They
dragged Kat, kicking and wriggling, down the docking bay and into the
spacecraft. Everything she saw was colored black; a black ship crewed by black
clothed men. They towed her, still struggling, through the ship’s passages to a
storage room. No one spoke to her. One man searched her dirty overalls, removed
her knife, and then, he flung her into a small featureless room.
Kat
was left alone in the room. The familiar noises and vibrations marked the ship
disengaging from the dock, and lifting into orbit around the spaceport. She
stared around the windowless room. A simple bed platform on one side and a
utility pot relieved the monotony of the white walls. The vibrations damped as
the ship entered the eerie vacuum of hyperspace.
