Episode seven: the wall of blood
“Captain Alice!” James shouted from behind the door that marked the entrance to Alice’s room.
“What do you want?” She asked.
“We’ve detected a large life form roaming the corridors near the incubation room” Alice opened the door and walked out to meet him.
“What could it be?” She asked
“We think it’s a reaper, but we can’t be sure”
“Well if it’s near the incubation room then it could find and destroy the egg. Tell Saw, Kai and Louis to come here immediately, and make sure they arm themselves”
A few minutes later, the group were running through the corridors towards the incubation room. When they got there, they were met with a shocking sight.
“It’s destroyed, the incubator, and the egg.” Louis muttered.
“No, the egg isn’t destroyed, it hatched, and the baby tore apart the incubator in an attempt to get out” Kai told them.
“So, does that mean that the life form we thought was a reaper could actually be what hatched from the egg?” James asked.
“Quite possibly”
“Well let’s go outside and find it!” Saw shouted. They went outside, only to be greeted by a wall turned red by blood...

Episode six: Eat Tail
It had been weeks since crew returned to their base and began to incubate the egg. They hadn’t even left the base, to intent on waiting for the egg to hatch, and eventually, it did. One of the biologists who had been tasked with checking on the egg on a daily basis walked into the incubation room, and met a mysterious sight.
“What the hell happened here?” He asked himself as he looked around. The incubator had been completely destroyed and the egg inside had been reduced to a broken egg shell. He looked around, trying to find who did this. But then an idea came to him: perhaps the egg had hatched, and the baby had destroyed the incubator in an attempt to get out. Suddenly, there was a screech, a horrible screech, like someone scraping their fingernails across a blackboard, but much louder. An immense creature appeared, at least five metres long, and pushed the man towards the wall. The creature raised its scorpion like tail and stabbed the man through the mouth, pinning him to the wall. The creature stared at his lifeless corpse, and pulled its tail out of his mouth, causing his body to slump to the floor. It turned to the door, and walked out into the base...
Right, here’s a description of the creature in Oblivion:
It is five metres long, with a body shaped similar to a megatherium’s, but with black scales instead of fur. It’s head is similar to a shadowmane’s (check the genesis 2 trailer), but black with glowing red eyes. It’s mouth is full of jagged teeth, and it has a long, scorpion like tail. Hope this was helpful, please can you leave down name suggestions for the creature, having a name for it would make writing a lot easier.

Episode five: The Return
Kai and Saw went back to the control room and sat down at their seats, but Kai was keeping the egg in a bag which he was holding tightly.
“Right, we are about to enter hyperspace, so, punch in the coordinates, James!” Alice ordered. James entered the coordinates into a console, and they entered hyperspace, blue light flashing around them, when the light faded, they were in a new area of the lunar biome, with the Astrocetus pod nearby.
“YES!!” James shouted, “it worked!”
“Yes of course it did, I designed the HRSE engine perfectly” Louis said.
“Big headed moron” Saw whispered to Kai, who only just managed to keep himself from chuckling. Luckily, Louis didn’t hear any of it. Then, Kai decided to announce his discovery.
“Listen up, when we were hit by the meteorite, it broke directly into the hull, Louis found it, and gave it to me, but when I tore it apart, I discovered an egg inside of it, I have taken blood samples from the embryo, and it is like nothing I have ever seen. I think we should go back to are base and try to incubate the egg.”
“This certainly sounds like a good idea, we would do anything to discover a new species, so we should definitely do this.” Alice said, “punch in the coordinates James!”
“Alright then” James entered the coordinates, and they entered hyperspace, when they emerged, they were back at the base, a huge fortress built onto a huge chunk of floating rock. They were home.

Episode four: Saw
The door opened and a big, muscly man wearing tek armour walked in.
“Hello, Saw” Kai said as the man approached him.
“Hello Kai” he said back, “what are you doing?”
“Examining blood from this egg” he responded.
“Sounds interesting, is it interesting?” Saw asked, clearly not interested, but just trying to get him to talk.
“Yes, very interesting, I was just about to take the egg to the incubator when...” Kai was cut off by a booming voice from the speakers:
“Attention all crew members, we are about to enter hyperspace, please come to the control room right away!” Kai and Saw looked at each other, and then ran down the corridor to the control room.

