The team wait for someone to show up and spring their trap. They anxiously await someone to take the bait... and to fill the time we get some character backstories and characterization. Eventually one of the officers is killed by the Romulan spies and a jungle monster attacks several of the others. The monster manages to kill two of the squad but they are able to jam transmissions so the Romulan spies can't beam away. The Romulan Bird of Prey fires from low orbit as the remaining security team members try to survive.
This feels very jumbled. We get a little time with the team as they wait for the Romulans to show up, but it all feels very surface level. Like trying to care for a victim in a Friday the 13th movie. The more interesting characters have mostly been killed off. The jungle monster attack feels almost random and the Romulan threat feels far away, even when they show up and kill one of the security officers. Other than Red Shirts are expendable I'm not entirely sure what this is going for. It just feels like a more graphic Star Trek comic.
five out of ten.
