Sirens blaring warning all passengers that there are an unknown species onboard the ship. The passengers push and shove to get to the escape pods. I got shoved to the dirty ground. I feel wetness on my hand it's...BLOOD!
Where did it come from? What are this unknown species?

Passengers scream with horror while being dragged into the ventilation system. Between the panicked passenger's legs, I can see a black, scaly tail swaying back and forth while tearing the passenger's heads from their shoulders. It pounces on the terrified passenger next to me, the slimy black creature rips the unfortunate passenger's throat out, fresh, vibrant red oozes out of his neck. I'm frozen with fear unable to move, my body completely shut down in fear. All I could do was watch the blood splatter turning the eggshell white walls to ruby red. The creature observes me, it slowly approaches me. All of a sudden I get dragged into the old, dusty vents. It was pitch black but the creature was more like a shadow than a physical being, the only way I knew it was looking at me was the white eyes with a slight blue hue that stood out against the darkness.

The unknown species assessed the data on humanity, the more it read the more conflicting it was, it was killing for sport, using its razor-sharp fangs to rip out organs.

I feel an agonising pain in my stomach like someone stabbed me 3 times and felt like they were was twisting the knives. Moments later I notice that the unknown species is drooling on my face, I was sure it was the end but then I wake up my vision was blurry. What happened? Am I one of them? I look down at my hands to see black scales growing on my skin.

Screaming for help but no one can hear me while roaming the ship my friend helps me on to an escape pod. I try my very hardest to hide the slimy, charcoal scales that are taking over my body. While we are travelling through the deep midnight blanket called space something clicks in my head, I want to kill! I need to kill!
