can flying past him, her head was down, blood across her shoulder. "Saeki..." She has gone and hadn't turned back. He ran the opposite way from where she had gone.
As he moved down the corridor, there where marks all over the walls. He wasn't to sure what they all where, and mixture of blood and marks from the guns. As he turned a corner he noticed there was someone on the floor. He was Tom, he was lying there. Kestral ran over to him, and fell to the floor. "Tom, are you ok? Where are you hit?" Kestral recoiled back as he realised Tom was dead. He looked up to see Eve come around the corner, she was firing at something, but Kestral couldn't see it yet. Then as he got to his feet, and pulled the rifle to his shoulder Eve fell to the floor, Kestral looked up to see a Mishu, automatically, he pulled on the trigger, releasing the Xaser rifles awesome power. He moved forward slowly while firing. He finished this creature after about five shots, as it seemed as though Eve had done most of the work.
He looked down at her, she was also dead. a tear dropped from his cheek down on to her shoulder. He looked at her and walked off. "Hello? Is there anybody here?" Suddenly in front of him Lori appeared, she had walked through the wall, or it had seemed like that to Kestral. She was pointing down the hall, towards the bridge. Kestral began to run, he ran past Lori and on towards the bridge. As he entered there where the rest of his crew, all lying down on the floor, dead he assumed, apart form Ghi, who was kneeling in front of one of the five Mishu in the room. "BANG" Ghi fell to the floor, dead.
Kestral's eyes where full of tears, he couldn't see properly, but he began to fire, firing everywhere, firing at anything that was still standing. He moved forward with every gap between the shot's, but he felt invincible, like nothing could hit him. Until a bullet went straight through his left shoulder. He screamed in pain, but continued firing. then he was hit in the left leg, then the stomach, then the right arm. He dropped the gun to the floor, and followed it down. His mind was spinning; he hadn't looked after his crew. They where all dead. He shut his eyes, and gave into death, not willing to fight again. he was to tired, he hurt all over, but someone was slapping him. He thought about opening his eyes to have a look, maybe it was Saeki, she had come back to get him.
One more look can't hurt me. He opened his eyes slowly, a great light greeted him, he shut them immediately. It hadn't been that bright before. He opened them again, and saw the familiar face of Suzi. "Suzi where have you been, I called you and you didn't reply."
Suzi smiled down at him. Kestral had been screaming for about ten minutes now, and she had looked in on him. He had been shouting about all sorts and straight away Suzi recognised it was a bad dream. "It's ok Kestral, you are fine, and safe on the Mikomi."
Kestral stared up at her. What was she talking about, his whole crew was dead. "No, no it's not. They are in the bridge, all five of them. The whole crew are dead, the whole crew are dead, the whole crew are...." He stopped as soon as he felt the pain go through his cheek. Suzi had just slapped him. He sat up quickly. "What the devil...." She shook his head, and laughed, but then felt very embarrassed. "I'm sorry Suzi for that...i don't know what came over me. Is everything ok?" he face had gone bright red, and he felt like he was burning.
"Yes captain, everything is ok. I just came to check on you." With that she disappeared and Kestral was once again alone. He lay back down and shut his eyes. Well that was weird, I think I better get up. He did this quickly, and was sitting in his comfy chair within five minutes. Full dressed and fully armed.
