The space shuttle was cruising through space at normal speed, a day had past since the crew of four left Earth on an exploratory mission to the unknown Planet X. Capt Melissa Lockhart and her crew of three Randy, Manish and Peyton couldn't wait to go down in history as the first people to explore this planet.
Melissa checks the coordinates of their path and found everything normal. "Can't wait," she chuckled to herself and went to join her crew.
"Is everything good, Captain?" Peyton questions .
"Yeah, everything is in order, in two more days we'll be there."
"Do you think we'll find intelligent life, Captain?" Manish questions.
"Maybe," Melissa replies.
"Anyone up for cards?" Randy questioners.
"I'm in," Melissa replied.
The other two nodded and they proceed to play blackjack.
Suddenly the ship's alarm started wailing.
"What's going on?" Mannish questions.
"I don't know but I'll find out!" Melissa replied.
Melissa races to the cockpit but she suddenly falls as the ship stops. She takes the controls and tries to fire up the engines but it's no good. Rumbling could be heard.
"It's like the ship is caught in something. But I can't see anything the problem must be under the ship." More rumbling could be heard now. "What is this?"
"Captain, what's going on?" Mannish radios.
"I don't know!"
Suddenly Melissa could now see that the ship was inside of something, they were no longer in open space. "Guys you're not gonna believe it but I think we're in the inside of another ship!"
"What are you serious?" Manish radioed.
"Yes go to the nearest window and see for yourself."
They heard more rumbling and then a boom. Melissa checks the camera and sees several gray aliens. They walked on two feet with sharp claws black eyes and welding guns. "What the hell are those things?! Guys we got trouble! Aliens and they look hostile! Can any of you hear me? Hello, hello, hello!"
She looks at the camera and sees Randy walking towards the door and it opens and he sees them. "What on earth?" Two of the aliens fired and Randy was gone.
Melissa screamed as she witness the murder of one of her crew mates from the camera.
Melissa sees them approaching and locks the door. She gets on the radio. "NASA can you hear me? We've encounter hostile activity; I've lost one of my men. Can you hear me? Hello?"
Manish and Peyton were in a gun battle with the aliens but their bullets couldn't penetrate the armor.
One alien throws a gas grenade. Robert and Peyton make a run for it. The aliens fire their lasers and one catches Peyton in the back. "Go without me!"
Melissa could hear the aliens trying to get in. "Darn, what I can do? I could end it but wait perhaps this situation can be resolved peacefully." The door breaks down and Melissa puts her hands up. The alien leader signals her to move and she does this.
The alien soldiers break down a door and find Manish. He puts his hands up but one of the aliens executes him.
Melissa is brought before the General who grins and she's knocked out.

Melissa awakens a few hours later. "Where am I?"
An alien guard appears with a bowl and a spoon and slips it under the force field cell and leaves
Melissa didn't understand but looked at the bowl full of brown and red stuff. "What is this?" She sniffs it. "Ugh." She hears her stomach growling. "Guess I really don't have a choice." She tastes the weird food and finds it good so she eats it all. "I wonder if the others are alright. What are they going to do to me, how are we gonna get home?"
An hour passed and then two guards came and lowered the force field. One of them signals Melissa to get up and follow him.
Melissa was led through the corridor of the ship with one guard in front and the behind her. "Where are you taking me?"
