Alien Petals

Smoothing her long brown hair self-consciously with her manicured fingers, Kimi Wilson joined the rest of the scientific mission team in celebrating their victory in the space ship's laboratory.

"What's next for us after this?" her teammate Lia asked. She was one of the well-known IT experts in the current human community on Planet Venora, which they all considered their home.

Kimi was still flustered from her quick, spontaneous tryst with their security officer Lee 5 who was a huge, powerful cyborg that had been sent to protect them. She recalled his every touch and felt her face heating up. She was afraid Lia could actually see through her.

Raissa, an award-winning botanist she idolized, spoke up. "Tim's already in the cockpit getting ready for our departure. We should clean up here and change into the proper gear now."

Everybody helped pack away the food and wine they had consumed. The plant samples they had extracted from Planet Earth were safely put away, ready for initial testing once they were gliding in outer space on their way back to Planet Venora.

Within a few minutes, they were all dressed appropriately and strapped in special seats in the center area of the ship, awaiting the take-off. Kimi took a sideward glance at Lee 5, whose handsome face was as expressionless as ever, as if nothing had happened between them earlier in the bathroom. His ebony hair looked slick as always, while his bulging muscles seemed about to burst through his classic uniform. She could imagine the lustrous metal that made up his arms and legs integrated with his well-built human body.

The ship shuddered a little before it rose from the ground. The take-off was shaky. They hovered a bit within the atmosphere of Earth before the vessel began to wobble and vibrate dangerously.

Kimi gripped the steel arms of her seat tightly. In a snap, all her muddled up thoughts and feelings of confusion about her sexual relationship with Lee 5 flew from her mind. All she could think about now was her life, at risk thousands of miles above the mildly less dangerous ground.

"What's going on?" their other teammate Ned, also a scientist, whispered. He was a veteran of such missions and also the oldest in the group, but still his voice shrilled with alarm.

Suddenly, the ship swayed and then plunged forward. Kimi screamed, her voice blending with the other sounds of fright and panic. Her heart stopped while the world around her turned upside down. She could feel them plummeting back to Earth in top speed.

We're going to die. This was her thought right before the ship abruptly stopped, causing her to lurch forward and recoil backward due to her seatbelt.

A few seconds of silence followed. Kimi's breathing was raspy as she tried to absorb what had just happened. She didn't dare move, somehow awaiting some sort of aftershock.

"Thank God we're alive!" Lia suddenly exclaimed, taking off her seatbelt slowly and gulping in deep breaths.

Kimi was still in shock. She waited for her breathing to slow down and her dizziness to subside before she removed her seatbelt and attempted to stand up.
