Scarlett was at work, it was a normal day, nothing interesting had happened. She worked in a large office building, with roughly 36 stories. Quite a large building as far as Scarlett was concerned. She was very proud of her achievements, however when someone asked her about them she just ignored them. She was not the sort of person to show off. Anyway, her day so far was very boring, a normal day. Or so she thought… behind her a small rift opened, and out came Dave. Dave tapped her on the shoulder. “Hello Mrs Scarlett, I need your help.” She turned around with a shocked expression on her face. “Who are you? How do you know my name???”
“There’s no time to explain, you need to come now.”
As the rift opened further Scarlett and Dave were sucked in, as the darkness surrounded them, Scarlett let out a faint scream… the office fell into insanity, the office workers jumped out of their seats and ran as fast as they could out the doors. Screaming and yelling at hi-pitched tones. The rift opened up, and Scarlett found herself in a zoltan cruiser.
Explosions hit the hull with tremendous force and the engines buckled and bellowed. Scarlett had no idea about zoltan shielding though because she was from 2009… not 2189, which was the current time she was in. However, Dave was nowhere to be seen.
“Hello Scarlett, we’ve been expecting you”
Scarlett was (as you can expect) a bit shocked when two tall, luminescent lime creatures started to talk to her. These creatures were Zoltans, a peaceful race of traders and workmen . But Scarlett didn’t know this. So in the usual manner, she screamed… and then fainted.
She woke up in a medical bay, a very unusual medical bay. There was a huge array of different medical appliances ranging from knives to high-powered lasers. “Few… for a second there we thought you were dead! Sorry about that.”
“Where am I???”
“You are on the SS.Electro, the pride and joy of the main Zoltan Law enforcement fleet. Don’t worry we won’t hurt you, in-fact we need your help, do you mind manning one of the turrets.”
“Sure, err…where is it?”
“As you leave the medical bay its strait forward, and again, thank you.”
“No problem.”
“What do you mean by “no problem”?”
“Well, I mean that- never mind”
“?”
“I’ll just… go then”
“Yes… that’ll be best”
“Ok…”
Scarlett ran down the corridor as fast as she could, as she did huge bolts of energy hit the side on the ship, the entire ship went black !
“We’ve been hit, Ion cannon to the starboard hull! Damage report!”
“Life support offline Sir! Weapons failing, we’re sitting ducks!”
“Scarlett! Are you alright?”
“I think so… what happened?”
“We took a hit from an Ion cannon, shut our life support down. If we don’t get out of here were all going to suffocate to death… and that’s not a very nice way to die…”
“Right then… we better get out… do you have a way out?”
“We did… until we used it to get you here…”
“WHAT?”
“Please, don’t shout… we have very sensitive hearing.”
“I DON’T CARE! JUST GET US OUT OF HERE!”
