The air was thin, the delicate face of a woman could only be seen in the darkness of the cave because of the hole that came from above. This woman however wasn't ordinary. No. She was clever and she knew of the creatures that had her. She knew what they were. They were Aliens. She chose not to anger them as best as she could. Juliet, that was her name, was quite good at keeping herself calm. She hasn't cried once. No. She had herself composed. She would show no emotions until she was safe. Juliet had come to the conclusion that the only person who could save her was herself. She knew she needed to send a signal out. She was still thinking on how to do that without getting killed. Once Juliet was sure she had an idea, a smirk came across her features for a mere moment before fading. Juliet rose to her feet, the shackles still around her arms and legs. "Hey! You!" She shouted. One creature from above turned his head and headed down towards the cave, stepping in slowly. "What do you want vermin?" He questioned. 'Wow. What a charmer' she thought sarcastically to herself.

"I want to be able to move around, if I stay still any longer I am sure my body will shut down so unless you want a dead human 'vermin' corpse down here I suggest you let me out for a little bit" she stated, of course she was merely lying she was fine despite the lack of air she was receiving. Well by fine she was only a bit dizzy. The creature huffed through its nostrils, clearly thinking over Juliet's words before nodding slowly. 'Great. Step one is done' she thought to herself but made sure that any emotions from her did not surface. She needed to be calm and collected. That was why she was still alive. Well, in this place, to Earth she was indeed dead. But the circumstances surrounding that were complicated. The creature shifted and he moved his long arm, extending the spikes out of his hand, he swiftly let the arm come down, breaking through both shackles although the arms being free was merely an accident.

Juliet gave off a small smile, she moved forward slightly still sticking to the excuse she was using. The creature chose to believe her words and was pacing as it glanced towards her every now and again. Juliet moved her hand in a non suspicious way, towards her hair and flicked it away from her face, just as she did that she reached behind her neck and grabbed a device. Quite quickly she moved away from the wall she was somewhat close to, once she had reached the back of the creature she shoved the device onto his neck. The creature rolled its eyes to the back of his head and fell backwards. "Five or six minutes. Okay. I can do this" she mumbled to herself, grabbing her device that she saw on the creature's holster, she held it close to her as she headed towards the cell door. She punched in a random number, little did she know that that number was going to give her contact with The Enterprise. "Hello? Can you hear me? I need help. I don't know where I am but can you find me? I need help, I've been here for days. My name is Juliet I-" she was soon interrupted b the sound of someone coming to the cell door and grabbing her by the back of her tattered clothing. She soon screamed into the device before the creature crushed it in its claw. She needed help. She hoped they had heard her.
