The guards pushed forward forcing her to enter the room, dragging her straight to the gurney. Her training started to kick in and she suddenly got aware of herself looking around the room, taking in all the small details: she noticed the systems aligned on the wall, some sort of computer screens integrated into them. They looked dusty and shabby, still there was no company logo she recognized. The middle of the room was empty aside a gurney that had a contraption consisting of some straps fixed to it. Next to it stood something she guessed was medical equipment, although it, too, looked foreign. Without any further preamble, the guards lifted her up and forced her rather harshly on the gurney. Hey wrists and ankles were fixed and finally a strap came around her waist and around her forehead. Her struggle was in vain, but she knew that from the start; it was more to show that she opposed to this treatment and, more important, to what was to come.
After this the guards stepped back, and a picture flashed into her mind, depicting men in white coats with a manic grin bending over her immobilized body that made her frantically try to turn her head, only to notice that the straps inhibited every movement in a very efficient way. The man that stepped forward instead, was kind of anticlimactic as he didn't even pay close attention to the gurney. He held a little apparatus in his hand and swiped it over her body without saying a word. After this he disappeared from her line of sight apparently turning towards the systems on the wall. While she could only wait anxiously, she heard him sit down and typing away into the computers to the far end of the room. After a short while he returned and pressed a little contraption to her upper arm leaving a cold impression - she was not able to see more – only to leave her again for some more minutes. She then heard the door opening with a quiet hiss and two men, one of the voices seemed to belong to the man in charge, talking quietly. The voices died down and moments later the 'commander' entered her line of sight:
"This is your last chance, woman. I will ask you the question once, only once, do you understand? Be assured that we have means to find out on our own, and they will not be pleasant." He went quiet and stared down at his captive who did not show any motion and held his gaze in an angry stare. Finally, he asked "why have they sent you to this time, hiding you?" He waited for an answer that didn't come, searching the face of the woman before him for any hints of emotions; finding only a cold, hard stare, he went on "what are you born with, what are the abilities they want to exploit?"

The Enterprise reached the coordinates in time, all the preparations happening with the well timed precision of an experienced crew. This was one of the small wonders Kirk never tired of, this well-oiled machinery that was the spine of Starfleet's strength, at his beck and call. He did not send Spock of personally as he did not want to be associated with this mission, but it had not hindered him to call his first officer on the intercom to check he had everything he needed before leaving the ship. After the transfer he immediately gave orders to get further away from Romulan territory, leaving Admiral Shield's ship and his first officer to their fate.

Spock had been immediately led to the bridge of the smaller, but well equipped ship. Shield and his Aryan brotherhood were resourceful, a fact that the officer had known beforehand but realized again as he was led through the silent corridors of the ship that were packed with equipment so advanced that it was barely available to Starfleet development units. Upon reaching the bridge Shield nodded and gestured him to follow him to his attendance room, where he sat down at a small conference table on which two pads lay prepared. He handed one to Spock: "This is the information we have on the Story of your sister's life on earth. You will notice that there has been nothing out of the ordinary, except for a rather high intelligence and a strong will, her superiors mentioning the 'independent spirit' that led to some friction during her training for the navy." He grinned "Let's see if we can get her back. We picked up the signal of her transponder three days ago not far from here at the border of the Romulan zone, near a secret operations base we know of. It is still active, apparently moving slowly towards the inner realms, but we should be easily able to reach it within half a day. Apparently the Romulan bastards abducted her 2013, risking their lives to jump back in time."
Spock had activated the pad and nodded at his words, quickly strolling to the files until he stopped at a picture of a woman. She was brown haired, with rather fine features but the face was nothing out of the ordinary, as far as he was concerned. What really captivated his gaze where her eyes, which were fixed in the onlooker in a very open, alert and expressive glance, making him feel immediately familiar with the girl on the screen. He spoke up
"I understand. We will need to additionally secure the means which allowed them their time travel in order to assess whether we will need to take measures to prevent further events like this. Did you pick up any readings of the event itself?"
His counterpart shook his head, a slightly annoyed smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: "As. Always, you're asking the right questions. Still want to stick with that imbecile Kirk? I would need your mind on missions of greater importance to the united federation" This was Spock's prompt to shake his head in negation. "I appreciate the offer but I have to admit that my loyalties are with the USS Enterprise, and it is only my personal involvement which led to my partake in this, although I would like to mention again that I am not in favor of not informing my superior of the goal of this mission." At those words Shield's smile turned into a full grin, and getting up he said: "Well, then, let's find our little princess and the technology that led them bastards to her and then you can go your merry way." Sensing that he would not get more information, Spock stood up, captivating the admiral's gaze in his:
"Shield, I hope you are aware that I will take my sister with me after we freed her!"
He only got another grin at those words, when the admiral replied "We'll see, Spock, we'll see."
