The wind blew up from the ruins of the abandoned planet and Ashley looked at her oxygen levels. She had at least two more hours to explore and with any luck at all the ancient city would be the fabled Nephilite colony. It had been rumored to be in the space systems of the region and to have gone extinct thousands of years after the home planet went extinct. Ashley could just see it now if she discovered the ancient colony. A large building was just ahead of her and the dusty brown earth was blowing against the space walk suit.
Inside the building odd symbols were on the computers and Ashley sat down at the computer to take a closer look. The colony had been destroyed by a catastrophic plague and some of the original members of the colony were apparently frozen in stasis pods. Nobody knew what exactly the Nephilites looked like and there were no records of recordings of them. Ashley excitedly went through the computer program looking for how to reanimate the frozen Nephilites.
The computer showed that one of the Nephilites had promising vital signs even after having been frozen for God knows how long. Carefully Ashley initiated the program to return the male Nephilite to being unfrozen. As soon as the pod reached a point where the program was beyond stopping the process Ashley loaded the stasis pod into her spaceship.
The spaceship was a class B mini falcon and although small consisting of an engine room, living area, hold and cockpit was sufficient for archaeological exploration. The pod took up the entire hold and Ashley left it in the hold and sealed the doors while she went to go take a shower. The awakening process would take a good two hours and she wanted to be fresh when she began study of the alien in her hold.
The warm water streamed over her lithe soft body and down her D cup breasts over her curves and Ashley sudsed up with a lavender smelling soap. Closing her eyes she enjoyed how the water felt hitting her body. After finishing up Ashley wrapped herself in a towel and fell asleep having put on a new outfit.
The Nephilite in the pod meanwhile woke up and carefully had his pod analyse the air outside the pod finding it barely within his range for breathing. Carefully he exited his pod and scanned the area for life. One primitive life form that scanned as from a genetic experiment on a technologically retarded planet. Surek thought for a moment about his circumstances. Subset 796 E had been successfully introduced and his group had returned to the Zeska colony only to have a horrible plague afflict the entire planet ten months later. Surek had pale grey skin, black oval eyes, and was bipedal. He stood at 5'7'' and was intimidating with his ability to move items telekinetically.
Obviously an experimental species running amok on a spaceship would never do and Surek thought about his options carefully. Taking charge of the spaceship was the only option and the experiment would need to be contained but yet Surek thought to himself that species did better with a mating group or paired.
Ashley walked to the hold seeing that her guest was awake and out of his pod. Carefully she opened the door holding her taser just in case.
Looking at the alien in her hold she asked it to identify his species.
"Nephilite of the colony Zeska and you are identified as genetically engineered Subseet 796 E and primito-religious with frontal lobe development and fully functional reproductive capacity aged 25 and female. You should not be in charge of this ship and will hence forth surrender it to me."
"No way" Ashley answered and tried to fire the taser at the Nephilite.
Surek raised one hand and the taser flew to his hand and he fired it at Ashley stunning her and she fell onto the floor of her ship.
Waking up later she found herself stuck in the Nephilites pod as he carefully put the stasis lock on. Looking down at her through the window of the pod and Ashley hit the top of the pod with her hands trying to get out. The Nephilite had undressed her and she lay on the hard bunk of the pod naked.
Surek meanwhile put the ship to hyperdrive and went to a moon orbiting a large gas giant where a small Nephilite colony existed. The colony had boasted a gorgeous zoo of the genetically engineered creatures the Nephilite created and was a major center of learning and scientific study. Carefully landing on the planet Surek took the pod to the time stream center and opened the coordinates to a time during the height of the Nephilite habitation of the moon. The moon had been carefully bioengineered to be a tropical paradise and in the current time it was deserted. Taking the pod with the captured Subset 796 E Surek entered the time stream. Reemerging Surek stood on the platform and requested immediate assistance.
Several other Nephilites came and he gave them time coordinates from whence he'd come and described his unfortunate circumstances. The pod was immediately taken to the Nephteni zoo as that was what they all agreed would be best.
