 Another blast rocks the ship to the left, and you stumble slightly, catching yourself on the wall. Your breathing has increased severely, and it was an understatement to say you were nervous.

 You weren't exactly sure where you intended to go, you just went in one direction on an aimless venture.

 The Narada was attacking your ship, the U.S.S. Enterprise. Romulans inhabited the Narada, and their leader, Nero, was very clear on his intentions. He wanted to kill every single living thing on this ship.

 You think back to what you heard from him when he hailed the ship.

 "You failed us! You said you would protect my home planet, and you did nothing but stand by and watch!" He yelled. You remember the grief in his voice, the pain in his eyes.

 "Romulus is still out there. It isn't destroyed," Captain Kirk said, trying to reason with him.

 "I WATCH IT HAPPEN, SAW IT HAPPEN! DON'T TELL ME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!" He screamed, tears flooding from his eyes. "The one I loved the most was wiped out of existence because your Vulcan couldn't keep his damn word!"

 Kirk sighed in slight annoyance. "Let us meet at a neutral location, and we can make negotiations."

 "No negotiations. My people didn't get any negotiations before they died," Nero spat. "The only thing we will make happen is the suffering and end of your pathetic lives!"

 And with that, he had cut off the transmission.

 He fired upon the U.S.S. Enterprise, completely hellbent on destroying the thing. The Enterprise had fired back, and they were now in the middle of a shootout.

 As you hurried along the corridor, you couldn't help but think back to the transmission and feel bad for the Romulan. The sorrow he expressed was too real. Something had to happen to make him act in such a way.

 You began to realize that you had made your way to the hallway that housed the Transporter Room. You froze in your place to see that they door flew open, and six Romulans came barreling out of the room. 

 One of them noticed you, and immediately shot you. Fortunately, the hit grazed your shoulder, but it still hurt nonetheless. 

 You heard heavy footsteps walk towards you, and you closed your eyes tightly as you awaiting the inescapable pain of death.

 But when it did not come, you peaked and looked up at the man standing over you. It was Nero.

 He was looking down at you with an intense gaze. You gulped and tried to push farther back into the wall, only to fail and manage to make yourself slide closer to him.

 Your eyes locked, and you could see that he was having a hard debate in his mind on what to do with you. It was as if you could see reflections of his mind straight through his eyes.

 His gaze snapped away from you and he motioned his soldiers to follow him, walking down the hallway and turning a corner, leaving you there.

 You were quite shocked and wondered why he hadn't just killed you.

 You decided that sitting here would be useless, so you got up with a groan of pain and stumbled down the hall in the direction they disappeared.

 Phaser fire and shouts could be heard as you walked along the halls. All around you was parts of the damaged ship and bodies, slaughtered by the group of Romulans who had marched through here.
