-USS KURRAJONG-


LT Yuna Celes dropped to the ground and smashed out 50 quick pushups with the rest of the security detail she was training with, rolling over onto her back and pushing out another 50 crunches as soon as she was done. Sweat beaded from her forehead, trickling down the line of spots that ran from her browline all the way along the side of her body to her toes. The bead of liquid was absorbed by the standard issue top she wore, the same colour and style as every other officer in the room. It was one of the reason's she loved Startfleet, despite all the warring races in the universe, Starfleet worked with all races to make peace, and so there were all races and species in the same uniform. Trill, human, vulcan and the like. They all worked as one team, a Starfleet team.

" Security alert - Deck 3 section 6" The shipwide alert startled everyone, including the team she was with. The Kurrajong was out in the middle of nowhere, not near any planets, no ships were around, heck, the most interesting thing in the region was space dust. Whoop de doo.

The team scrambled to their feet, slamming on their regulation tunics and doing up the clasps as they ran. Phaser belts were quickly adorned and tightened as they ran out into the corridor, two columns, 4 men per column. They had no idea what to expect, no information, just an alert. Yuna knew an alert could mean just about anything.

She led the team as she'd been trained to do, pulling her phaser as they neared the location of the alert. Rising a fist into the air the team slid instantly to a halt, creeping forward towards the corner that blinded their view of whatever was going on.

" Holy crap in a bucket" She swore as she peeked around the corner. A vortex was swirling within the corridor, sucking everything within range into its core.

" Help me!" A young scientist had a tricorder in one hand and was trying to maintain her grip on a doorframe to avoid getting sucked in. Her grip was slipping...

Without second thought Yuna rounded the corner, holstering her phaser so she had both hands available. The wind sucked her towards the stricken scientist and she let it pull her forward, latching on to the same doorframe and angleing her body behind. She elbowed the door control, giving the scientist a shove into the now open door, removing her from danger. Now she just had to get out of here herself.

" Damn" She tried to regain her grip, her fingers starting to slip just like the scientists. What was it with this friggen doorframe? The next instant happened so quickly she could process it entirely. The vortex intensified, her grip slipped completely and she was sucked into the vortex. Instinctually she slammed her eyes shut, protecting her head with her arms as she was thrown and tossed like confetti. An instant later the full force of being thrown into a bulkhead caused her mind to shut down completely - she slipped unconscious down the wall, landing in a heap on the floor. But where was she?
