[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6727879, member: 92305"] [b][size=150]I climb up into the gun turret and peer out over the hull into space.[/size][/b] I look for any asteroids heading towards us. Flipping on the tracking computer, I don't see any asteroids from the distant field heading toward the [i]Dorian Discus[/i]. So, what was that bump we all felt? [i]Wait.[/i] There. On the hull! There's something moving near the long range sensor dish! I squirm in the seat and twist my neck to get a better look out the viewport. It looks humanoid! It's....black scaled...hard to make out. It looks like it is fiddling with a black box that has been attached to the hull near the dish! I jab my thumb at the inter-ship comm. "Captain Garnet! There's something out there on the ship's hull. I think it's alive!" "Let me check the sensors..." returns the Captain's voice. "Nope. Nothing on the scope. Everything is clear around the ship. Maybe you are seeing things. Happens if you're not used to space travel." Well, I know I saw something. I can't see it now, though. But, I know the damn thing is out there. Yeah. There. Over by the maintenance port. It looks like it is clawing at the components inside! It rips out a clawfull of wires and cables! Then, it turns! IT'S LOOKING RIGHT AT ME! I press my back flat into the seat, and I check the weapons. Then I use the foot pedals to rotate the weapon towards the creature. I can see its bulbous eyes and warty snout. The blaster cannon flashes and blasts the creature off the exterior of the maintenance port. I smile to myself. Whatever it was, it's gone now. [/QUOTE]
