Chapter 2

On the ship

Their ships where so much more intracate then any human ship any of us had ever been on. instead of straight edges and defined doors the ship was shaped in an extremely organic way with round doors and hallways with man ridges along the walls and celings. something else of note was how much bigger everything in their ships where. like it made sense with them standing about 8 feet in hight on average but it was still such a jarring thing to see and be walking around in. I felt like a small child again barely able to reach the counters. One of their foot steps was twice as big as ours so as they walked we were practically jogging after them. The captain instructed us to follow him as the rest of the crew split off to do who knows what. He was giving us a tour of the ship concluding at the cockpit and navigation centre.

“You will be pulling your weight around here. This isn’t a free cruise!” His deep voice rumbled with intimidation. Raising an eye brow I crossed my arms looking up at him.

“We are all trained and ready to work. We have been on ships for almost 6 years now. We know what we are doing.” He glared down at me.

“What are you ‘qualified’ to do then?”Synth stepped up first.

“I am mechanic along with my partner” gesturing to Tracker who stepped up with her. The captain nodded his head a little. Clicking some buttons on his watch opening up a door to our left. A yautja walked through.

“This is ka’tauk you to will go with him. He is our mechanic and will be keeping an eye on you.” Tracker and Synth nodded and headed off with the sand-coloured yautja. The captain turned back to us. “And what about you to?”

Ash stepped forward “I am a medic I know human anatomy and a very small amount about yautja anatomy but I am hoping to learn more. Names Ash by the way” the captain gestured down the hall to the opposite way the others had left in.

“3 doors down on the right you will find the med bay Tis’raf will be in there. Go see if you can help out at all.” Once he had left it was just me and the captain. Looking down at me I couldn’t help but shift my weight nervously. While my friends were with me I was safe but now alone with this hulking man I couldn’t help but remember the horrible stories that had been told to me about this species. Taking a deep breath I give a small closed lip smile. Showing your teeth was a sign of aggression for many different species so we had gotten into the habit of not letting our teeth be seen unless among just humans and family.

Not able to stand the quiet any more I spoke up. “I am a pilot sir. I have flown my own ships in the past and been co pilot to many a great man. My call sign is sprout if you want to research my record.” He gave a small nod while thinking before finally spoke.

“You will be with me then! As captain, I am the pilot. You will be my co-pilot but by NO means does this make you second in command understood ?!” I quickly nod my head.

i gave him a quick nod. This satisfied him as I was dismissed to the living quarters we had been shown before. A large room with 8 smaller rooms branching off of them. The doors had been locked and could only be opened with a bio scan. It took a bit of trial and error but I did eventually find my room. Opening the door there was no bed or no bed in the human sense. There was a small pit in the floor filled with pillows and blankets like a nest. There was a desk in the corner of the room along with a dresser built into the wall panels that could be opened with a light touch. Along with other features that would be useful later. Our few belongings had been brought up the rooms. Unpacking i started to decorate and place some of my nicknacks on the desk. All moments from past adventures.

I loud thud came from my door. "SPROUT THIS IS YOUR ROOM RIGHT?!!!!" tracker yelled through the door.

"YAAAA" getting up I walked towards the door. The minute it opened Tracker, Synth, and Ash let themselves in closing the door behind them. We all ended up sitting on my bed eating the instant make meals that were accessible within one of the panels on the wall.

"Apparently they don't eat communally." Synth said reading off of a holo board. "it has something to do with it being a vulnerability but it says that they do it around family so who knows."

"I mean at least we get easy access to food and honestly it isn't half bad," I say taking a bite out of my synthesized sandwich.

As we continued to eat and hang out the soft rumbling of the ship started to get a bit loader.

"We are probably gonna take off soon" Ash noted

"Ya my guess is a PA system type thing or whatever high-tech thing they have on this ship will call us" Tracker pointed out

"true," I and then Synth said

"Probably" Unbanouce to us the Yautja had realized that they ship-wide broadcasting system was only able to be understood by them because it would translate to any of the human languages and as they tested it the Translator's watches wasn't picking up the sounds. This sent them in a search for the humans but when Ka'tauk and Tis'raf couldn't find their respective humans by knocking on their assigned bedroom doors it kind of sent the ship into a panic.

Where had their Humans gone??

Authors note:

Hi, ya'll. I hope you enjoyed that chapter. the next chapter is going to be in the captain's POV. Something that hasn't been clarified in the story YET is that Tracker, Sprout, Ash, and Synth are not their real names. these are just nicknames and call signs they got previously. Hope y'all are Enjoying this cause I am having fun writing it!!!!

