Chapter 1
“Come on…where are you?” said Dek as he looks at the computer screen.
It’s been almost three months flying around in space, trying to find his brother, Grak. He was a Bad Blood, wanted for murdering his clan leader. The two brothers had fought many times on different planets.
“Aha!” shouted the yautja. “Found him!”
He touched the screen and pressed a few buttons. The screen shows a huge planet. Dek pressed another button to see the status.
“This world is nearly covered in forests, deserts, mountains, swamps, plains, rivers, and jungles. Just like my planet. Nearly 43% of it has cities or villages.” he said to himself. “I better bring my weapons just in case if I bump into anyone with guns or spears. Computer, set forth to the planet and find a place to land there.”
Dek gets out of his chair to get his weapons for his arrival on the planet.

Somewhere, at the snowy mountain regions of the planet…
A huge, dam towers over the river and mountains. Nearby the dam, there’s a sign with a symbol of like looks like a bottle of water with spider legs on it. The words, ‘Sekto Springs’ are written below the symbol.
Inside the dam’s facility, a wolvark security guard was asleep on the controls when the radar starts beeping. The guard woke up with a start and tries to find out what’s going on. He looks at the radar screen and quickly grabs the phone.
“Hey Sekto,” said the guard.
“What is it?” said a voice that sends chills down the guards’ spine.
“I’m picking up something from the radar.” the guard replied. “It’s not one of our ships and it’s heading our way.”
“If it’s not one of our ships, destroy it.” said Sekto.
“Yes sir!” the guard replied.

“Now where’s my shutter gun?” the warrior said as he went through his trunk. “I know I put it in here…There it is!”
Dek picks it up and places it on one of his gantlets. “Now I got my stuff, I’m ready for…”
Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the ship, sending the yautja flying to the floor. “What the pauk?!”
He gets up and goes to the control panel. “Computer, onscreen!”
The screen lights up and shows an image of the inhabitants shooting at him. Another blast shook the ship again.
“Computer,” said Dek Shen. “Get us out of here!”
But the computer didn’t respond.
“Paya c’jit it,” cursed the alien. “The second blast took it out. Looks like I have to drive this baby by myself.”
He gets onto the chair, straps himself in, and grabs for the wheel/handle. He pulls away from the dam and head towards southwest of the mountains. Before he could get away, one of the guards aimed their torrent guns and opens fire. The spray of bullets struck one of the engines, causing it to malfunction. The ship started to smoke.
“This is getting from bad to worst,” Dek muttered to himself. “I got to land before the engines die out.”
The ship started to fall faster than ever as Dek tries his best to dodge the trees and other objects.
The last thing he saw on the screen before he blacked out was the trees.
