Spacebourne
Synopsis: The USS Melbourne is under attack. Humans infested with alien parasites are determined to bring the inter-generational ship into the hive.
Space Command had been fighting the Drones for a year. The war was not going well
USS Melbourne under fierce attack
Lt Pam Ayers sat back in shock as she saw the Viper explode. Her husband Mike… obliterated
“Lieutenant!” Captain Max Dreyfuss snapped
“Lieutenant!” he cried again
“Mom?” Sgt Fiona Ayers said shaking her mom’s shoulder
“Huh?”
“Get with it!” Max snapped
“What?”
“Call them in, or I’ll relieve you”
Pam looked to her daughter
“I know” Fiona nodded
“Um…” Pam said and turned to her monitor “Flight Seven Flight Seven!” she said choking back her tears “This is control”
“Flight Seven Leader” Paul Gibson called back
“Vector 9-G-7” she said “Targets acquired”
“Vector 9-G-7. Understood” Paul said
Fiona felt her daughter’s hand grab hers
She looked at her daughter and fought back the tears
Her son Roger was manning guns in Turret 9-A07 near the engine spaces. Her other daughter Susan—she was now one of ‘them’… infected by the parasite she had turned against her own kind.
“Flight Eleven. Flight Eleven This is control” she called
“Flight Eleven Leader” came the response
“Withdraw for refuelling and rearming”
“What?”
“That is an order” she said
“Understood”
She turned to her daughter who was bravely calling in her own flights.
“Collision Alert!” she suddenly cried as the monitors shows a Wasp break through the fighter screens and head straight towards their ships
“Where, Sergeant?”
“Control” she said
They looked up at the screens as a small ship—the Wasp-type head straight towards them
“Shields!” Max called
Suddenly metal shields flew up over the windows giving them extra protection
There was a large crash and a small explosion
“Damage?” Max called
Lt Angie Smith jumped up from her seat and ran to the door “It’s hit us just 10m aft” she said as she ran out
“Report!” Max called
Suddenly he got a call from the Commodore up in the command booth
“Sir?”
“Report”
“A collision just behind us” Max said
“What was the purpose to that?”
“I don’t know, Sir” Max said “It wasn’t an explosive ship trying to cripple us”
Moments later Angie returned. Her dress torn open and her stomach bulging
Behind her two hive troops came running in
Pam looked at Angie
“You’ll be added to the collective” Angie smiled as she opened up a small canister she had in her hand
The two hive women opened up canisters too
‘Anestazyne!” Pam cried alerting everyone to put on gas masks
She jumped up to grab hers when she was over-come
The three women infested with parasites watched as the humans, men and women fell unconscious about them.
One hive-soldier threw a disk to Angie
She caught it and went over to where the Lt lay slumped in his seat. With incredible strength she grabbed him and heaved him out of his chair
She sat down and began punching in commands and then a small access panel opened. She pulled out a disk and crushed it and then placed in the one she had been given
She closed the panel
As she was doing this one hive woman was tearing at a woman’s uniform, exposing her sex
The hive woman spread the woman’s legs and then she squatted above her.
Her vagina opened up as a slug-like parasite slithered out of her womb and squished onto the floor.
It had two small antenna that twitched.
It could smell the woman’s vagina and knew to head towards it
It pushed against her and slowly struggled to move into her
Moments later the woman gasped and sat up
“I am hive” she announced as the creature inside her connected to her controlling her.
Two other women were infected and they too, no longer affected by the gas rose up and joined the others
Then they each grabbed another woman, easily housing one over a shoulder and carried them away
As their vessel left the ship all the fighters were redirected—or rather miss-directed as the infected program sent out false information.
Guns dropped power. Two missile batteries fired on the other.
There was chaos
No one noticed the vessel leave with twenty women on board… half of them infected.
Pam woke in a detention cell. She was naked. She had been shaven… she looked down at her bare crotch
She felt her stomach. She was relieved she hadn’t been infected.
The parasites lived within their wombs, nurtured buy their female hosts, just as a baby might be.
And they were totally obedient.
“Mom?” Fiona called
Pam noticed her daughter in a cell across the access way.
Her daughter was also naked, and shorn
“What’s happened?”
“We’ve been taken prisoner” Pam said
“What’s going to…?” Fiona began
“They mean to enslave us” Pam finished the sentence
“No… we….”
“We need to fight them” Pam said
“You can’t fight us” Susan said, appearing in the walkway
“Susan!” Pam gasped
“Sue?” Fiona cried “Is that you?”
Pam noticed her daughter first… her swollen stomach. The ‘baby’ she carried inside her alien, and controlling
“You will be added to the hive” Susan sand “Both of you”
“You are the enemy of all that’s human and decent” Pam spat—“Your kind killed your father”
“And Roger too” Susan added
“Roger?” Pam cried “You took Roger?”
“He was captured when the ship became disabled, mom” Susan said “We have no need for men… He was disposed of”
“Dispose….” Pam cried “You killed your own brother?”
