*whispers* sorry for the wait
The Droid ship. Of all things, the goddamn Droid ship. I mean, it could have been placed nicely in the toilet for god's sakes. I let out an unwomanly grunt as my sister and I rounded the corner of the Enterprise. Several crew members of the starship could be heard a couple paces behind us, their voices echoing off the titanium walls. I didn't have a single clue where we were running to but anywhere but behind us was ideal and recommended.
Eilynn gripped the handle of the silver weapon, eyes focused on the sliding door not too far ahead of us. She pushed a strand of hair from her pale face right, glancing in my direction before shouting,
"Straight ahead to the door! I... I think!"
"You think!" I hissed dodging a grab from another crew member, phaser blasting, "YOU THINK?!"
My sister threw her hands up in irritation at the tone of my voice as we both barreled through the door at an impressive speed. The last time I had to run this fast was in grade school back home. The only difference then was there weren't fucking members of the fucking Enterprise on our asses.
"What the heck am I supposed to say?! You're the Star Trek expert!", Eilynn replied over the sound of Captain Kirk's voice filling the halls, warning all crew members of our presence. Lockdown? Sure. Great. Fantastic.
"Wow, I am so glad you hold me in such high regard," I snapped with sarcasm, my hand slamming on the glowing button that looking something like an elevator button. My sister had the decency to roll her eyes as the door gave a hiss before sliding open. An elevator.
"Where do you think?-"
"Who cares! Just get in!"
I yelped as Eilynn grabbed my arm to drag me into the brightly lit area as several crew members yelled out at us. The dark-haired girl pressed all the buttons, frantic in her efforts to get us the hell out of the hall. I watched as the crew members disappeared from view as the silver doors closed, eliciting a sigh of relief from Eilynn.
"Heck, what are we gonna do, Arya?", She asked, running a hand down her face in exhaustion while I only shrugged my shoulders. Looking up, I noted the interior design of the elevator with its blue and silver hues. The floor under was didn't give that jittery feeling of dropping like normal elevators gave.
"Well, uh, first we can figure out how we're going to get the hell off this ship."
Eilynn peeked at my expression through her fingers before pulling them away from her face with a forced sigh. Her pale eyes held that "you're kidding me" glare as she shoved her free hand into the pocket of her pants.
"Oh yeah?" She asked, "And how are we going to do that? If that stupid tv is on that droid ship then.."
"Then we'd have to take one of the pods, recovery vehicles I think they're called, and direct it towards that big ass ship. Find Terrance and get the hell out of here." I said, feeling the elevator come to a slow halt, much to my displeasure.
"What about those little-"
"Starfighters.", I said as a wave of uneasiness washed through me, my eyes looking up to see that we had stopped at an odd level.
"Whatever! You know what I mean! Either way-"
"Sh!"
Eilynn gave me a scalding glare not happy with the number of times I had already interrupted her. My sister clamped her mouth shut as I pointed to the small screen just above the sliding doors. Her eyes widened as the elevator gave a jolt before moving back up from where we came.
"Are you kidding me? They hacked into the dang thing!"
"Well this is a goddamn bitch of a goddamn unsatisfactory situation.", I snapped, gaze raking around the small space for any way to stop from going up. Eilynn followed my eyes to the small seamless outline of the top of the moving elevator. With a nod, the dark haired woman reached up to the hatch as I leaned down to give her a boost. Of all things, of course, they can control the only way out. Sure why the fuck not?
"You got it?", I asked, supporting Eilynn's weight with the palm of my hand as she pushed the piece of metal up with a forceful shove. The sound of two plates popping answered my question along with the flashing lights of the screen warned me of the little time they had left.
"Yeah.. just.. hold on.."
Eilynn let out a huff of air, her hands grasping the edge of the newly made hole as I slowly straightened my knees as I pushed her up through. The draft made from the shaft blew Eilynn's hair as she kept her hold all while looking up as if searching for something. Meanwhile, the screen flashed another time, indicating the stop was fast approaching. Panic set in into my bones. I knew we were fucked if we couldn't find a way off the next stop.
"Eilynn!" I called up, feeling the seconds tick by as she leaned down with the other piece of metal in her hand.
"What? Come on! I can grab you."
"No time! Close it, I'll find you down in the hanger!", I said, just able to hear conflict on the other side of the door. Eilynn's eyes widened as she put two and two together before jabbed a finger at my face.
"No way! Don't be a freaking hero, Arya! I'm not leaving you!"
"Follow the lights. It'll be fine!"
Before she could reply, a hiss from the door opening forced me to turn away from my sister to come face to face with a furious captain. I didn't need to look back to know Eilynn had already placed the door back where it was. Three crew members stood in front of me with phasers locked and ready with Spock standing close behind Captain Kirk.
"Well, looky here. Fancy seeing you here.", I said with my best shit-eating grin plastered on.
"Yeah," Kirk said with the purest form of irritation, "fancy that. Where's your buddy?"
I shrug.
"Couldn't tell ya."
