The beast stood then its mighty weapons ready,its tail moving back and forth its screaming echoing in my mind ,it was day two of fighting we had landed on the world we thought was unexplored and uncharted upon landed our ship was immediately attack and we lost three of our crew members,Ashley Westward,Damin Holmes and Collin Triptree . Then the  beast was unusually taller then we were and it had a body like a slug that lived on Earth,two eyes a mouth but no teeth .

It was apparently intelligent ,had also space travel knowledge as well and knew about us,on the other hand we then too knew nothing about it .I then had commanded a crew of the spaceship Destiny then its mission rocket to the next solar system alongside our own and start star charting our universe ,then the  expansion of the human race had begun .Earth had then become overpopulated the expansion was a necessary thing .

I left then my wife then and two daughters behind, our world was at the brink of another world war,leaving to some was cowadice but I will defend my crew and say it was necessary not cowardice what were nine lives compared to that of billions . Our then world needed breathing room .Some suggested like we did our pets spade and neutered people others were against that idea they kept repeating children were the future giving birth was a necessary evil .The beast then stood before us mighty it was .It was ready to strike but so were we,war it was .