Chapter 1

Alien encounter

We sat in the lobby of the interspecies communications office, waiting to be assigned to the Crew and ship we would be part of. Synth and I had taken the only two chairs in the small room while Ash sat by my feet, fiddling with the wiring on his translator watch. These watches were mandatory for us to be able to communicate not only with each other in our native languages but also to understand the yautja of our future crew.

Yautja spoke a language based mainly on clicks and rumbling sounds in their chests. While humans could learn to understand the language, they would never be able to speak it because they could not produce the right sounds. A small spark lit up from the old watch, causing Tracker to jump back, smacking his arm lightly.

"Dude!" Acting as if he had been burned by the tiny spark tracker rubbed his hand.

"THERE!!!! GOT IT!!!" Ash exclaimed loudly in German but through my translator, it came through as perfect English if not a bit synthetic sounding.

Synth nudged me gesturing for me to look down at the "all about Yautja" pamphlet She had been reading.

"it says that the women are the more dominant in their species and are like way more intimidating"

"Have you ever seen one?" I asked

"Not in person but I have seen a ton of pictures of them" Synth was playing with Tracker's hair when we saw a man in a military standard-issue uniform and a man in the typical researcher get up walk through the door and into the small room.

"Group..." There is a pause as the researcher looks down at his digital clipboard "6 you will be meeting your new crewmates in a matter of moments but I am here to set some rules and give some advice before you board the... " looking down at his clipboard again. " The Angler. "

We got to our feet waiting for the man to continue talking. There was a buzz of excitement between us. I rocked back and forth on my heels tucking my hands into my pockets.

"The Rules... As you know this is a diplomatic mission so there is a way you must conduct yourself. Because if you insult someone of importance you could cause all-out war and we can't afford that happening got it!!!"

there was a long pause as the military man scowled at us only getting a few quiet and confused "Got it." in return.

"three main rules.

1.If you are ever around a yautja pup DO NOT touch it or threaten it of even talk about threatening it!! They are extremely protective of them and will kill you on the spot if they even suspect you have a thought like that about their children."

"wild you even need to say that as a rule. Thats fucked up" I whisper to Ash earning a Nod in agreeance.

"2. There will be a room on the ship called a trophy room. DO NOT go into it! That is where they keep the skulls and bones of the beasts they have killed and it is extremely important to them.

3. DO NOT challenge a Yautja to a fight! Even if you are not a Quote 'Honorable kill' They will still KILL YOU!!! you will not win this fight."

We all stand there in silence as he finishes before the military man checks his watch

"Best not to keep them waiting... Let's Go!" he says in a harsh tone. Starting to lead us out of this small waiting room into the large ship hanger. As we approached a round ship with a large light hanging from the top front, you could tell where the ship got its name.

"The Angler:"

Getting closer we could see 3 large Yautja standing outside of the ship battle-ready. Some had their arms crossed others stood with one hand on their weapons and the largest of the group stood in the middle glaring down at us as we approached. He was clearly the captain. OUR new captain. They all looked to be male by their builds and the stories I had heard about the females made these guys look like any other soldier. We all stood there a moment taking each other in.

My eyes were locked on our new captain he was definitely the most colorful of the group. while all of them had skin that was soft browns and yellows but his was a striking green color. With yellow spots and stripes all over the skin, I could see. He spoke in a loud rumbling voice of clicks and chittering. Which was instantaneously translated to us.

"This is MY ship and MY crew. I am your Captain as of right now and you will follow my orders. Understood?" it wasn't even a question. it was a firm statement that we were going to understand one way or another. We bristled a bit at this statement all remembering our last boss.

"can't be worse than Jimmy... so why no" Tracker shrugged followed by a few laughs from myself and Ash.

"True," we said following the yautja who hadn't even addressed us or introduced themselves on the ship.

This will be fun!

Deep Space Fish

Chapters and story summary

In deep space, the space station called The Nautilus for its shape and size had just started the first interspecies Crew program involving humans. Humans were the most recent addition to the galactic stage. This crew was going to consist of an already established base yautja crew who had been flying cargo together for years. Picking up odd jobs when on long halls to keep the engines running and the crew fed. The only reason they even volunteered for this program is the substantial payout given to ships accepting human crew mates. Teams of 4 humans who had worked together previously were assigned to a crew together cause both the human and yautja governing bodies were worried about adding in just one human to the crew. As expected there were not many applicants to this program. The history of the two groups fighting definitely caused some attention. Especially not too far in the past yautja used to come down to earth to specifically hunt humans. But the program still had a few applicants. A small group of friends who had grown up on Earth together (a rare thing nowadays) and had joined a crew together decided it would be a fun experience to apply for the interspecies program.

They Joined a Yautja Crew on the ship called The Angler not knowing the hijinks and potential romances that awaited them...
