U$n&k%s! POV

Finally, it took about 12 minutes to reach back to the mother ship slower than if I had to use light speed, but I have light speed sickness, so that would just be worse.

Receiver: Ay U$n&k%s! Is that you.

U$n&k%s!: Yes, it's me, can you clear me so I can dock, have a medical emergency, and need to give an urgent report to headquarters.

Receiver: Okay, just some routine checks and questions.

Have you had any encounters with any space diseases or parasites. Negative

Are there any illegal items onboard like drugs, rare and dangerous elements, or stowaways. Negative

(Bla, bla, bla, 10 mins later)

Receiver: Okay, all clear, welcome Captain U$n&k%s! and ship to the eonia eleftheria. May the universe be kind.

U$n&k%s!: May the universe be kind.

I forgot how long the docking guards could be with all the questions and fancy procedures. It was the eonia eleftheria, the largest exploration and scientific craft in the universe home to thousands of different alien species. A collection of many diverse intellect, strengths, and talents. It was basically the focal point for all technological advances in the universe. If you've got it, it probably was invented here. As I docked my ship and exited, I grabbed the cage and placed it on a hovercraft, setting it to go to my room.  As I watched it float away, I worried about the little creatures inside, but before I found out what they were, I had a lot of things to clear up from my schedule. First things first the ship needs to go to maintenance and to be sterilized, any unknown desieses can be very dangerous but not fatal and if they do find anything they will send it to my office since it is also my property. As I booked my appointment for the ship, I headed to hq, where I would get treated for the sickness and might as well get a full body check. I hopped in an elevator and headed to the upper floors ,restricted to the founding members of the ship, while looking at the security cams in my home, monitoring the cage on my horizon band, a new holographic device that my sister begged me to upgrade to. Seeing as it got there safely, I made sure all the doors were locked so it wouldn't go anywhere and get hurt since I took it from its resident planet, it probably would be skittish and frightened when it wakes up. Satisfied with the situation, I muted the band and stepped off the elevator into reception.

Kalia POV

Where am I. Everything looks so futuristic and white. Personal memorabilia was scattered around maybe clothes and writing materials, but they all look so foreign to me anyway. Who was it or what was it that brought me here. Many questions flooded my mind as I went into another panic attack. As I hyperventilated in a corner of the cold cage, Nero came close, whining at my unusual behavior. He licked my face as I pulled him close, breathing in his comforting scent and petting his coat as I stabled my breath. Charlie also came close, and we three shared a silent minute together. I don't know if this thing would be kind to us and to hell with waiting and seeing I have to take responsibility for dragging my kids into this mess.

I examined the cage. It was small but enough leg room to move around. The bars couldn't be damaged by human technology (me trying to break it) but they were wide enough for Charlie to fit through. It was a wonder he didn't escape by now with his curious nature. I attached my phone to his collar  and connected his leash. The phone was to see around the room, so it was on record, and the leash to pull him back up to the cage and lower him down. I gave him a treat and lowered him down, connecting the end to the cage.

Charlie's POV 

Meow, meow meow.... (I'm not doing that)

10 min later

I pulled Charlie back up, took the phone and checked the footage. Fuck its a singular room no accessible exits but at least no aliens. I guess escaping will have to wait but causing chaos doesn't, he... it won't mind right. The least I could do to retaliate from being kidnapped all of a sudden is make this place a mess. What do you say boys I turned to Nero and Charlie petting their heads why don't we create a mess. 

It might be just me trying to distract myself from the absurdity of the situation that I just can't yet get myself to believe, but i have to do something. I can't just hand over my fate to the unknow so lets make the most of my miseries with a small high. 

Looking into my bag I found my multi tool kit that had a grappling hook in it. We where quite far from the other walls but there seems to be a corner table i could throw it over there. Around the strange statue, art piece, plant what ever it is seems heavy and skinny enough for the grappling hook to wrap around it. I could pull the cage closer and escape, you have done it again kali genius of the century ha ha. Lets do this. 

3rd POV 

Kalia threw the hook over and over for a few times until finally with a satisfying clang and swoosh it tightly wrapped around the fixture. Nero and Kalia pulled and pulled  and in no time the cart slowly drifted to the table with a final grunt and taunt pull they did it. Charlie swiftly walked over to the new found land space to explore the new sights and smells while Kalia collapsed on the floor sweaty and tired. The seemingly silent room was suddenly filled with a loud ringing and other machinery sounds startling Kalia to her feet and urging her to find a way out of the cage. She took off her  bulky clothes and anything that might prevent her from slipping past the bars which were all promptly thrown over unto the table. Ungracefully as it was she shoved and pushed, forcing her body to contort between the bars like an armature acrobat figuring out a human jigsaw puzzle but she did it though her skin was rubbed red joints sore and muscles fatigued begging her to rest but she pushed on. Getting out of the cage was now seeming to be her easiest task as Nero now had to do the same but how he was huge and not at all flexible. As lights started to come on one by one and the dim space lit up Kalia's anxiety rose as it seemed like time is running out what she didn't know was this was an automatic system that was set to the owners schedule though the owner might not stick to it this system will routinely do as it was programed. 

Kalia's POV

What do I do now, how do I get Nero out? Shit I didn't think this far. Come on Kali what do we do. Wait a sec this cage its not connected to the floor but I don't think I can lift this its huge and probably very heavy. Well I can't leave him here so I guess we got to try. Wait, Wait, Wait are you trying to kill us. No but what should we do. Check the Bars again there must be something you can do. Fine.

TO BE CONTINUED... 

~From the author~ Hi, what you thinks gonna happen, I hope it turns out well for kali I can't tell how it would end but maybe she gets superpowers or she will just shock everyone by being human.
