Chapter Text
I woke up in my bunk on the CNS Enduring Freedom to blaring alarms and gunfire. Shit, the weeds weren’t supposed to get here yet! The last news from the front had been several systems away, we would’ve heard if they’d advanced any further!
This wasn’t any time to dwell on that, though. I grabbed my pistol and headed out the door. I still had time to get to the Captain’s quarters and save him and the rest of the Fleet from the weeds!
I sprinted to the Captain’s quarters, slamming into corners and pushing past other crewmen, until I was right at the door. I opened the door, hoping to see my Captain waiting at his desk to wipe the black box and start fighting the weeds. What I saw, however, was my Captain slumped at his desk, fast asleep while a ten foot tall plant xeno accessed the ship’s black box.
I pulled out my pistol, and fired until I couldn’t fire any more. It did nothing. I was well and truly fucked.
Aww, hello doggy! Don’t worry, I’ll get to you soon, little puppy!
God, why did that feel good? I should’ve been feeling nothing but rage towards this disgusting weed, but all I could feel were butterflies in my stomach. That, and my gun dropping from my hand as vines coiled around me.
Don’t worry doggy, you’ll be going to a good home!
And just like that, I passed out.
