    Fumes from a fire was drifting violently everywhere and Irken blood painted the cold metal floors and walls of the Irken Armada. Smoke burned the throat and stung the eyes of anyone who got close enough to the flames from the engine.

   "They're everywhere..!" A voice called out through a device that seemed to be a walkie talkie. "send backup!!" They called out running through the halls. Another voice answered the reply for backup, "there's no one else, communications are down--!" The walkie talkie got cut off and loud static was heard.

  "No!" They whispered as they kept going. They cut a corner almost tripping as blood from a wound dripped down onto the floor. They had their hand on their shoulder as they ran off trying to find anyone else on the floor they were on.

   "Damn it! There must be someone else here?!" They said to themselves as they ran into a darkened room. It was filled with armor and weapons used for training young smeets. Maybe I can use something in here? They thought to themselves.

   Footsteps were heard clanking hard against the floor. They were running fast, someone else hard on their heels. They bolted into the room, their pak legs helping them run faster. "hey! You're gonna get me killed-!" the Irken holding their shoulder cried out desperate. "Find somewhere else to hide!!"

   The other Irken glared at the other about to say something but Suddenly the room was filled with some mysterious gas that pooled out around the ground at first, then before anyone could escape the gas ebbed it's way to the ceiling forcing the two badly injured Irkens to breathe in the vile substance.

   They both coughed harshly eyes tearing up and throats burning along with their lungs, or whatever Irkens have to breathe. "We gotta get out!" The one with the pak legs out yelled, teeth clenched from the pain and voice sounding raspy. But before any of them could move a single muscle they fell to the ground coughing blood.

   They hacked up some type of icky substance. It was similar in color to the gas, their jaws stretched wide and their eyes seemingly popping out of their heads. Clawing effortlessly at the metal ground as blood mixed with tears fell where one of them had scratched they both fell  immensely weakened.

   The gas lingured in the room for a while before slowly vanishing away leaving no traces. "Ah, they're dead? Strange..." A random voice bellowed out. Their voice was raspy and sounded like a smoker's voice almost. They wore a mask made of metal but soft on the inside covering their face. You could see their green eyes sparkled with delight at the sight of the two dead Irkens. "I would have thought their pak would have healed them!" He kicked one of them seeing that it wasn't breathing nor moving one bit.

   "B-Boss..!" A small voice squeaked. Compared to the tall raspy sounding alien the shorter one sounded like a sweet, silky voice. "sta-status report? Won't t-take long!"

   The taller nodded as he put one hand on the shorter's head, <"yes, and you can use your native tongue."> They replied kindly. <"okay!"> She sighed relieved. <" The Irkens seem to be weak against this gas because it comes from a planet called,, 'ur..the?'"> she had said the word funny not understanding how to properly say it.

   <"Anyways,"> they pushed their glasses up continuing to read from a device similar to a tablet from urth. <"The components contained in the gas from the unknown planet seem to harm their body. And if we look closely at the Irken body,"> she scanned the lifeless bodies of the Irkens on the ground before continuing, <"their lungs are swollen from the gas somehow.">

   <"Do you happen to know why?"> The taller asked. <"no. I will need more time to research. But,"> she continued, <"their bodies are also becoming enlarged. They will soon burst!"> Nodding the taller walked off into the hallway, <"okay. We leave now, the others will surely die. Also bring one body that has been untouched from the gas from that weird planet."> The female alien nodded understanding.
