Chapter 60 by Artican Artican

Who was it?

It's Jenny to the rescue!

My heart skipped as I saw the familiar face of my friend Jenny coming to save me.

"Jenny!" I cried out as she tried to figure out the door panel.

"First you get snatched up by a cave monster, then I find you caged by some marooned madman!" Jenny said as she worked the door commands. "You have the worst luck on away missions, don't you?"

"I can't say I have a good track record," I admitted. "Did you catch Jaquon?"

"He sealed himself on his bridge. Barbieri and Bethan are trying to break their way in now. Aha..." There was a hissing of the door and I was free. I stepped out quickly in case it closed up again and Jenny handed me a spare phaser.

"You didn't also happen to bring a spare uniform, did you?" I asked with little hope.

"Sorry, Linda, that wasn't on the requisition form," Jenny replied. We went to back up the two lieutenants when there was another hiss coming from the vents. Jenny caught it before I did and shouted, "Gas!"

"That must have been what knocked me out earlier..." I noted. "He said something about taking me to sell off like he did the Hrmgnnr..."

"Selling Hrmgnnr?"

"We'll talk about it after..." I said, pointing to the encroaching gas cloud.

We held our breaths and Jenny tried to lead me out. It looked like she was making her way to the exit, but when we arrived, the door was sealed shut and Jenny had to try and unlock it manually. Before she could make any real progress though, a phaser beam shot into her back and she was out cold. I turned to look and standing at the end of the hall was Jaquon carrying on of our phasers. The gas must have gotten to Bethan and Barbieri and he took advantage. I immediately fired back and he ducked out of the way. My only option was to warn the Ishtar of what happened, so I quickly ran to where I remembered the radio was, firing blindly at Jaquon to keep him at bay. My body was quickly building up with CO2 and my head was starting to hurt, but I **** myself to concentrate and activate the the transmitter.

With my last breath I spoke into the recieiver, "Trask to Ishtar... Jaquon is capturing us..." and that was all I could utter before I passed out as well.

What does Linda wake up to?
