Prologue
In the middle of the night, three lean bodies jumped from the 50ft cliff. When they hit the ground, they ran for cover in the cave. Two of them disappeared inside and the third never made it…
Chapter one
McCoy watched as Captain James Kirk walked into the room followed by a very depressed looking Chekov.
"Hey Bones. The kids been bugging me all day about seeing her." Was the captain's greeting.
"Dammit Jim I have better things to do than to deal with you right now." The chief medical officer growled, frowning at something he was reading in his hand.
While the captain and the doctor argued, Chekov could see her sleeping…at least that's what it looked like. There was something about her that kinda scared him, like he was looking into the cruel face of a hungry lion. She didn't look like she was able to sleep…it seemed too peaceful for her.
"Excuse me doctor," The seventeen year old said in his heavy Russian accent. "But what is wrong with her?"
"She's just cut up a little but it doesn't make sense…"He trailed off glancing at the sleeping teenager.
Nobody knew how she got there or why but she was there and unconscious. McCoy had just made sure she would be out for at least a day. He looked at the report the machine had given him.
It can't be true…but we just got the machine fixed…Scotty said it was fine.
"What's wrong with her? Bones?" Jim asked impatiently.
"I don't know. The machine's fine but," the doctor dropped his voice. "She should be completely asleep for the next 24 hours. The report says that she was talking and doing some thinking. That's impossible if she's knocked out. Also," McCoy paused with a worried glance. "Her brain is wired in a very strange way. It seems she's designed to kill."
"Designed?" Chekov asked, his brown eyes huge.
"Yes. She has tough skin, strong light bones, enhanced vision, some kind of transmitter inside of her, muscles made of some unknown material, and several other 'modifications'. She looks and acts like a human but she is defiantly not. I have no idea what she is now but I believe that she once was human."
In the other room a very drowsy and pissed teenage girl opened her eyes and grinned a razor tooth smile. Taki was going to be pleased.