“We have no need of men, mom” Susan smiled
“Don’t worry” she continued “You will understand once you are infected”
“I …. I don’t want to be infected” Pam said
“You’ll have no choice” Susan grinned “But don’t worry, once you’re nesting a Master you’ll understand how perfect your new life is”
“How could you?” Fiona cried “You’re destroying humanity”
“We’re improving humanity” Susan said “No discord amongst us. Everyone working in harmony towards a common cause”
“You are evil” Pam added her voice
“And the sex is amazing…” Susan smiled “Any one of your sisters will be willing to pleasure you, and you’ll want to pleasure them…I’ve come so hard I almost fainted”
Susan turned to her sister “Don’t worry, Sis” she smiled “You will be infected too. No one will miss out hosting a Master”
“Like mom said… I don’t….” Fiona began
“You’ve already been prepared” Susan smiled pointing to her sister’s shaven slit”
Suddenly Susan’s eyes fluttered. She opened them and they were pitch black. “Drone Susan connected to the hive mind”
“Yes…I understand” she continued
It was as if she was having a conversation with herself, only it was with tens of thousands of other infected women.
They were all of one mind at that moment.
Her eyes fluttered again and when she opened them they were normal
All now that made her look different was her ‘baby bump’ otherwise she could be any other woman.
“What just happened?” Pam asked
“I was connected to the hive” Susan said “Oh, I don’t mind telling you… it’s not like you can pass that intelligence on…”
She laughed
“I’ve got a special treat for you Fiona”
“Go away”
“You’re going to be transformed into a queen” Susan said “Heck, I might even be serving you”
Just then another woman entered. Pam didn’t recognise her
“Is this the one?” she asked Susan
“Yes”
“Let’s take her to mutation”
They opened Fiona’s door
Fiona cried out for her mom to help
“Leave her alone!” Pam protested
“Mommy” she cried as they grabbed her
Just one of them would have sufficed to overpower the human, but they were going to make sure
Fiona was dragged into a room where she saw the most amazing, terrifying sight
What looked like a giant insect, but out of where the head should be was the full torso, head and arms of a topless woman.
It was like she was half woman, half bug… half giant bug
The bug part of her was as big as a hippo
Her eyes were totally black as she was in constant communication with other hives
She clicked as Fiona was brought in
Fiona screamed in horror
The hybrid creature wasted no time in approaching her
From its belly a large proboscis suddenly drew out and engorged
“Please, Susan” Fiona cried
She pissed on the ground as she trembled in terror
“You’ll be worshipped by thousands” Susan smiled
She was carried on the spot, till she had her back to the creature
The creature loomed up over her
She felt something pushing in between her legs, pushing towards her sex
“Oh, God! Noooooooo!” she cried as she realised it was going to penetrate her
It was painful
She was a virgin
And it was large
It pushed into her breaking her hymen
Suddenly the female part bent down, grabbed her, the mouth opened and fangs launched into her throat
“Nooooooo” Fiona screamed
The creature began feeding on her blood
At the same time the proboscis started pumping in a dark creamy coloured goo
“Please…..” she begged on more time
In effect her blood was drained and new DNA-enriched liquid pumped into her.
They release her
“No, please” she whimpered. Her voice raspy and full of despair
Pam was dragged forth next. She was doubly horrified by the hideous beast-human she saw
It was her daughter’s body protruding from a large insect
What had been Fiona now clicked as Pam was brought in
“Oh my God” Pam cried “What have you done?”
“Fiona is now a queen” Susan said
“What?”
“We have Queens, and drones” Susan smiled “I am a drone” she continued “You will be one shortly”
“And your sister?”
“She is a goddess” Susan sighed
“She has passed on all her knowledge of human defences to the hive and has come up with a brilliant plan” Susan said “You will carry an egg back to Central Command” Susan continued “And you will infect multiple women at once”
“I will never do that” Pam said defiantly
“You will have no choice”
Suddenly the Fiona-creature lumbered forward
“Please, nooooo” Pam now had a chance to realise the situation
The USS Hebron found the life-pod from the USS Melbourne
Pam Ayres was given a medical and found to not be infected
She was taken to medical and a team came there to debrief- or rather interrogate her on her survival
Pam gave a scripted account and satisfied their preliminary investigation.
Pam waited that night and then rose from her bed
She used a code to enter a female dormitory
She accessed environmental controls and released anestisene into the dorm
All the women were anesthetized
Moving to the centre she removed her clothes and there she squatted as if to open her bowels
A small brown ball dropped out
Then another, then another
Out of her vagina she laid a dozen eggs
These were masters in an under-developed stage
She took each egg and placed it at the feet of the slumbering when
She took an egg and pushed it up inside the first woman’s vagina. She pushed up deep
The egg would later hatch inside its host—and she would never have been aware she was now host—till it could control her
She went about her business infecting each woman in turn
Satisfied she went back to environmental controls and purged the room of the gas
She took her clothes and returned to the midi-lab
Twelve new recruits would be in the hive in a matter of days.
She was most satisfied
It was the start of the fall of mankind
