[indent]Light footsteps echoed in distance, yet distance faded till distance became the utter presence in front of them. It was a rather innovative piece of technology, innovative but not intimidating. Also, it were not bulking either, but more over lightweight, meaning with it lightly armored. The only detail of this intruding bot that caused it to seem hostile, other than the fact that it trespassed, were its possession of a firearm of the sorts. Appeared in the plain sight of the Artemis crew, the bot rotated its head clockwise, almost as if it were scanning the current surroundings before emitting its announcement, its quite [i]loud[/i] announcement, [B]"HALT! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR TREASON AGAINST THE PRINCIPALITY."[/B] Movement, it was the in the background, they could hear it, except these footsteps were so light. The bot continued to proceed with its final command, [b]"HANDS AGAINST THE WALL!"[/b] If anyone bore the speculation of further enforcers to be of manufactured machinery, they would be wrong. 

Instead, boomed and bashed a horde of marching, hulking muscles pigmented with black nestled underneath a suit of armor. The faces of these creatures could only be described as skeletal.  Yet the eyes were actually a quite stunning crystallized blue. They clearly decided to display the immersive force of their strength, for they were not gentle, not in the slightest sense. As to  what extent they were manhandled at that moment, Tahlia took it the worst...

Considering the fact she was seated at the cockpit and was not permitted enough time to actually follow up the bot's orders, accounting in that she was not already standing up like the rest, the extraterrestrial nearest to her took it as his instinctual initiative to net his digits into the strains of her hair and turbulently heave her against the wall with enough acceleration to leave her unbalanced and thus collapsing against the metal floor. Laying face flat, she could feel the crushing weight of his knee pinning her torso downwards while hooking the cuffs. And the restraints themselves felt nothing ordinary, something next-gen, something futuristic and alien just like the whole situation itself. Tahlia was then plucked from the floor and pressed into the lineup with the others. It obvious, whatever those things were, Tahlia was definitely painted their most detested target all with fact that she was seen in the seat of the cockpit. That was enough to have them assume that she was the queen, they had no other suspicion to infer.  

Speaking of others, the rest of the crew was evidently treated nicely if you compare their experience with Tahlia's. Nothing more happened with them other than being cuffed and shoved. [b]"PROCEED WITH ME."[/b] The bot trudged in front along the ship  until they met its exit. That was when the cut off happened.

A wide stretched arm played as the blockade separating Owen from Tahlia, Echo, and Yaz. He was held back while the women were escorted away into the uncharted territory of the intruding ship. There left alone on the Artemis, Owen was bounded by two guards while the bot wandered away besides another creature. They were scouting, searching- but for what?

It was then that Owen spotted back through a distant hall the crazed doctor, [i]crazed[/i] because was Benji playing stupid, being ambitious or acting purely insane? He sprung down from a ceiling vent in surprise to successful land on the only thing that thus far had any communication- the bot. Benji pierced through machine with some sort of bladed energy saber in hand, something Owen could swear is only seen in video games. But before Benji further collected even the chance to decide which one he was going to dice and slice next, he vocally agonized the experience of electrocution through what was loaded in those guns, a type of taze bullet.  

The last Owen could see of Benji was his body immediately dropping to the floor, trembling from the shock before the aliens positioned as guards pushed him away towards the direction that the rest left to. But the last Owen could hear from Benji was pained shrieks and then spitting, spitting meant to piss someone or [i]something[/i] off. And sure enough he did. An alien roar was next then heard with the final sound of Benji's tortured yells. 

As for mere desperate relief, Owen reunited with girls. They were imprisoned inside of a single empty room, locked behind a guarded door. He sat there, [i]they[/i] all sat there in captivity and confused- likely scared even.
