Don’t piss them off? Too late for that, the Chief of Security thought. The alien humanoids marched quickly towards the team. The team instinctively fired their phaser rifles, but did so carelessly now, because they were scared and they had trouble aiming while the aliens were walking so quickly.
“Fall back! FALL BACK!” the Chief yelled.
The team quickly learned that the humanoids had yet another trick: they could transport away quickly from the line of fire. The two weaved left to right and left again, completely confusing the Starfleet team. Within seconds, one of the humanoids was within arm’s length of one of the security officers and grabbed his rifle from him. The humanoid squeezed his grip on the rifle and proceeded to crush it with his bare hand. The officer looked at him in complete fear, and felt himself being thrown fiercely against the wall by the alien’s impossible force.
The Chief thought quickly. He saw another vulnerable area around its knees and fired his rifle at close range. The humanoid collapsed onto the injured knee, and if he had a mouth and a vocal cord, would have screamed from the pain. The Chief immediately ceased the opportunity when it was momentarily stunned, and swung his phaser rifle like a baseball bat squarely on the back of its head. The humanoid fully collapsed to the ground and the Chief immediately fired at the Annecta organism that occupied its skull. It vaporized in an instant.
The other humanoid had already rendered the other security officer completely unconscious, and was making his way towards the helpless medical assistant. The Chief carefully aimed his rifle and fired at its vulnerable areas around its throat until it fell back onto the floor. Before it could stand back up, the Chief raced up to him and firmly put one foot on his chest and fired a straight high-intensity beam across its neck until its head was fully severed. The medical assistant sighed in relief, but the Chief knew that this was far from over.
The last alien humanoid that stood near the warp core coiled its right arm, ready to launch something onto it.
He was going to throw the organic explosives.
