Fiction:Captain of Space and War/5

Wormhole
"Sir, we are arriving at the Tigris Wormhole" said the helmsman, Lizrawn remained sat in his captain chair the whole trip, thinking in a plan from the coming events, his reptilian expression reflected preoccupation for it.

"Are sensors showing anything else?" asked the captain, the Com Officer checked the sensors.

"No sir, just the wormhole, and some installation debris near it, as they look in the panels, they have long time here without any important presence, neither Imperial or Rambo" as the Com said that he turned to his other duties, Lizrawn became more thoughtful, the current retreat of the imperial Alliance could not now be the reason of these deserted place, this area was now on control of Imperials, but why they could not secure it?

"Tell me COM, is this the way this Nigtrions pass to quadrant 82?" asked Lizrawn, this could be a possibility, and Tigris Galaxy was considered and declared "Devastated" no profit could possible come from that sector, it was overrun by Xhodocto, and by Nigtrions as well, what could possibly Imperial Alliance do with that place, they were right to abandon this place, nothing good could possibly came from there.

Anyway, those thoughts were not wise for Lizrawn moral, this only could get worse his "fear" for that place.

"No Sir, Nigtrion main activity does not come from this Wormhole, Nigtrions use Psionic Portals to travel across systems, galaxies and some say even between Universes" said the COM, but his voice meant that he didn't believe does speculations.

"Could you say what is in the other side of the wormhole?" asked Lizrawn.

"No sir, for a decisive confirmation of the other side of this wormhole's activity can be done in a Worm hole installation."

"Such as that near it?"

"Affirmative"

"But that place is destroyed, even if its enormous, I can only see big fragments floating the Wormhole at safe distance"

"That is not entirely true sir, my scans just detected a fragment with balance and atmosphere good enough to support some of our specialists"

"Nice to hear it" he turned to his Corporal, Lizbirg, the chief of the Lizardian elites aboard the Labyrinth, "Corporal, I want you and a group of your specialized soldiers to enter that fragment and retrieve all data to be scanned and decoded"

As the Corporal was about to enter a door, the COM officer added "Corporal, you will have 45 sectons to retrieve the data and get our of there, the fragment will enter the wormhole in that space of time, attracted by its gravitational force"

The Corporal disappeared from the bridge, and the Captain Lizrawn merged again in his thoughts.

Wormhole Installation
The Shuttle landed, the Lizardian elites descended running down across a metallic plate of the space fragment, the Elites secured the place, and the Corporal Lizbirg came down as well, "Lieutenant, we are in the space fragment, indicate us where is this computer, we will proceed according to plan!"

The Shuttle moved out, turned off his engines and began as well floating in the space, maintaining close distance with the Fragment. The atmosphere was not as pleasant as the COM said, the Lizardians had to place masks on their faces in order to not suffer any inconvenient.

"A Computer Panel is just thirty meters from your position in the same area" the lizardians started looking everywhere.

Suddenly a sound interrupted the Imperial operation, the elites turned their weapons to upwards, the sound came from there, something was moving, the Corporal ordered to quickly finish the operation, the Sound was bigger and bigger, one of the Elites that had a portable sensor panicked suddenly by the sensor readings.

"Sir, many lifeforms coming towards our position, FAST!" yelled, the corporal, ordered the placement of the defensive turret, "draw swords" said calmly to his Lizardians.

The sound began to be heard across all the roof, the Elites prepared, there were at least thirty Elites.

The roof exploded, the place suddenly was crawling with space creatures, travelers of the void of space and eaters of space debris, they were hungry and they could smell the metal from Lizardians armor, a battle started, those creatures were to many, but weak, the Corporal was suddenly surrounded, that defensive turret was making a mountain of those critters.

"This place is infested sir!" yelled an Elite, "there is a hive of this critters in here!"

"Fulfill the mission, retrieve the data and let's get out of here!" yelled Lizbirg as he finished two critters with his plasma blaster and his metallic sword.

The Elite moved toward the panel, as his way was infested with creatures falling like a heavy rain, the Elites, as they tried to keep formation, these critters were separating them, these elites were tough, they killed all alien that wanted them as their meal.

"Tranfer finished!" said the Elite, but went distracted by three creatures that attacked him.

Lizbirg turned his communicator, "Lizbirg to shuttle, we are ready, we are being attacked by critters, we request immediate evac!"

"Copy that Corporal" said the shuttle through the communicator.

"All right Elites move to retrieval position!"

All the Elites then moved across the Hive of critters that kept falling, the shuttle arrived sooner, the Elites came in as they were covered by shuttle inferior turrets, which killed many critters.

The time they were moving toward the Labyrinth, the Elites were resting, these critters simply were claustrophobic in any ways possible, and felt like they were just sinking in a boat in a middle of an cold ocean, Lizbirg moved toward the com panel of the shuttle, transfered all data and said:

"Corporal Lizbirg to Labyrinth, we have completed our mission, I'm transferring data to your computer now..."
