INT. BUNK

The bunk is closed. It is dark. Our protagonist lies in her bed. A red alert klaxon is blaring, having woken her up.

PROTAGONIST (V.O.)
What in the world is that?

PROTAGONIST
Computer, lights.

The lights come up, and we see the bunk. It is small, just big enough to fit a single person with a little bit of wiggle room.
It is sparsely decorated. There is a single poster affixed to the ceiling of the bunk. The poster is a Starfleet recruitement poster.
Our protagonist keeps it in her bunk to remind herself of why she joined Starfleet.

Red Alert continues to blare.

The protagonist is dressed in the familiar operations uniform, and a single Ensign's pip.

PROTAGONIST
Computer, open my bunk

The bunk wall slides open, revealing a hallway which serves as the lower deck quarters. Bunks line the walls. A few other people are slowly waking up, and look confused.

The protagonist climbs out of her bunk. Hers is the second in a stack of three, so there is some space to step down.

As her feet step down, the alarm stops. A boatswain's call is briefly heard, followed by an announcement.

PIRATE LEADER (ON SPEAKER)
Attention crew of the USS Remontel. Your captain, bridge crew, and senior officers are in our custody. Your ship is under our control.
  
Anybody who attempts to oppose us will be met with a swift end. If you stay where you are and do not interfere in our plans, you will be released safely shortly.

The protagonist stands there, a bit dumbfounded. Why would someone capture this, of all ships? The Remontel is one of the most insignificant ships in the fleet.

She looks around and notices several other junior officers standing around, confused, scared, and unsure. Her friend, Ensign Christi Gomez, stands next to her.

PROTAGONIST
Christi, what are we going to do?

GOMEZ
I don't know. Should we try to contact Starfleet?

Ensign Ruux, a Rhaandarite, stands nearby. He is soft-spoken, and very tall. His wide forehead is a prominent feature.

RUUX
I don't think we should do anything. You heard him. All the senior officers have been taken. Whoever our captors are, they've already outsmarted the best of us. We should do what they say and hope they'll let us go.
