Part 4
Aliens POV
The large secure door slid open as I approached, there were no guards, no access mechanisms,
the door was coded to base DNA; she could not escape. I entered to see her still prone form lying
restrained and partially blindfolded by the monitors around her on a surgical bed.
I walked to the other side of the room and busied myself with some other work, preparing for
what was to come while I waited for the others to arrive, only moments later I heard her begin to
awake.
As I turned around I saw that she was squirming and writhing, trying to escape; she was
screaming and yelling and crying out in a language I did not understand, her voice muffled and
subdued by the mask she now wore, although, with my enhanced hearing I could make out the
words she was forming whether I understood them or not, she was most likely screaming for aid,
or an explanation, they all did.
As I took great effort to stay out of direct line of sight with her the doors opened again and the
first of the others arrived. She walked over to us.
"Is it her?" She asked, her voice free of emotion. I nodded.
She made the small trip to the surgical tray and returned almost immediately with an injector, our
guest now had an unobstructed view of us for the first time, at seven feet tall we are not the most
aesthetically pleasing species to look upon, with dark course skin, large fangs and spikes at our
elbows, our four black eyes and red pupils make us very intimidating.
As her body went limp we were relieved to see that our sedatives hadn't killed her, after all, with
such an unusual physiology we could not be certain that our medical techniques would be safe
for use on her. We could only hope the memory drugs had the same effect on her as on the others
before her.
"Make the preparations."
"Yes ma'am." I hated being a junior research assistant, left to do all the work and get none of the
credit, but what could I do. I quickly went about setting up our cover story for our guest when she
finally awoke, quickly preparing to leave this god-awful planet.
We had finally found someone who could be the person we had been searching for, only time and
countless tests will tell.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt and pity for the creature before me, I had seen the
techniques used to verify the authenticity of this woman, and I would not enjoy what was to
come.
It would not be long before her friends came looking for her, we would have to leave, and soon, I
must hurry. Soon our ship would be far away from here and we would not have to worry, it was
always the same, we always had a way to get away unnoticed, and it always worked.
