The Prisoner
The hall outside the cell is bare, no one passes by and no crates can be seen.
Suddenly the lights flash and flicker, a sound like surging electricity can can heard and then the sound of generators shutting down. The restraints around his arms and neck unlock, the forcefield blocking the door, and the one suspending him in the air, dissipate into nothingness, and with a heavy thud Janus hits the floor.
It is with the *thud* of his body against the floor that breaks his meditation. It was unexpected, completely, and had he simply been aware, it would have been different.
The first thing he felt was minor pain of impacting steel.
The second was how free his wrists and neck were after reaching to ease his back.
This made him realize that something had happened - or perhaps, someone? Either way, he tested the cage with a swipe of his hand, and with no barrier, he gladly stood up, collected himself, and walked out of the small cell. Here he stretched for a moment, to ensure he didn't hurt himself after being confined so long, and with nothing in this cell, moved to door and opened it, to a chance at freedom.
Now, if only he knew where they put his belongings...
Zee puts up a video series of clips of various robots, droids, and monsters doing the 'monster holds the hand of the little girl' (first made famous with Frankenstein's Monster aka Adam and the little girl).
Zee then works to make sure the alarms are deactivated on the hanger deck for Aran to bring the cloak fighter in to land.
Zee then changes the main video screen switch to start playing some sort of Disney type of channel and shows on his little screen a picture of popcorn popping and then Aran being shoved out of the door.
"You're just glad to not have to go back out that vent, huh, Zee?" Aran says with a chuckle.
He kneels down next to the little girl and gently attempts to pry her hand off. "Look, I've gotta go get our ship. Zee here's taken down all the alarms, so we should be safe. It'll only take me a few minutes and then we can all get outta this place. You gonna be OK?"
If he gets the girl calm, he'll go back down the turbolift and make his way to the fighter to maneuver it around to the main dock.
