No, Chastity is Better than Electrocution

Realizing that you know nothing about power conduits and are likely to electrocute yourself, you decide it would be better to leave the cage on for now. Deciding that nothing more can be done about it right now, you pull up your pants and plan your next move.

What happened to the real Enterprise, and how do you get back there? Maybe if you beam back down to the planet and find the landing party, the Captain will know how to get back. At the very least, you won't be on your own. You'll have to get back to the transporter room first though.

After several minutes of crawling in what you think is the right direction, you reach another maintenance hatch. This must be it, you think to yourself as you open the hatch and climb through. The room is larger than you remember the transporter room being this big, and what are all these crates doing here?

"Shit," you mutter to yourself as you realize you're standing in the cargo bay. Just as you're about climb back into the maintenance hatch, the door opens. Instinctively, you dive behind a stack of containers.

"Let's check in here, he couldn't have gone far," says a feminine voice. It sounds like crewman Thompson, who apparently on this Enterprise is zh'Thracia's lackey.

"Yeah, this is the kind of place a coward like him would hide," says another voice that sounds like Crewman Dixon. "Come out, come out, wherever you are," she calls in a menacing sing-song voice.

The women have you trapped. You can't escape back through the maintenance hatch without them catching you. All you can do is hide and stay silent and hope they leave. Your heart is racing and your pulse is throbbing in your ears.

"Found you," you hear Dixon say in that same playful but deadly tone. You look in the direction of her voice and see her moving toward you, dagger in hand and smiling from ear to ear. You crouch into a defensive posture and draw your own dagger.

"Drop it!" You hear Thompson command as she approaches from the other side with her dagger drawn. It's two against one, and you can't escape.
