Unexpected Arrival

A rumbling kind of siren blared that made the captain jump. He mumbled, “That’s odd. I wasn’t told of additional arrivals.” To Humboldt he asked, “Did you schedule any more students to come aboard?”

Humboldt shook his head.

The captain grabbed me by the wrist and said, “Follow me.”

As I allowed him to lead me below deck, I asked, “What’s up, sir?”

“We have an unauthorized arrival and I need you for protection.”

I almost laughed until I remembered I was wearing the body of a Marine.

We made it to the skin bay in time to see a Marine suit fall from its cables and hit the deck with a thud. It looked confused at first but then it saw us approaching and held its hands up defensively.

“Check with your comm. officer,” it said. “You should be receiving a distress signal any second. We came under attack. I barely made it out alive.”

“Who are you?” I demanded.

“I’m the technician, doctor Bolder, who sent you here. I was wearing the lab coat.”

The captain interrupted. “What happened?”

“The training camp was infiltrated.”

“By who?” With expectation in his tone, he asked, “Was it the Enemy?” Some people called the aliens by the name Enemy.

“No, it was the Skeptics. They were killing students and staff off left and right. They nearly got to me too.”

I grabbed him by the throat and asked, “Who else can operate the teleporter?”

“Just me,” he replied, confusion playing across his rubbery face.

“Then why are you here? You should’ve stayed behind to help more of them get here.”

The captain added, “You fucking coward. They’re all stuck there now that you’re here.”

“You don’t understand captain. They’re all dead.”
