Reply to comment by jpb103 in [WP] A medical robot on a long space flight has tried everything. Makeshift defibrillators, CPR, injecting adrenaline, but it's no use. The crew have died. As a last ditch effort, the robot downloads all information on "necromancy." by tehweave
"Suggestions, comrades?"
The blast door to the bridge of the alien vessel held firm. If it remotely resembled the one that had just locked behind them on the other side of the large room they now shared with one hundred shriveled alien corpses, it would be at least a foot thick and made of solid steel.
"I... I don't think it'll be a problem, Captain."
The First Officer, with his newly awakened necromantic abilities, closed his eyes. When he opened them they shone a bright red.
"Al sathool el abad. Hasheyal nei cal vool!"
He pointed at the blast door, then blinked as his eyes returned to their normal deep hazel.
"We're going to want to stand back a bit."
The trio took a few steps back as the blast door began glowing a bright red and even from their distance, the heat coming from it was intense.
"Fantastic plan, first mate! Commander Suck, please clear the bridge once the door has melted."
"Sweep subroutine engaged."
The door dissolved into a pool of molten metal and Commander Suck leaped over the threshold into the bridge. They were charged by an alien wielding a curved sword, but this seemed to not inconvenience the Commander in the slightest. They picked the would be attacker up with their exoskeleton arms and ripped the alien in two pieces while simultaneously mowing down seven armed aliens with its mounted blaster rifles.
The remaining seven aliens threw their weapons to the ground and covered their eyes, presumably in surrender.
"Executing liquidation subroutine."
"Belay that order, Commander. First Officer, please establish a connection to the Polaris computer and have the universal translator application installed on myself."
"You got it, Cut Cut."
The Captain bowed his head for a moment, then walked over to what appeared to be a command terminal. He pointed to the nearest alien, and Commander Suck walked over and shoved it towards the Captain.
"Greetings, alien enemy! Please speak so we may establish a dialog."
"Gefracko? Bedlambia gop ooblau-bastard! Why would I speak to a murderous machine?"
The captain shot the alien in the head.
"That'll do. Commander Suck, you may proceed."
The former vacuum relieved the remaining enemies of their life energy, transferring it to the First Officer. Captain Cut Cut began working at a terminal, and an image appeared on the large screen at the end of the bridge.
An image of Earth.
