The Airship Book 1: Maroon

Alien

(The "Glob's" POV)

What the heck? Where am I? I feel squeezed into something. Something translucent. Huh. Interesting. How did I get here? Oh. Right. I was sent from Polus by my superiors. They gave me a mission to eliminate all the humans on "The Airship". I am just a trainee, so they gave me no big challenge. All I had to do was kill eight humans. "Simple enough." I had thought. They had locked me into a comet capsule and had sent me at the airship. I had crashed through the wall, but the comet capsule had broken open and had stunned me, so they managed to trap me in this translucent container. I had just started the mission and I was already stuck! How humiliating.......

(Red's POV)

I glance down at Yellow, who is lying down on one of the medical beds. She had grunted a few times before falling silent. The others that had come had left a few minutes ago. I didn't know if she was okay or not. A hand touched my shoulder. I whirled around, surprised. White was standing behind me carrying a monitor. "Well, what are her stats?" I asked quickly. "She...is paralyzed." He replied. And before I could ask any more questions, he said: "There is a 40% chance of her surviving." "What?!" I screamed. Breathing heavily, I screamed in some sort of angsty voice, "What do you medics know!?" "I'm not a medic!" He screamed back. "I'm a captain!" "Oh no, oh no, oh no!" I yelled. "What am I going to tell Maroon?" And without knowing what I was doing, I punched White STRAIGHT IN THE FACE. I swore I heard his visor crack under my fist, but I wouldn't know, because I ran crying to one of the bathrooms.

(White's POV)

Blood trickled down my face as I fell to the hardwood floor of Medical. My visor's glass had scraped my face and now I was lying on the floor. It's not that I couldn't get up, I didn't want to. Red had just punched me in the face, and I felt stupid. I guessed I should have known what would happen when I delivered the news. I thought about crying, then I thought about swearing. I choose the latter. After awhile of throwing swears at nobody, my willpower let me up. I stared at Yellow for a few moments, and then she rolled over. The roll itself was good news, but her oxygen tank was the stunner. It was punctured! That explained everything. The oxygen tank must have been punctured when she had hit the wall. All she needed was another oxygen tank!
