[ WP ] An alien race encounters the most terrifying predator imaginable . A lone , unarmed human .

 We had flown the empty interstellar space for more than two years when we came upon the wreckage. It was clearly alien in origin and was constructed entirely out of metal unlike our biomechanical star flyers. What we assumed that was its thrusters were completely broken, most probably destroyed by some of the chaotic rocks flying around the sparse asteroid cloud we too were trying to navigate through. 
 
 Our first pod master proposed that we would fly closer and dock to the mysterious ship to find out if there would be survivor spores or information pods on board. The notion was quickly vibrated through gas and then accepted. The possibility of adding high quality metal parts to our ship ’ s hull were also something that some us more fund of electromagnetic and electrical communication were highly anticipating. 
 We docked the strange ship and after quick scan for the usual life signs we sent a boarding party. When we stepped on to the ship we both saw and sensed it was a strange ship in deed. Its gas was almost purely nitrogen with some oxygen and carbon dioxide in it far less that in ours. 
 
 There were Standard amount 7 quantity of micro organisms floating on the gas but their species composition seemed far too chaotic to be a part of any structured biological network. Second pod handler thought that they could be the remnants of the ships food supply, but if so, then any one on the ship surely had starved long time ago. 
 On the back of the ship we found large chunks of formed inanimate organic matter. First we thought it would be the spore of a survivor but for that it was far too moist. Maybe something had happened and the voyagers on board did not have time to dry themselves for prolonged inaction. 
 
 To our amazement there was nothing else clearly organic on board ( how does this species travel with so low tech! ) so we started to disassemble the ship. We attached most of the hull into ours and stored what we thought was cargo, strange boxes of metal and some unknown material, to our own cargo space. 
 Then we left to continue our flight to the mating star. After a week some of the crew proposed on electromagnetic that we should open the alien boxes. We were after all a mating party so having a few precious gifts at our destination would do us well. The notion was carried through gas and accepted readily. No one wanted a fiasco like the Anshun, 400 standard units ago had happened. 
 
 
 When we opened the first one there was suddenly a gush of cold gas of the alien atmosphere coming from the box. There were also strange emissions of electromagnetical radiation on many wavelengths. We also sensed a large surge of electron current going through the box. Startled we stepped back to see an figure rise from the box. It was similar to the inanimate organic matter that we had seen on the ship but this time it was even more moist and definitely not inanimate. It turned its upper appendix towards us and started to cause huge vibrations on the air. Clearly seeing that this alien creature was either afraid of us or trying to give the first note of the Ascarian salute we tried to answer and calm it with mild electrical currents send through its body. In hindsight this was probably a mistake. 
 
 
 It jumped from the strange box and started to attack us ferociously. It ripped of our appendixes and killed others flailing them around its body. Every mild electrical shock that we gave to it to make it calm down only seemed to infuriate it more and it hit us with everything it got. Soon all but ten of us were splattered on the walls of the ship. I alone got to the airlock to send this message and spore myself in the hopes of rescue. The last electromagnetical messages I got from my comrades told me the thing was opening more boxes and releasing more of the things and by the way it vibrated the gas when it attacked us they thought it calls itself a foock. Whatever they are these foocks are a danger to us all!
