Chisstober: abandoned city and blood-sucking species.

Trigger Warnings: mentions of injuries, blood, blood-sucking creatures, and death.

Obbic’rysta’leo was sent on a mission to get information about a weapon supposedly being built.

She didn't receive many details but she was more than willing to guess it was one of the many other species in the Unknown Regions.

As she and her team approach the planet Obbic’rysta’leo notices an abandoned city.  Looking to her Navigator she orders that they land nearby that abandoned city.

“Are you sure ma'am?” The Navigator asks and Obbic’rysta’leo nods her head.

They land approximately 20 yards from the city. As they leave the ship she looks at the area and decides that not everyone should go.

“All right, I want three people to stay with the ship, everyone else comes with me,” Obbic’rysta’leo orders. And the three to volunteer to stay behind are Irizi’sabel’leo, Boadil’ukas’zahn, and Chaf’rey’adikus,

As she and the others walk away from the ship. She has a sinking feeling of dread in her stomach. She pushes the feeling aside. “Focus on the mission, we need to get that weapon so I can study it, and make sure we know how to deal with it if we ever need to,” She comments to herself in her head.

As they enter the city it was becoming night, and the feeling that they are being pursued starts to build up. She checks and everyone is accounted for.

Sighing she prays that her mind is just playing tricks on her.

“Ma’am!” Ufsa’rist’ide calls out and she runs over to check on them.

“What is it?” Obbic’rysta’leo calls as she approaches them she sees the tall tell signs of dried blood, a lot of it.

“What in the...” She starts when she hears Mitth’ie’nobel  screams out

Turning around she sees that Mitth’ie’nobel is gone. She looks around the area and calls out his name but gets no response from him.

As they continue to look for their missing comrade she finds his body near a building with a sign that says “Undertaker,” she calls for the team medic Plikh’usha’lily.

As the rest of the team arrives, she realizes that Clarr’oby’neal, is missing. As Plikh’usha’lily examines the body, Obbic’rysta’leo can’t help but feel as though they need to leave.

“It appears that he died due to some form of blood loss,” Plikh’usha’lily explains, which causes Obbic’rysta’leo to feel uneasy.

“This can’t be happening? How am I losing men so quickly?” Obbic’rysta’leo wonders to herself as she looks around and sees that there are only 2 people left in her group.

“People are going missing we need to stick together, I mean it!” she orders but one person seems to want to listen to her.

“Ma’am, we’ll be fine no need to overreact.” Dasklo’rio’neal behind her says. She turns to glare at him.

She shakes her head. “We are sticking together, that’s an order,” She orders stiffly and Dasklo’rio’neal just shrugs his shoulders.

Sighing, she looks at Dasklo’rio’neal who since he joined her crew has been acting as though he should be in command.

As they walk Obbic’rysta’leo looks behind her and sees Plikh’usha’lily is slowly falling behind.

“Hey, Dasklo’rio’neal we need to slow down,” She calls but instead, Dasklo’rio’neal runs off.

“If you want us to stay together catch me,” He shouts and Obbic’rysta’leo just growls.

And before she can give chase Dasklo’rio’neal suddenly is screaming bloody murder.

Both ladies run and find that he’s gone.

“What do we do?” Plikh’usha’lily asks and Obbic’rysta’leo just stands there in shock.

“We need to leave, forget the weapon!” She orders and Plikh’usha’lily nods her head in agreement with Obbic’rysta’leo.

As they run the bodies of their comrades start showing up.

First, it’s Dasklo’rio’neal with a horrified look on his face.

Then it’s Clarr’oby’neal who also has a horrified look on her face.

They continue to run when suddenly. Plikh’usha’lily screams out “Just keep running Commander!”

She even doesn't turn around she just keeps running. And as she runs for what seems like hours she sees the city limits.

And there on the ground is Plikh’usha’lily but again she looks like the others.

Just when she gets to the edge of the city a blaster bolt grasses her lower leg, causing her to limp. But she makes it outside the city and continues to limp till she loses conscience.

Waking up she area that she is on the Steadfast.

“What happened? My team, please tell me I wasn't the only one who came out alive?” She pleads with Eli who gravely shakes his head.

“Crystal we only found you and the small team that stayed to protect the ship,” Eli says and she feels horrible.

“Why didn't they listen to me?” She asks Eli who in turn shrugs his shoulders.

“I couldn't tell you,” Eli says and Crystal starts to cry into his shoulder.

“The ascendancy has decided’ to mark that planet as too dangerous, to make sure no one goes there again” Ar'alani says composed.

“Obbic’rysta’leo, You are to give me a full report of what happened down there, when you are fully recovered,” Ar’alani orders which she can only nod her head.

She remembers what happened and it will probably bother her for a long time.
