Ashley looked around. The large room, spacious as it was, didn't suit her. She had orders to ready the chamber as a holding cell for N.B.E.'s – Non-biological extraterrestrials. So far, she had been given orders to expect one, whatever they were.
The room was very big and seemed like you could have a titan either walk in and hit his head or crouch in and barely fit. Mist rolled out of several pipes and chilled Ashley's skin. She hoped that it wasn't any sort of liquid nitrogen that she heard that the government had at their disposal…
Her new uniform was black with Sector 7's name embroidered on the breast pocket, and a small American flag sewn below it. Underneath it Ashley was allowed to keep her jeans and T-shirt since it really was cold in the Hoover Dam.
Ashley didn't like what was going on. For starters, cryo people were coming in and out, although they had no authority to be here. Once the N.B.E. arrived, she planned to kick the cryo people out and her own people too. She hated being watched, especially by noisy people who thought they were in control. The air conditioner was definitely working – she was freezing! She pulled her jacket closer to herself, grumbling about stupid new employers who didn't bother to tell her what was going on.
Ashley tied her hair back and sighed, picking up the clipboard that she put down temporarily on a large wooden crate. When she read the content on the paper, her eyes widened. The N.B.E., it couldn't be…an alien?! Could it?
