Day 1.
I’ve made it on board the human trading vessel! They didn’t detect my presence, and I’ve managed to smuggle myself into their engineering bay, and disguised myself within a cluster of cables!
My small, serpentine body makes me indistinguishable from a thin, grayish cable, and the Humans won’t notice my existence until it is too late.
I have heard rumors about the human home world, and if the rumors are to be believed the humans have never encountered us guteg before.
Once we reach Earth and I’ve spawned offspring, we’ll infest every corner of the planet before Humanity knows what is going on.
It will be wondrous! A whole world to devour, and a unprepared native fauna with no response to our toxicity and spawning speed.
Their world will be ours, like so many before it.
Day 2.
We’ve finally left the world where the Humans had been trading. They still haven’t detected me, and the warmth of the active cables have provided me with a very nice habitation space for the journey.
I feel the eggs stir inside of me, But I do not let them pass out of me. Not yet. There’s no food on the ship, so if I birth now my children will die from starvation before we arrive.
I wait. I have to wait.
It won’t be long now.
Day 3
I sneaked out of my hiding place today, and I carefully searched through the ship.
It’s enormous, but it’s to be expected from a huge species such as humanity.
It took me most of the day to just make my way from the hiding space to the cockpit and back again!
I also found out what the Humans are transporting.
The entire cargo bay is full of toxis Gue’vea fruits placed in stasis!
What could the humans possibly use Gue’vea fruits for?
After all, it’s one of the most poisonous plants that I know of.
Maybe they’re intended for weaponization?
Maybe choosing the human home world for infestation wasn’t the best idea after all.
Well, too late to have any doubts now.
Day 4
Last day of the trip now, I heard the Human captain say.
His voice is thunderingly loud, and it reverberated throughout the entire front half of the ship.
Well, the great size of the humans will not matter when I get to burrow myself in fertile earth.
They’ll never see us until its’ too late.
I’ve also found my way to the rear of the ship now, and I prepare to slink off once the ship lands and the rear bay opens.
I am so hungry.
Tomorrow, I will feast.
The ship touched down after a descent that made my whole body tingle uncomfortably.
For what felt like ages, I waited for the rear to open up, and then it finally did.
I felt the thunderous footfalls of two humans come up the rear ramp as I slithered out.
They seemed occupied with talking to each other, and I avoid detection completely.
I touch the ground.
Damnation!
I’ve landed on rock!
I must find earth quickly. The burning radiation that the earth sun gives off has me superheated far too quickly. What kind of hellish part of the planet have we landed in?
I see a tree.
It’s a tall, slim tree with large, flat leaves stretching out in all directions from the top of it.
I slither as fast as I can, but the disgustingly uneven rock that makes up the ground scratches my smooth belly.
Suddenly, I am wreathed in cool shade.
Ah, it couldn’t have come at a better time, I thought, before the deafening cry of some animal fill my earholes.
Suddenly, I am lifted into the air, pincered in the beak of some foul avian abomination!
I squirm in its’ deadly grip as it flies higher.
I must get to the ground! I must burrow into the earth and lay my eggs!
I reach up, and my tail-stinger contacts with the feathery hide of the beast.
I inject my venom into it.
“Take that, monster!”
It would surely be enough to kill any creature, and I rejoiced as it dropped me from its’ beak.
Then I noticed I was falling.
And I fell far.
The ground rose up to greet me.
The seagull didn’t know that it was the worm that had stung it. It was surprised to see that there were no bees nearby when it had dropped the worm, but then it flew down and landed next to its’ prey.
”Mine.” it thought as it gobbled down the dead worm, before it lift into the sky and landed on top of the Miami galactic starport sign, and watched the juice corporation transportation shuttles drive by.
Not food it figured as it spread its’ wings and flew away, disinterested in the direction of the sea.
It was still hungry.
