Chapter One - Escape, ContinuedI quickly scanned the western part of the colony, there were no life forms...anywhere. I grabbed J'Renner's arm and started running through the fields in the direction of the west landing. More drones surged around us but couldn't seem to find us as we ran. Suddenly, behind us there was a crash and a huge explosion. It knocked us forward and to the ground. As the dust settled I opened my eyes to find out where J'Renner had landed. He was a few meter's away and appeared to be unconscious. I crawled over to him and pulled out my scanner. He was alive but unconscious and had some damage to his back and head. I quickly repaired the damage and pumped him full of Anetrizine. I was about to wake him when a drone approached. It swooped down and grabbed me carrying me up towards the monstrous ship lurking above. Something from the drone stabbed my arm and I slipped into blackness...
I opened my eyes it was dim and everything around me was fuzzy. I couldn't move very much but I was not restrained. My body ached and my head was pounding. I squinted trying to make out where I was. There was a mist surrounding me and it looked like I was sealed in some sort of pod. Tall shapes with pointy heads lurked outside of the pod just barely visible. There was an explosion not far off I could tell as the flash of light burned my eyes. The shapes looked in the direction of the explosion and took off in that direction. I could see energy discharges like that of a Disruptor or Plasma rifle. More shapes passed in front of my pod heading towards the energy weapons fire. I passed out again the pain in my head sending waves of torture through me. When I woke up again it was bright and my surroundings were different. I felt okay just a little groggy. I turned my head and there he was on the bio bed next to me, J'Renner. I was relieved to see him there. He was awake and resting. He must have seen me turn my head as he turned his to meet my gaze. He sat up and called the Doctor over.
The doctor juiced me with a hypo and ran some scans. "You're okay now, we can move you to some more comfortable quarters." and then looking at J'Renner said "BOTH of you!" He helped me sit up and explained to me that my friend had refused to leave sickbay until I was well enough to as well. A rather stern looking Romulan entered sick bay to escort us to quarters. The Doctor, a rather ominous looking Romulan handed me a pad. I walked to the exit with J'Renner walking behind me. We followed our escort down the corridor and not far for the medical bay to our temporary quarters. He pointed to the first set of doors and motioned for me to enter, then to the second set for J'Renner. I entered but left the doors open and scanned the room. It looked quite comfortable by Romulan standards. There was an attached room for sleeping and hygiene and this main room was spacious with a desk, a table and chairs and a huge couch the followed the transparent aluminum window line. I went into the sleeping area and sat on the bed. Realizing I left the entry doors open I got up and went back to close them. There was J'Renner standing in the doorway. I invited him and closed the doors behind him, motioning for him to take a seat on the couch.
"How long was I out. My memory of the past few hours.." I was cut off.
"Weeks." He stated
"Weeks?" I asked
"Three weeks to be exact" he stated.
He went on to explain the ordeal we went through while trying to escape the planet. He further explained that the Elachi had taken us to their ship and were performing various experiments on us. A task force had been formed prior to that to figure out what the Elachi were doing. He had not been as damaged as I had but was in pretty bad shape. He also said that my memories would come back at some point and I would remember EVERYTHING. He told me the horrifying events that he'd remembered and was prepared to help me through them once they came back to me.
