"Sir, we're getting a transmission." The man pressed a few keys, and the transmission popped onto the screen. "Uh sir, you should come look at this, now!" The Captain walked over to the panel. "What does it mean, sir?"
"I don't quite know? It's in a different language for sure."
"And sir, what are those, those 'things' in the background? Are they aliens, or what?"
"I don't know that either, call the..." The Captain stopped talking, and stared at the screen in disbeleif. On it, the 'things' were holding up the dead MO. They threw him away, and the transmission stopped, the screen turned black. The ship suddenly rocked, and shook violently. "Whats happening," the Captain said. The man pressed on the keyboard rapidly, and stopped.
"It looks as if the transmission was holding a virus, I don't know how it could've gotten through though. I'll try and destabilize it, or atleast gain enough time to stop it." The screen suddenly started flashing dark red, saying, "Warning," over and over again. "Uh... sir, the virus shut the ships engines down, looks like we're not making it home, alive anyway. The ship will crash in about," he pushed more keys, "an estimate is about 30 minutes, an hour at the most."
"How far are we away from Earth City?" The Captain was panicing, and shaking.
"Another estimate," he pressed even more keys,"about 3, perhaps 4 hours away. We have no chance, this virus can't be stopped. I never thought it possible, that a virus could shut a ship down, but I guess there's a first for everything."
"What about a last transmission, do you think we could without spreading the virus," the Captain said.
"What do we have to lose, besides ya know, a few thousand ships," the man laughed.
"I don't find that funny," the Captain said," but will you answer my question already."
"Let me check," the man said," well, I can't find anything about it, so I don't know."
"You don't kn, you don't know! Thats really great!"
"Listen sir, I'm sorry, I guess we could try."
"Well, we're gonna, so start up the Transmission Sender." A few men ran around, gathering the equitment, and supplies they needed to send a transmission. "Is it recording yet?" One of the men nodded, and the Captain started," Hello, this is the Captain of the Octouis speaking. We are sending this transmission for one reason, to protect you, the people from further destruction. At 1300 hours we recieved a transmission from an unknown sender. We proceeded, and opened it, not knowing the damage it will do. As we got further into it, it showed some rather graphic, and disturbing images. When it was finished, we finally figured out that this transmission was holding a virus of some sort, that shut down our engines. We are sending this to warn you, and to inform you that we will not be making it back. We are sorry if the virus has travelled into this transmission, and spreads to you. This is the Captain of the Octouis, signing out."
"Captain, we only have about 45 minutes left."
"We should try and..." The Captain awwed, as he stared out the window. A ship was gaining very fast. They suddenly recieved another transmission, and the man asked if he should open it. The Captain nodded, and the man opened it. It was more of those 'things' on the screen. More strange symbols popped up onto the screen. The Captain looked out of the window, and everything suddenly shutdown. He stared at the ship, and a blue streak shown in the window. He heard a loud crackkk!, and everything blew up!

"Sir, the Octouis has just blown up"
What's the cause,"the Captain said. The worker pressed a few keys, and suddenly spoke out.
"Looks like some sort of virus, they sent one last transmission to... us. We just got it, I'm opening it now." He pressed more keys, and it opened on the screen, and played. When it finally ended, everyone was silent, hoping the virus hadde'nt spread. After about 10 minutes, they knew it hadn't. "Call the President, we need to warn them."the Captain said.
"Doing it now, sir. Uhhh... sir, What's that?" Something suddenly jumped onto the windshield, and broke it. Everyone started to scream as they piled in through the hole. The new enemy wasn't there only problem, there was a big hole in the windshield, which would suffocate everyone. The new enemy was 8 '0 ft. tall, with long, sleet black hair. They were very buff, with wings, and they wore steel armor, which made their skin like rock. They had sharp fingernails, and toenails, and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. They were called Gargons. One Gargon walked up to a human, lifted it up, and bit into it's neck, spraying blood all over people, the ceiling, and the floors and walls. The Gargons proceeded to kill everyone else with handleless blades, and their own 2 hands. They then steered the ship down, into a nose dive, killing everyone, and sending a message to the President of the World.
