"
They should be arriving soon."
"So we finally get to carry that, huh?"
"
Yes, Mayam we are still getting prepared for this. It shouldn't be much longer, before prep work is complete."
"Good make sure it does, this can not be messed up. Everything must be perfect.. We are finally getting it. IT is an honor and privilege to have them aboard this ship."
"
Uh, Mayam your drooling again.. Remember this is only for a few month cycles then we will be moving it elsewhere. There is no reason to get so attat-"
"And what do you think of it being here? What are your personal feelings on the matter?"
"Off the record? I don't know how I feel about it, even after the briefing. Why are we continuously changing who carries it? Isn't it better off on a planet somewhere? Then mark that planet as classified?"
"It is okay to be scared.. Off the record I was when I first found out about it being our turn. I've thought about every kind of situation and yet.. It will come and we will have it here. The safety of the crew as well as the rest of residents depends on us now." A ship came into view.
"Besides this thing might turn out to be fun. If nothing else might liven things up around here."
"MAYAM! Things don't need anymore livening up! We are still recovering from the last time things were to help liven things up!"
"Oh that was just a little fun between coworkers!"
"Being in stasis to escape from your duties isn't livening things up nobody could find you for four weeks.. and when someone did find out what happened all you could say was and I QUOTE! 'I fell' "
"Yes.. I fell"
"And why do you keep saying it that way! It's creepy!" Clearing their throat some before composing themselves "Off the record with do respect Mayam."
"That is all I will say about it.. The ship is close." A chime sound as a holograph lit up against the wall showing a small ship on a course towards them.
"Tinier than, I would have expected."
"That's what they all say Mayam."
"Tiny or not, long as one knows how to use it. Is only the start but can they handle what's coming. Is the real question."
"Now the question we have to ask ourselves is can we handle such a tiny thing? Or will it overcome us."
"Mayam are you not confident in our crew to handle this?"
"I am confident in our crew but the residents may need to take some precautions for their safety and ours."
"Right. the precautions I was meaning to ask you about them.. They seem a little.."
"I had the same questions you probably have but yes it's all official and agreed on."
"But why aren't we supposed to go inside? Isn't it the whole point to take them out of the ship?!"
"Would you rather have them on board.. At least we know where it will be and long as they don't exit without escort and everyone stays civil then it will be a breeze."
"EXACTLY, have their weapons systems been disabled? Why is it so specific on some areas and other areas its by regulations?"
"I know your concerns, but the good thing is I get to go welcome them. Alone in the ship so we will see if everything will go smoothly or not. Although I don't know about the outfit they want me to wear."
"I was meaning to ask what those things were for. So they want you to wear this how?"
"I will be wearing my uniform underneath them, but it is a odd outfit. from my home planet I haven't worn any of this in a very long time. It is written I have to dress in this for the first meeting, afterwards it will."
"Oh? Your home planet Mayam. Your people wore something like that before? There seems to be pieces of the outfit missing if I'm correct... Are you sure this is all the outfit?"
"Of course! I-I Ah had to try it on beforehand so everything would fit correctly."
"You didn't take anything for your self would you Mayam?"
"Listen, when I am in there there is only a set amount of time before I will be coming back out. there are pieces of that outfit that will be put on inside the ship.... If I don't make it out by the designated time wait ten more minutes. If I still don't come out. Don't do anything, just seal up the door and explain to the next ship captain. What happened and they will know what to do."
"Mayam what are you saying? You will be escorted by myself and"
"No, reread everything again.. I will be going in alone in the full uniform. The docks will be in lock down behind me as I walk in. The time will begin once I enter into the ship"
"This is getting out of hand.."
"If there is any sign of danger you have my permission to empty out the air within the docks."
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that.. You may have odd tendances, and your language when your temper arrives... Oh and don't forget about the time you-"
"Alright. that's enough.. Was there a point anywhere in that?"
"Mayam, I doubt that will happen. All accounts aside.. I don't believe that will be necessary, whatever it is even with that.." "Outfit? Suit? Uniform? You are the highest ranking official on this ship and respected from all crews and most residents."
"I think I get it thank you, but this is my duty." "Thank you for everything."
"Mayam!"
"No signal"
"Alright, it's time."
"Oh this is so exciting, heh but I have dealt with worse. This is.. my ship." "This is it, huh." "Let's see if I remember how to put this on."
"Greetings.." clearing their throat some a lump seemed to stop them from speaking. "It is a honor to have you aboard. and imprisoned here."
"No that's no good.."
".. I guess I'll enter in the code."
"MAYAM! WAIT!"
"Wha-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GET OUT OF HERE THIS IS A RESTRICTED AREA!"
"Let go of me?! Hey what are you doing!"
"I'm sorry Mayam but we all have voted that this is not normal and It will be processed just like everything else that is contained here! So we are doing what we are ordered to Mayam. Now what is the code"
"You IDIOTS this is above even me! stop wait! I ORDER YOU ALL TO STOP THIS INSTANT!"
"Sorry Mayam that is not going to happen! afterwards deal with us how you will, this whole situation is against protocol!" "Squads advance enter into the ship and bring them out unharmed unless there is resistance! Place them in a holding cell until further instruction."
"Well? Does anyone have eyes on them?"
"Anyone?" "Hey answer me.."
"This is an order answer!"
"You really are an idiot.. I told you to stop but noooo you didn't listen! Now let me go!"
