Act 1 - Scene 3
The redshirts travel almost two miles without complications. They come upon a large crevice in the planet, probably cause by millions of years of erosion thanks to a long dried up river. The crack is almost 20 feet wide, with no visible bottom. Luckily for the redshirts, an old rickety bridge has been set up from generations past.
Generic Redshirt #14 - “Well, that doesn't look safe at all. Hey, Generic Redshirt number 6, you go first.”
Generic Redshirt #6 - “Fine, I will, and nothing will happen.”
Generic Redshirt #6 crosses the crevice without incident, as does the rest of the team. As they arrive at the other side, Generic Redshirt #14 speaks up once again.
Generic Redshirt #14 - “Well, I guess I had nothing to worry about after all. That could have ended ba-”
Before he can even finish his sentence, a giant pterodactyl-like bird swoops down and carries GR14 away. The other redshirts don't even seem to notice.
The redshirts continue on their journey, and only 2 more die on the trip. One slips and falls down a massive crack in the planet, and another disappears for no damn reason. They finally arrive at the mouth of the cave where the Starfleet base is located. Slowly, the redshirts turn on their flashlights and begin their exploration of the cave, in hopes of finding the entrance to the base.
The cave itself looked like any other cave, but with a sickly green glow about it. Giant stalactites hang from the ceilings, like massive teeth getting ready to bite down on the unfortunate explorers. After a few minutes of searching, they stumble upon the entrance to the base.
Generic Redshirt #15 - “I can't believe we made it! And only with 9 causalities. Not too bad, I must say.”
Suddenly, a stalactite crashes down upon a redshirt, killing him.
The other redshirts shift nervously.
Generic Redshirt #15 - “Uh... 10 casualties. Still not too bad...”
Generic Redshirt #12 - “Let's get this door open”
Generic Redshirt #6 - “Good call...” Under his breath “idiot...”
The remaining redshirts open the base doors, and prepare themselves for whatever misfortune is sure to befall them within the depths of the Starfleet base.