Episode three: The Egg
“It’s a damn rock, what use could it have?” Kai asked.
“Dunno” Louis replied.
“Then why did you bring it to me?”
“Dunno”
“ARE YOU JUST GONNA SAY DUNNO TO EVERYTHING I SAY!?”
“No”
“Ok, so go away and leave me to examine it.”
“Alright” Louis walked out of the room, and Kai turned to the rock.
“What secrets could you hold?” Kai asked the egg as he got out a chisel and began to scrape small chunks off of the rock. Eventually, after a lot of chiselling, Kai revealed what was hidden inside the rock.
“What the hell... it’s, an egg!” He exclaimed, lifting up the egg holding it close to his face to examine it. The egg was a shimmering purple, and fully found, not like a dinosaur egg. Kai moved the egg over to an examination table, and began drill into it with a small, precise drill. He eventually broke through the shell, leaving a tiny hole. Kai picked up a long, thin needle, and slowly lowered it through the hole, into the egg, and into the embryo. He smiled as he extracted blood from it and put it under a microscope.
“Incredible!” He exclaimed as he observed the cells.
“KAI!! What the hell are you doing!?” Shouted a voice from outside.
“Damn it!” He shouted, and turned to the door.
Oblivion
Episode two: The Storm
The hover skiff veered to the side, causing the crew to slide across the floor.
“What the hell is happening!?” Deputy captain James shouted as he staggered to his feet.
“We’ve been hit by a damn asteroid!” Kai shouted, “we’ve got a hull breach in the storage room!”
“Send someone to fix it while I get the hover skiff back into position!” Alice ordered.
“Who shall we send?” A crew member asked. All the crew turned to Louis, who sighed and walked out of the room.
Louis walked down the corridor towards the storage room, wearing a radiation suit and carrying welding tools. Eventually, he reached the room, and walked inside, there was a crack in the wall, and air was shooting out, taking well needed oxygen with it. After a lot of hard welding, Louis fixed the crack and the oxygen levels began to go back to normal. As he turned around, he spotted something, a rock, the one that broke through the hull, knowing he should take it to Kai to be examined, he picked it up and walked out of the room.
Oblivion
Episode one: The Expedition (check reaper for my other story)
A modified hover skiff flew through the lunar biome, trying to keep up with a pod of Astrocetus. Inside, the crew were preparing to jump into hyperspace.
“ATTENTION!!” Captain Alice shouted, “get into your seats, we’re about to jump into hyperspace, it’s a risky task, as hover skiffs aren’t designed for it, as you all know. The only reason we can do it is because of the HRSE Engine and the roof above our heads.”
“But, captain”. Chief engineer Louis interrupted.
“Yes Louis, spit it out.”
“I wouldn’t recommend jumping into hyperspace yet. There’s a space storm coming, that could destroy the hover skiff and kill us all of it reaches us while we’re about to jump.”
“Very well then, we’ll wait, after all, we’ve got tracking systems on the lead Astrocetus, so we can always find it I’d we lose it.”
“Captain Alice! We’ve got incoming meteorites, they’ll strike any second no...” Kai (lead biologist) shouted from his seat infront of a large scanner, just as a meteorite struck the hull, sending a huge shockwave through the ship and knocking everyone of their seats...
Genesis part 2: Harper
Kira sat on her bed, she rubbed the metal on her rifle as she was cleaning it. A noise hit the wall like a cannon ball, she jumped up and stared at the wall in disbelief, she ran down the hallway and opened a door, Harper wasn't in her stable, the door to her pen looked like it had been ripped apart by something big, too big. She stepped along the thatch flooring until she was at the edge and could see the outer wall of her base, the wall that had been struck, blood stained the wall, dripping down to a lifeless form of a raptor. She saw this and ran to Harper, she cried for only a moment before the ground shook, and shook again, and again. Something was coming, she pulled out her rifle and loaded it with bullets, but then it stopped, and she saw nothing, but she could feel breath on her face. It was right in front of her.