"Now I have to go clean up your mess!"
"I'm coming! Wait! I apologize about my crew they are just trying to do the right thing!" "I'm sorry I.." stopping as the body's of those that rushed in were laying on top of each other. "Mayam I take full resp- spon.. What-what happened? This doesn't make sense.."
"NOW YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE THE TOUGH CALLS!" "What? What have I done? I never thought" "Exactly you didn't think, I understand you wanted to protect me. But I can handle myself, besides if I were to be the one this happened to everyone else would have been safe!"
"H-hey.." staring in dread, lowering themselves down and examined the body next to their leg. "I'm here" checking their vitals with a small device placing it near their body. "..Their alive.", heart beats continue as each body was knocked out and it seemed they fell into each other. "Alive.. alive haha.. th-thank you. Maybe we can .. fix this after all.." "Their ah..?alive? But how?" Both began checking each body. No injuries, but they were placed into a coma like state. Tears of joy ran down their faces glad to know they were still alive.
A soft rattling came from the the next door inside of the ship. Their body froze at the sound, gently getting up and moved along the wall towards the door.
"This is the captain of this ship you have docked in.. I am requesting access to your whereabouts! My crew here I thank you for not harming them. They are loyal and kinda stupid sometimes.." Stepping closer to the door being careful not to step on anybody. "But they mean well.. I promise you." Leaning their head slowly into the next room, it was the bridge. A single large seat sat in the middle with a large control panel, other seats were positioned around the room. Some of the consoles didn't seem to have power as others were softly glowing with symbols.
Stepping inside slowly looking at the consoles before a figure appeared near the wall. Turning their head to them still in their outfit, the other stepping slowly into the room as well. Turning their attention to the wall noticing the figure. "Wa-wait.. Mayam!?" Rushing forward only to lower their body to the ground. "Please forgive us.." "(rankname)" "So.. uh. I hope this will not cause any issues in the fu-" Lifting up a shackled body suit waving their glove gesturing to those upon the floor. Turning away slightly as it was connected to the ship by both suit and to a cable line running along the inside of the ship.
"Wh-oh oh yes thank you for understanding. Then can I ask you to please stay in this room until all my crew are removed then afterwards we can do this properly?"
Lifting their glove up waving some before laying down against the wall. "Thank you.." Getting slapped in the side as they both move out of the room locking the door behind them at the panel by the door. Staring at the door, "Attention medical team to the docking bay asap. I repeat medical team to the docking bay asap." Ending the announcement as they both looked at each other for a moment "Mayam.. I." "You are still taking responsibility of your actions. Your choices have consequences.. Luckily nobody was injured. so count this as a lucky close call.. You might not have another one like this.. Understood?"
Lowered their gaze to the floor of the door slightly lowering themselves down. "Get up and let's get these people out of here.. NOW move move move!" Jumping up turning around and quickly began helping pick up one crew member after another. Medical teams were rushing in with both weapons drawn and medical devices at ready. "Everyone careful with their bodies, form a line and please no crowding." Each member quickly putting away their weapon and most used their medical devices as others carried and helped transport them all to medbay.
Standing in front of the door in their outfit with a slight blush on their face. They were getting looks from the medical staff mixed confusion and some curiousness at seeing the captain in some revealing clothing. Staying nearby helping and directing members where to go and how to help, before assisting in their removal. Staying firmly in front of the door having their arms behind their back standing at attention.
Watching quietly and directing everyone when needed to. "What are you looking at?! Go! Help them!" "Mayam?!" "What is it?" "Everyone is now been taken to the medbays. Reports all show they are all in the clear. No casualty's there hasn't been any damage to either mental or physical they may start waking up at random moments. Hopefully soon." "Mayam, I know I've messed this up bad but I have to do something. It is my responsibility to make things right... I have to come with you." "No, That's out of the question I am the Captain of this ship so it falls onto me to make things right, and it is also my responsibility to find a suitable punishment for going against my orders and almost causing a tragedy! You are going to let and coming back into this ship that will not"
The door slid open as the line would slide along the doorframe. Standing on the other side of the door staring at them both. "Ever-happen." Clearing their throat "We just finished, they were just leaving thank you for your report now please leave.. I will be right there please." Turning around, gesturing to them back to the room stepping aside some trying to block their view of (name).
Walking around and followed the line, the restraints dragged along the ground. Stepping in front of them as they walked towards a hallway their arms open. "It was my Idea It was me. I ordered them to come in. But I will not Allow even you to disrespect The Captain get back into the room" Stopping and listened, turning around to stare at them, "I-I"
Seeing their own face and body in the visor of the helmet. "I am responsible and taking my consequences of my actions! I have broke the order.. And now I will wait for my punishme-" Stepping forward quickly wrapping arms around their body hugging them warmly. "AAAaaah! Aah!" Struggled for a moment screaming out in surprise, but also before standing there soon shivering. "I" Their body slowly lowered down placing themselves on their knees. "Please forgive them." Reaching up with a glove touching their head.
Their body went limp, falling upon them, although they were taller. Carrying their body over to The Captain was a simple slow walk. Arriving in front of The Captain, They shifted the body and gently resting their body. Lifting their gaze seeing the body, waiting for them to leave and quickly checking their vitals. Turning around and continued down the hallway the line sliding beside their body. Turning into another doorway into a kitchen.
