Act 1 - Scene 2

Act 1 – Scene 2

After very little preparation or any kind of mission briefing, the Starship beams down the 17 redshirts to the planet. Naturally, 3 redshirts were lost while transporting, and another redshirt transported in and somehow fused with a rock, and died quickly. Of the 14 redshirts left, none had any kind of military training or even the most basic survival sense. To make matters worse, the Starship “accidentally” beamed them 10 miles for the abandoned base. As the redshirts gather their remaining men, the begin a brief conversation.

Generic Redshirt #12 - “Damn those senior officers, always making us look bad. Bastards.”

Generic Redshirt #8 - “Look at this fucking planet, why the hell would Starfleet build a base here?”

The planet is a desolate rock. The surface of the planet is nothing but dark green rocks and weird blue trees. The landscape is scarred with what seems like war marks. The wind blows slightly and kicks a blue-green dust into the air. The dust floats into the green sky, absorbed by the probably toxic air.

A single redshirt is unlucky enough to inhale the dust, and promptly dies.

Generic Redshirt #15 - “Noooo! Not... uh... that guy! I loved him like a brother! DAMN YOU SENIOR OFFICERS!”

The other redshirts put on small breathing apparatuses.

Generic Redshirt #8 - “Man, did the survey team even test the atmosphere of this planet? For fucks sake, this could have been a toxic atmosphere. Also, I can't friggin believe I just had two speaking parts right next to each other! It must be my lucky day!”

Bright orange lighting strikes and kills Generic Redshirt #8, he disintegrates in seconds.

Generic Redshirt #3 - “What a loser. Alright, who's in charge here?”

The redshirts looks amongst each other, perplexed.

Generic Redshirt #6 - “Did they even assign a leader for this away group?”

Again, confusion waves over the redshirts.

Generic Redshirt #6 - “God dammit. Fine, I'll lead us. Get your gear together, we're leaving now. Let's get to the base without any more causalities.”
