[color=00ff00]“This is ridiculous.”[/color] A muffled voice said. Then more banging resonated through the hallways of the ship. [color=00ff00]“Anyone?!”[/color] Helena yelled hoping anyone would hear her. She figured by now that the ship was attacked. Everything had been silent for a while now, which meant either that the crew fought the invaders off, or they had taken over the ship. Her lab was in a rather secluded area of the ship, for the most part due the experiments that might be performed in there. A source of high-energy radiation or magnetic field generators were not something one would want near the crew quarters. For Helena, the thought of getting irradiated or having her Personal Data-pad rendered useless were equally terrifying. 'Always keep personal belongings away from your experiments' was Helena's most important rule of thumb.

She smacked the bottom of her gun a few more times on the door and then pointed at it. Trying to multitask the best she could, she reached her hand into the open door console. [color=00ff00]“There has to be at least one damn circuit that isn’t fired.”[/color] She told herself with a sigh.

Two more bangs against the door. By this point she was considering just shooting the door open.
