The figures stepped forward, reaching for their hands and snapping cuffs round their wrists. They then piled into lifts in a way that could be described as comical were it not for the weapons all too plainly clasped in their hands. Two men stood behind Spock and Uhura raising guns to their foreheads. The door of the lift once again opened, revealing again the gaping member of the bridge.
Kirk rose to his feet, grimacing at the situation at hand.
"What do you want?" His voice echoed throughout the room.
"No pleasantries, Kirk? Long-time no see. I was wondering how Ava was."
Jim swallowed slowly.
"You damn well know how she is, M. What. Do. You. Want?" He said. His voice was laced with anger. The crew stood stunned as the exchange went on, not quite knowing what to do.
"Straight to business it is then. Well Jimmy boy, I want you."
"I'm sorry but I'm spoken for." Kirk said smugly, winking.
"Kirk." M warned.
"What do you want?"
"No more questions" The man snapped. He threw Jim the end of a long rope.
"A little present. Tie it around your neck. Now."
"Uh, sounds fun and all but I don't swing your way man." The members of the senior crew were unsure whether to laugh or cry at the situation unfolding.
"Jim. I'm losing my patience." He gestured toward Uhura and Spock, indecisiveness flashed across Jim's face as her summarised his options. He quickly tied a loose knot and slipped it over his head.
"Tighter." M said.
Jim adjusted it.
"I'm surprised you survived so long in Star Fleet, you're not exactly an exemplary example of following orders."
"Yeah well-" Jim spluttered as M yanked the rope and dragged him towards the men.
"You always were a pretentious, fucking brat. That was for a Ava" M hissed grasping Jim by the hair and aiming a phaser at his head.
"Now," he said directing his speech to the crew. "These three are coming with me. Any of you try and resist and we'll see how well a Vulcan can hold up with a bullet through his brain."
The bridge crew exchanged nervous glances as the turbolift doors slid shut and remained silent. The captain was missing, the first officer was compromised and the acting captain taken hostage. So far the maiden voyage of the Enterprise was unexpected to say the least.
