I wake from a sleep I wasn't expecting to see a sticky note stuck to my head. I take off and turn it over to see it some how written in my language perfectly. I read the note out loud to myself. 

"Du bist spät" It takes me second to comprehend that it says you're late. When I do, I throw my sheets away and run through my door now terrified that I am late and I know what Spock said to me. I promised I would be on time. I charge at full sprint as I race towards the elevator That I think will take me to the bridge. It takes me a moment to see the slight uneasiness in everyone as they do there job. Maybe it's because of my hair? I burst through the elevator to see a really strange looking women. Wearing a blue jump suit. Her face is all skin and pulled back at that, a translator around her neck.

"Sorry I am late and who is she?" I ask pointing to her. I gasp for air, My eyes fall over to the window as I stare up at the screen and I feel my jaw drop. There's rocks every where and ones that seem to be exploding to. It's honestly lovely.

"We are on a search and rescue mission for this women's crew who got attacked on The planet that's coming up soon. " KIrk says pointing to a planet that looked almost black. "And over sleeping can get fired. Don't make me fire you." I flinch then grumble under my breath. I sit down on the floor next to the captain's chair and stare off into space.

"Keptain, I am getting a reading." Chekov says from his chair as he starts to click buttons on his computer.

"Have Uhura hail them." Kirk says looking at a women with long black hair.

"Yes, captain." She replys flicking a switch above her. I stand up and gaze at something in the distance which makes it seem like space is moving. The women we are helping shuffles a little bit to make her self seem scared yet in her eyes she isn't. The women knows, It's a trap.

"Cap-" I am cut off by Kirk's hand.

"Not now, Mr.Sulu zoom in please." This is when we all stand up and gaze in horror at the monstrosity in front of us. It comes at us.

"Shields up, fire at will!" Kirk shouts. Chekov clicks a button. My heart begins to race. Spock shoots a look at me, he's telling me to Kirk that I can help. There is no time, I ran out of the bridge and go down the elevator. I press my self up against the wall and the metal covers me.

"Officer Cybrus, where the hell are you going?!" I here Kirk shout at me. I can help. There's an explosion, I fall to the floor of the elevator. The door opens to a bunch of panicked crew members. When they see me all of them start to rush over.

"Officer whats going on?" A red shirt asks. I pause for second and try to take in the blaring lights.

"Um, we are being attacked by an alien federation. Please Just remain-"

"Cybrus, stay up in the bridge with Sulu and Chekov it's to dangerous down here." Kirk shouts as me pulls me back to the elevator. I struggle out of his grip.

"No, sir. I am sorry it's my job to help these people and lead them as first officer." I shout back. Kirk just stares at me for me second, he's panicked about the ship to pay attention to a rebelling officer. I shake away from his grip and dart down the hall way. The alarms blare all around me as I search for anyone that might behind this. Another explosion shakes the ship and I fall to the floor hitting my head, I yelp in pain as I try to regain my footing on the revolving ship. I run towards the nearest window and stare down at a large amount of tiny ships crashing into the ship. I race towards the medical bay in hopes of finding McCoy and me being help find wounded people.  Another shake from the ship sends everyone flying but, I dig my self into the metal to stable my self. I continue to make a move towards the med bay. I thrust the doors open my with my power as I stare at all the moaning in pain as they roll around the beds. McCoy looks up from one of the people he's helping an gives me a look. When all the sudden REALLY tall armored things burst through the doors and start shooting at the already almost dead crew. I scream, I thrust the heavy door effortlessly out of its hinges and swing it towards the things with guns. They take there last breath, they fall to floor. I showed my power to McCoy. I don't care though.

"What was that?!" He shouts as I drop the door when I hear Kirk's voice blaring on the speaker. I don't answer McCoy I just leave.   

"Officer Cybrus please come back to Bridge I need some one the COMM." I notice eyes staring. I know it's the only choice. I wobble back to the bridge trying not to pass out, or cry because of the shooting pain from my head. 

"OK good you're back." Chekov says pointing to the seat next to him. I sit.

"Where's the captain?" I ask looking at the man sitting in the captains chair.

"He's helping with security, Spock told us the people are looking for an artifact we got on are last mission. Please help Mr.Chekov." I nod. All sudden there's a large thrust of energy. I go flying forward banging my head on the warp start. I put my hand to my head it's wet, I am bleeding. I freeze remembering that I have Silver blood. 

"Cybrus are you ok?" Chekov asks. I nod my head. 

"I am ok." I reply.

"Yes! We are at 100% Impulse." Chekov shouts at the man. He nods his head.

"Great work Mr. Scot! Maximum impulse towards the nebula." He shouts back at us. Chekov and type buttons into the computer. I smile we be able to get away after all. I am wrong though. All the sudden we stop. The last amount of power is gone. We don't have much left. The neck is gone. 

"Coach to bridge, how much power to we have?" Kirk shouts.

"Uh, we are losing internal defense." Chekov shouts.

"All systems are failing ship wide Captain! Emergency bulkheads are ceiling but, structural integrity is at 18% and falling sir." The man shouts. I can't think anymore. I am just on auto pilot this situation is so familiar to me it's scary.

"Abandon ship Mr. Sulu." All are faces go blank as Kirk says that.

"Yes, captain."

"Give the crew a chance to escape try to get as far way as possible from the ships." Kirk says. Mr Sulu frowns and looks at the status of the ship.

"We can not move until the saucer is completely removed sir!" Mr Sulu says. Kirk's side goes quiet for a second before he says something.

"I can handle that." He says. Then Kirk is gone. It goes silent as I try not to say a word or let anyone see my sparkling silver blood. We sit silence awaiting Captain's next set of orders. I play with my skirt to try and keep my cool and totally lose it. I tell my self I should help but, I don't.

"Impulse engines drawing energy from ackcilary generators-" The door bursts open and the aliens break through. I scream as one of them shoot down the last two officers on the bridge  but, then falls to floor and so the rest. We look back to see Kirk. A wave of relief washes through me. 

"Keptain! agh." Chekov shouts in relief. 

"How many of the crew is still abroad the saucer Mr. Sulu?" He asks approaching my COMM. 

"About 100 sir." He replys. That's when we all stand up and gaze in horror at the planet we're about crash into. 

"Get the crew into pods." Captain says.

"Yes, Sir." We all reply. We once again dash down the hall way yelling at all the people to get to the escape pods. I keep a calm face on, even though inside I am screaming. A lot people are bleeding I can't help but gaze at the red blood. It's so murky not what I thought it would look like. 

"Please right this way." I say grabbing the first person I see. I keep my head down as I punch in buttons to send them away. I keep pushing the people in until they are all gone. It's just us 4 now. 

"Cybrus!" Mr. Sulu shouts as he throws me into on of the pods. His eyes widen when looks at my face but, the goes back to helping everyone else. I watch the ship in horror as It burns up. What's next for me?
