Who let the Trex out (thex writing challenge)

Posted on Wed Jun 20th, 2018 @ 5:01am by Lieutenant Commander Thex sh'Zoarhi

The Thex had woken up to many things over her short life. Sunsets of a thousand worlds, faces of a lover who would soon turn to hated foes, her fathers boot on her face....

Walking up with her head on her desk was something she often experienced through being chucked to the floor was far less common. Shaking her head as she stood up the andorian groaned as she left her office. What had happened now. " Boss we've ran into a dark matter storm. " yelled one of her men who was desperately checking on the flashing warp core. Thankfully it began to calm as it stabilised though it was clear it wasn't running.

The andorians combadge bleeped with a simple message telling her to head for the bridge. Handing over to her second the blue girl stepped out of engineering.

Her foot went straight own into the murky water that came up to her waist with a sickening fluge. " What the hel....." She said before her mind already began working out what must have happened. She was standing ina pool in what was obviously a tropical jungle. Animals sound echoed in the background and a million insects buzzed around her. Only one thing could do this and to her it was obvious. The holo ammeters must be on the blink due to the storm.

" Computer end program" She said hoping that would still be working. It didn't though before the andorian could do anything a sound behind her made her freeze.

She froze as its massive scaley body rose from the water. All sentient life had a built-in fear of large reptiles. It had been with them since the days they huddled around a campfire with many eyes looking at them as there next meal from the darkness.

She had no idea of the name of the creature that was now looking at her. The tyrant lizard king was from earth, not her homeworld. Even still when it roared she knew she had to run.

Her legs ran as fast as she could running deep into the jungle. It followed it's body smashing through the large branches as if they were tissue paper.

The andorians mind flooded with words that could never be translated as she bolted deeper into the jungle. Branches, bushes and flowers tore at her uniform and her hands and face. Thankfully the adrenalin kept her moving as the big lizard followed snapping right at her heels it's rancid breath hot on the back of her neck.

Her attena moved as they heard a familiar sound. She was running towards water and it was only a few seconds before she realised it's source. A massive waterfall roared in front of her sending thousands of tonnes of water over the cliff. Without any choice, the engineer ran for it with all her might.

Leaping over the cliff her body almost instinctively moved to a diving shape as she plunged towards the foaming water below. The cold water exploded against her body as she hit the deep pool at the bottom. Others might have gone into shock, but the andorian biology prevented her from doing so as she kicked upwards to the surface.

She gasped for air as she moved to the side of the river. A roar indicated the T rex was very annoyed at losing it meal. Thex grinned as she turned around and flipped it the bird as she scrambled onto the rocky bank. Looking around for a way out her blue eyes fell on the door the turbolift.

Scrambling into the tube the andorain slammed her fist onto the console as it began to rise. =^= Thex to engineering don't leave by the main entrance. The holo emmeters are playing one of the programs with a giant lizard it and the safeties are off. =^= She gasped into her combadge. She nodded the thin trickles of blood on her hands. She needed to make a quick stop to get check out.
