Alien Breed

Prologue: Naomi Adams

Audio transcription:

Hello? Testing. Testing.

I have little time to speak, so I’ll make it quick. He found me, the wretched, alien beast.

The alien you helped create...

All of this is what you wanted, wasn’t it?

Congratulations. How did you know we’d fall for your sick plan?

How did you know he’d take me?

[Muffled footsteps.]

Oh, God. No...

[Inhuman growl.]

Shit. He’s coming. I have to leave.

I’m sorry for everything. I failed the Avalon expedition. Worst, I’ve failed myself. To everyone back on Earth: You don’t know what’s out here. What they’re doing to us…

If this gets leaked to the press, don’t forget our names. We are Starship Tera-Earth 373, the second team to land and die on planet Avalon.

[Door creaking]

Okay. This is it. There’s nothing else left to lose.

He has me cornered.

It’s breeding time.

System Announcement: Welcome to Avalon. Prepare for landing.

Year: 2093

Location: Avalon’s Orbit

We discovered planet Avalon in 2065.

To most of Earth’s population, it was just another rock, floating a million light years away. NASA published a new high-definition planetary photograph every month.

The discovery didn’t make international headlines.

Within a year, it was the number one story. They unveiled more data, information that changed the course of history forever.

The planet’s atmosphere conditions were fit for life. One hundred percent positive. This was a place we could establish a second Earth.

The entire world went through a consciousness shift over that simple, floating green planet.

There were tests, rover expeditions. Crude machines analyzed soil samples. With the facts confirmed and in the public eye, NASA received thousands of applications to arrive and build a base. People were ready to make the journey.
