Captain Ko

Let's try this, interactive stories, I called it back then. So, basically, collaborative story telling. Everyone writes two or three sentences, and then someone else continues.

Captain Ko stood on the bridge of his space ship. His mission of space exploration just took an unexpected turn. After escaping an attack through a wormhole they found themselves in an unknown area of space.

The space ship had crashed into some purple area with the texture of cheese. Carefully and cautiously, Captain Ko disembarked. The purple ground bounced lightly under their feet as he made his way to the edge.

"I wonder if this ship will every fly again?", captain Ko spoke, "One thing is sure, we'll be here for a while. But where is here?"
The team followed the captain into the strange environment. One of the team members, the youngest of the lot, curiously about the bouncy ground, jumped up and down.

While this man was happily jumping up and down, a swarm of giant mouse-like aliens has arrived at the crash. Woken by a smell not much unlike burned emmentaler, they were confused. Confusion changed in bewilderment when they noticed the ship that was made from something completely unlike cheese.

[LapisLazuli]

When they saw the jumping man, they started jumping too. Shrieks of laughter filled the air. After a while, one of the aliens, the hairiest of all, stopped jumping. Sweating and still gasping, it tried to drill its tail into the ground. While the tail drilled deeper and deeper, the ground slowly turned olive green. "A$#LW@!" it shouted to the other aliens who were still jumping.

Kaptain Ko, astonished about the events was pretty confused now and opened his universal translator. While it only works one way, it could at least give an indication what was going on. The repeated shouts of "A$#LW@!" were translated into a concerning message. It said ...

[wokste]

"Stop jumping or you'll awake the giant cheesewyrm"

Unfortunately, the crew ans well as most of the aliens were kinda hypnotized and continued their fun but deadly activity until after the ground started shaking. At that point, survival instinct kicked in and they ran away from the epicenter, cheese crumbling below their feet. A grumpy yellow dragon 100 meters tall climbed out of the pit, clearly unhappy it had been woken. However, it also didn't seem to have noticed the crew or the mouse-thingies, for now.

[LapisLazuli]

But it did notice the ship. The dragon sniffled at it, then sneezed, and along with that sneeze, a huge flame set the ship on fire. Minutes later, all that was left of the ship was ashes.
Terrified, Captain Ko and his crew stared at what once was their only hope to return to the earth, then to the dragon, then back.

Big tears rolled down from cap ko's cheeks while he loudly screamed: "That is it! He sat down silently for a bit and then gatherd the crew. "We need to capture and equip that dragon with a mindcontrol module so we can travel off this planet." he explained to his crew. "anybody got an idea how to trap it?" he asked.

The mind control units were on that ship, and it all burned down! It all burned down.... who was still on that ship? We need to do a head count. Who is still around? Are there any telepaths amongst us? Anyone who could control a dragon?
