Chapter 4: Alien Battleship in orbit
I awoke, I couldn't move, I was being carried by what looked like a giant spider, I tried to move my head to look around, I could see I was being carried down a long corridor, it looked to be made out of the same metal as the fighters.
The ship must have been huge, we eventually came upon a lift of some kind, the spider entered it, I could feel the movement as we rode the lift for what seemed like several minutes. The lift stopped and the doors opened, I saw some smaller spiders walking the corridor, they seemed to be working on something. We passed several human looking people, except their eyes contained solid black orbs that gave them an alien look, I noticed the finger nails on one where pitch black, almost like claws.
Eventually the spider stopped in front of a large door which opened after a second, the spider brought me into what looked like medical quarters, it almost looked designed by humans, what the hell was this place, it put me down on one of the beds, wordlessly it turned and left.
Slowly I began to be able to move my head around, I scanned the room looking for a weapon, I couldn't see anything to use. I was feeling very tired I shut my eyes drifting off, after what seemed like an eternity the large door opened, in stepped a tall female humanoid, she was covered in the chitin like metal, her face looked almost human but held an alien quality to it like the people I had seen in the halls.
She walked up to me, I played like I was asleep, I could hear her moving around, I felt something stick into my arm, I tried not to move.
"I can tell your awake." She said.
I opened my eyes surprised she spoke english, I just stared at her.
"I am sorry about the attack, we detected the worm hole opening, we couldn't be sure what would come through."
I still said nothing, which didn't seem to bother her.
"We dispatched the fighter and the battleships just incase, thats an interesting little ship you have, almost undetectable." She said as she injected something else into my arm.
