"If you just missed it, this woman threatened me." The boney Man says as he spins around to address the entire room, as if justifying himself and what he just did.
The crew of the enterprise look on in shock but it's obvious there is nothing they can do. Luckily for me, this man is weak so his hits are more uncomfortable than they are painful.
After staring everyone down they push me off the ship and I hear the boney man say "That is all, thank you for your cooperation." And probably give a dismissive wave.
"Wait, she is in my charge, I brought her here so I get to question her." Kirk states as he finds his courage, following us off.
"No, did you not hear me before? Things have changed. Gravely. I am in charge now, my word is law and that law can not be broken." The slender man says darkly.
"She is now the property of the Starfleet Academy and therefore belongs to me." He continues coldly.
"Wait a minute, the only person I belong to is myself ... And my mum, but since you are neither I suggest you stop talking about me like I am some sort of criminal. I haven't broken any of your rules... Purposely, so can you tell me why you are 'claiming' me?" I say directly in annoyance.
A sly smile appears on his face, one that stretches from ear to ear showing all of his teeth. He wanted me to ask this.
"You 'just so happen' to board one of my ships, it's very odd I think you'll agree so who's to say you're not a spy?" He replies.
"Right... Then if I am a spy, why would you take me directly to your base? You have enough men here to class them as an army so you must hold very high standards for me, why not just kill me?   I mean, if I am as good as you think I am, I'm obviously not going to give you any information that you want if it comprises the people I work with so what's the point?" I say. Merely thinking out loud but also forcing the crew of the Enterprise to think about it too. My bet is that he wants to use me. He probably saw what happened with those alien things and thinks I'm good enough to fight for him. Damn, I bet he's got some sort of brainwashing thing...
"Enough chatter! Take the prisoner to her new room..." The skeleton shouts, obviously defeated.
Before I know it I'm in another room that is all white apart from one wall that is made of glass. The rectangle room has just a bed in the left corner and lights all over.
"It could use some colour." I say as I slowly walk around my cell.
As I'm facing the one wall, I sense a presence from behind me.
"Are you ever actually going to tell me your name?" I ask before I turn around.
Through the glass wall, the boney man is smiling triumphantly as he says "My name is not important, but if it helps you may call me Mr White."
"Alright Mr White, why am I a prisoner?" I ask, with my voice sounding board of never getting my questions answered.
"Well, you are clearly working with someone else and it would go against everything I stand for if I didn't do my upmost to protect the people..." He starts to answer in a matter-of-fact tone.
After receiving a 'as if anyone would believe that' look from me and an eye roll he sighs.
"Fine, if it's true what you said; about traveling through time, I wish to possess that gift." He says with a sinister smile following.
