From concept to creation

[Progenisis]

As Shereshoy is trying to come to terms with what just happened, she notices the pilot is missing and looks down the now open corridor seeing him completely out of it (high a.f.). Remembering what was happening, she rushed to the pilot seat seeing it was too late to run, as the ship began to dock.

Calais Research Facility


Shereshoy trying to come up with a plan; 'should I try and run? No I saw the fortress nearby I'd be space dust in this freighter', 'fight my way to a faster ship, no they out number me, I think'. As the comms chime she was hesitant but answered "hello", the response was in French. She replied "I don't speak French", then someone said in English "open the cargo door". She replied "yes right away, um where are cargo door controls?" Then a frustrated voice said "stop stalling and open the door or we'll slice it open with a laser." She complies and opens the door. As she's trying to come up with a plan she hears the pilot said "Hello" something interrupted by small arms fire, and then foot steps and voices coming towards her. At this point she's panicking, trying find a place to hide, but now the sound is coming up the stairs, she then turns the pilot seat around, curled up, and tried to makes herself as small as she can. She does an ammo check, gun's ammo count is zero, and she thought 'I only fired seven rounds cheap ass slavers'. The foot steps are now in the room, she hears them report the three bodies.



The marines started moving toward her, she started crying silently, and right when the marines were about to find her, their comms chimed, the leader stopped and answered. He listened, then stepped back and talked into the comms. They waited a few minutes, and she realized when someone started speaking English, the marines were waiting for them. This person said "young lady please come out with your hands up, we do not want to hurt you." Shereshoy had no other choice she put her hands up and stepped out. Seeing the heavily armed marines she started to shiver with fear, they put her in hand cuffs and was taken to a holding cell. As they walked she observed comings and goings of people in labs, and realized this is research facility for god knows what.



Shereshoy sat in her cell for hours waiting, every now again she'd yell "hey any updates". After the 9th time Shereshoy stopped because of a clear threat of violence from a guard. Finally a female officer came and questioned her, asking her name, age, where she's from, and rank.



Shereshoy told the officer "My name is Shereshoy Bal Aliit, I'm 15 years old, I'm from the Colonial Republic, and I don't have a rank." What Shereshoy said made this officer have a worried look on her face. The officer said "Shereshoy how did you get here?" Shereshoy responded with "I don't know, I was arrested on Java Station, I was being given some medical examination, they gave me a shot, asked me to say some words I don't understand, and get in a pod." Shereshoy paused and said "they asked me to get in the pod and I didn't fight them." The officer asked "what happened nex..." but was interrupted by higher ranking officer, he didn't even let her stand up before he started berating her and pointing at Shereshoy.



She stood there until he was done and responded with a rant of her own that scared the other officer, even when he tried to interrupt she wouldn't let him. When the lower officer was done he saluted her, said "yes", and left. The lower officer then sat down and said "I'm sorry about that, but I now know how you got here, and where you should be, but you're lucky that's not where you are right now." With a pause to light a cigarette the officer continued "now unfortunately this is a classified facility, and you can't leave, so we're keeping you here until such time, as you are deemed no longer a threat to the security of this facility." Shereshoy tried to get a word in but the officer left as screamed "you can't do this" as well as crying while pleading "wait I won't tell anyone, I don't even know how to speak French, please don't do this."
