Prisoner
Lieutenant Commander Annabeth Chase
Chief Science Officer-USS Athena
Annabeth pulled her pulse phaser pistol from her belt and moved behind Percy, seeing as he wore the heavy body armor. The Captain, on the other hand, raised his rifle while the rest of their team took up a circular formation with Isabel, Frank, and Hazel in the middle.
Suddenly a dozen figures appeared, some of them rising up straight up from the swamp. Annabeth paused. They looked humanoid, and from what she could tell also very human. Two dozen young human woman...... "Not again!" Dax groaned, sounding more exasperated than worried.
"Drop your weapons, Outlanders!" one of the women yelled.
Percy shifted his aim and pointed his weapon straight at her face. "Stand steady!" Percy ordered quietly.
"Don't try to call for help! You are being jammed. If you do not drop your weapons we will stun or kill you," The woman yelled.
"Captain, I don't like the balance of power here. Perhaps we should consider their demands," Dax told him, nearly casually. "You are the only Commando here, the rest of us have no, °don't get caught alive° codex to follow."
Annabeth said nothing, although she quietly agreed. However, she didn't have the courage to be as blunt with Percy as Dax was.
"Very well, stand down," Percy ordered.
Commander Piper Mclean
First Officer USS Athena
Piper stared at Shey. If Piper hadn't known her for so long she would have picked her to be just some other Vulkan. Cold, distant, and skilled at suppressing her emotions. However, Piper knew that Shey had been adopted by humans when she was a baby and had been raised on earth. In fact, Shey had gone to high school where she had led the Cheerleading Squad. Piper also knew that Shey was a huge sucker for romantic Comedy and was secretly obsessed with that old but still popular franchise called StarWars and Game of Thrones. She had even dragged Piper to a convention. While in blood she was a full Vulkan, in heart she was still very human.
Still, when she wanted to Shey was fully capable of adopting the traits Vulkan's were so famous about.
"Piper, we don't have all night. Are you going dropping out or are you going to Raise?" Silena asked.
Piper glared at the Councilor. "I am raising Lieutenant Commander. Your turn! Oh, and just so you know it sis. If I lose this round you are giving me twenty push-ups and I want your nose and boobs touching the deck. Once again you are in luck because you boobs are so damned big. When they had me doing pushups I needed to go down way further."
Silena sniggered, "Yes, Ma'am. I'll tell dad about this though when we get back. You aren't supposed to give me a hard time because my boobs happen to be bigger than yours."
"Ladies, as much as I enjoy the topic of boobs I would really like to get on with the game," Beckendorf announced.
"You know, I for my part agree with the Chief. Even if he doesn't want us to know that he has been sleeping between two of those boobs. You know, the bigger ones," Leo joked.
"Oh shut up," Silena snapped and punched Leo's shoulder.
"Yes, Ma'am," Leo replied.
"Helms man, did you just talk about my sister's boobs in a degrading way?" Piper demanded, glaring at Leo.
Leo froze, "I apologize, Ma'am."
Piper ruined it by grinning. She elbowed Leo in the ribs, "I'd kill for those." The comment earned her a glare from her half-sister. "At least we now know why you are such a good counselor. By now half the male crew is probably in love with you."
"Commander, these comments are inappropriate," Silena complained. "I am a senior officer, not the on board prostitute."
Lieutenant Commander Annabeth Chase
Chief Science Officer-USS Athena
"Captain?" Annabeth asked nervously.
Percy sighed and lowered his rifle. "Very well. Stand down!"
"Drop the weapon," the girl ordered.
Once Percy dropped his rifle the rest of their team followed suit. "Okay, let us talk this out. I think we got off....." The girl in charge cut him off by blasting him in the chest with an energy bolt, knocking him clean of his feet. "Percy!" Annabeth yelled and knelt down next to him.
The Starfleet officer groaned and sat up. He glared at the woman. "Body armor bitch!"
Before she knew it another energy bolt hit Dax in the back, sending her down and suddenly the sensation of a thousand volts shot through her body. Darkness took her consciousness.
Captain Percy Jackson
Commanding Officer USS Athena
When Percy awoke again he realized that someone was using his shoulder as a pillow and was snoring away peacefully. On the upside that person was Annabeth and she was kinda cute. Even their wrists were chained together.
On the downside, he, along with the rest of his group were sitting in what looked like a good old fashioned cell with a steel door. "Morning Captain," Dax greeted him dryly from his right.
"Not again," Percy complained and glanced at his companions. Apart from himself and Dax everyone was still unconscious.
"So, you finally got what you signed up for? Stuck behind enemy lines with a pretty girl?" she joked and nodded at Annabeth.
"This is a really bad time," Percy complained.
"Oh please. No better way to pass the time as prisoner than some humor and have a blond sleeping on your shoulder," Dax said and started fussing with the chain that shackled her to Isabel.
"These things have good old fashioned locks. Luckily I should be able to pick them. Maybe we can overpower them," she suggested.
"Hold your horse's. Maybe I can find a diplomatic solution," Percy muttered and Dax sniggered.
"The Commando wants a diplomatic solution? This is truly a strange galaxy?" Dax joked and then fell silent when the door opened again.
A brunette, followed by two other armed chicks in black body suits entered the room. "You are in charge?" the center chick asked.
"I am Percy Jackson, Captain of the Federation Starship USS Athena. These people around here are members of Starfleet and part of my crew. What gives you the right to attack and hold my crew," Percy demanded.
"What gives me the right?" the one in the lead asked angrily. "You humans enslaved my people. I have ten billion reasons to just kill you!"
"Then why are we still alive?"
