10: Soap and Butter

Now that we have the needed supplies, we can look for a planet on which we can land and complete repairs on this ship. Using the Ph'for maps, I believe I have found one suitable. The Ph'for called this planet "New Midula" and did not mention any life living there. It has many flat plains on which we could land, and many resources we could use the ship's power to mine. We land there- *WARNING* Unknown vessel detected. Promiximity alert. This is very bad... *WARNING* Unknown tractor beams have locked onto the hull. What should I do? Kill anything that boards...I'll study the

alien vessel's design and try to identify it based on the Ph'-f*#RY#*(WFDJKFHKLNCM_ __fjefK*#@YR*(FYCDNCMXSF#)(*%%(R#(*&D--DF(@#+_________________SYSTEM FAILURE Inhabitants of this ship. You are charged by the Midulon empire with violating Midulon space and disrupting the operations of 3 of our kind. You will now allow us to transport you to our ship or you will die. There is no escape. You cannot escape our tractor beams. We have firepower far superior to yours. Lyragon? Your weak and unintelligent computer has been silenced. You will come with us now. <<<<<<<<<PREPARE FOR TRANSPORT>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You are now aboard the Midulon vessel Str'kratyl. You are our hostage/prisoner. You shall most likely die during your time here. Go down the hallway behind you and down the lift at the end. There, you will find your cell. More instructions await you there, Don't try anything, weakling, your meager strengh is worth nothing in this place. You are being watched always.

Since we have not encountered your species before, we wish to research you. You will pass through three tests. Each will be a test of endurance, strength, and intelligence. If you fail to pass any of the 3 tests, you die. If you succeed in passing all three tests (no one ever has) we will keep you alive for study, and see if your species is capable of serving us. You will have some time to rest before the first test. That time starts now. We will not take your weapons, as they are of no danger to us, and you will need them during the challenges.
