Jane felt her mind clearing from the fog of sleep, her aching wounded body felt fresh and warm as if waking from a dream in her bunk.
She tried to take stock of her surroundings and why her mouth and nose felt funny, like they were covered by an unknown hand that still allowed her to breathe. She openned her eyes and as the pink sticky liquid filled them she began to realise her fate and terror rose through her with the accompanying scream.
She thrashed around naked in her glass cell screaming into her oxygen mask banging her fists against the sides in blind panic. The sight of row upon row of cylinders similarly filled with sleeping clones of herself suspended in the pink nutrient goo, only increased her need and desire to escape. This had to be a nightmare!
A silhouetted figure of one of those creatures stood in the doorway regarding her. She stopped banging the glass as the terror slipped away .
"Please... Please, let me out... I know you can hear me... Please... I just want to go home."
"You'll get home soon Lieutenant." The Alien's voice wrapped "You will all get home sooner than you think."
Then, the figure turned away and closed the metal door with a secure metallic clunk plunging Jane and the clones, into the dark.
