Tommy groans getting up going through his hair.

"Woah," Tommy said. "What happened?..."

The last Tommy recalls is driving his four friends to SunSet Bay and then whiteness blinding the windshield. Tommy blinks adjusting his eyes to the scenery. He can see lumps of bodies leaning to their sides and some laid on the ground snoring. That is Clark snoring, Tommy thought also hearing Foster talking in her sleep.

"No mama," Foster slept talk. "I don't wanna pet a tiger." Foster turns over to the side shielding her eyes. "Don't make me,mama. I am scared."

Once his eyes grew adjusted to the brightness in the room; Tommy can see a blue field sprawled across radiating some extensive heat. He can tell it is radiating extensive heat as there is some hot air coming off being visible to the human eye. Clark,Janet, and Foster including Loki are pretty much out.

Loki, the criminal he is, is under a 'disguise' as Thomas on a separate bunk lined against the wall while most of the gang are on the floor. Tommy gets up using the wall a support. He feels a stinging pain on the back of his neck that is relatively new so Tommy feels his neck. His hand feels two rounded markings perfectly in the same length. Two assumptions came into Tommy's mind that otherwise are not logical. Number 1; Alien abduction. Number 2; Government has abducted a group of civilians using some undercover ops mission and marked them a unique military style idea that is not digital.

America doing this to their own people?

No.

Tommy refuses to believe that.

Tommy goes towards the field where right across from it is two shady men at a table tapping on what seem to be blue square ipad devices held up by a frame on the table. Some how without stepping on anyone Tommy is able to get near the field without getting too close.

"Hello?" Tommy said.

The two men, being Charlice and Xackery, turn their head towards Tommy.

"The human speaks," Xackery said.

Tommy frowns, narrowing his eyes towards Xackery.

"You are human," Tommy said.

"I am not," Xackery said.

"You look human to me," Tommy said.

"You look quite alien to me," Xackery held up his hand that has claws attached being metal. Tommy gulps. "Now do you see any remains of fingers on here?" Xackery gets up off the chair. His metal claws click against each other. "I don't."

Charlice grabs Xackary by the shoulder.

"That is enough, pal," Charlice said.

"He asked for it," Xackery said.

"The boss will deal with them," Charlice said.

Xackery yanks his shoulder out of Charlice's grip.

"If he keeps saying I am a zamn human then he won't be living for long," Xackery said.

Loki groans, getting up.

"My neck," Loki complains. "It aches."

"You can't blame me for assuming you are," Tommy said.

Xackery narrows his light gray eyes towards Tommy.

"I do not know where you come from," Xackery said. "But assuming off appearance is really sinking your chances of living past the age of 32 rather fast."

"Tom," Loki said. "Why are we in a cell?"

A growl came from Xackery.

"No more questions," Xackery said, as Charlice goes over to the table. "The only one asking questions here is going to be my boss."

"Excuse me, but that was one question," Loki said.

"So?" Xackery asks, raising a brow.

"That is singular," Loki said. "And what kind of boss, theoretically, lets their employee have a metal hand?"

"Me," Came a woman resembling Joy from the doors to the room.

Loki stares at the woman as she comes down the hall, her face decorated in feline features yet so human like, her fingernails bearing characteristics of claws similar to a cat's claw, and her hazel eyes flicker from brown to green. Maybe it was the black short sleeved shirt over the long sleeved green shirt ending at the golden arm bands that made her eyes stand out.

Xackery takes a step to the side.

"Sorry boss," Xackery apologizes, as the other members of the group awaken. "The two humans got on my nerves."

"Joy?" Tommy asks.

The purring woman came to a stop right at the barrier.

"How do you know my name, human?" Captain Joy asks.

"Uh, the restaurant in Coos Bay," Tommy said.

"Never been to this 'Coos Bay'," Captain Joy said. "It must be one of the illegal stores along the planetary system."

"You have been on Earth, you know like in Oregon," Tommy said.

"Tom," Loki said. "I believe this is not the Salamanders we know."

"My last name is Salamanders, and I am the captain of this crew. You can call me Captain Joy," Captain Joy said. "Is that clear?" Her hands are behind her back and her eyes narrowed towards the stunned humans. "Good."

"Where are we?" Janet asks.

"No, let me ask the questions," Captain Joy said. "I do not allow hijackers aboard this vessel."

"We are not hijackers," Foster said.

"Shut it," Captain Joy said. "I speak to one of you; only." She turns her attention towards Tommy. "Him."

"I elect an adviser," Tommy said.

"One adviser," Captain Joy said.

"I elect Thomas Crane," Tommy said. "The spiky haired man."

Loki, somehow, is able to appear beside Tom.

"Who is your accomplices?" Captain Joy asks.

"The woman you just told to shut up is my good friend Sarah Foster a journalist for the Coos Bay Newspaper," Tommy introduces his friends. "The other woman is Janet Alice a chemical engineer, the guy with fuzzy hair is Bryan Clark my best bud, and this is my adviser Thomas Crane a lone wolf majoring in disappearing."

"I do not like a smart mouth," Captain Joy said.

"Well,I don't know what part you are referring to," Tommy said.

"The disappearing act," Captain Joy said.

Tommy looks over to Loki.

"What's your job again?" Tommy asks.

"Private Investigator," Loki lied.

Tommy turns his attention back towards Captain Joy.

"Yeah, like I said, Thomas here majors in disappearing," Tommy said. "Just call me Tom. Sarah prefer to be called Foster, Alice prefers to be called Janet,Bryan prefers to be called Clark, and my adviser prefers to be called Thomas."

Captain Joy folds her arms.

"Unbelievable," Captain Joy said.

"It is the truth," Tommy said.

"Then how did you land in the telepad?" Captain Joy asks.

"I don't know," Tommy said, with a shrug. "I was driving my buddies to SunSet Bay and then we had a UFO knock out thing. Next I know; I am here without my brand new van."

"You are telling me you randomly appeared on a planet that has creatures stalking in the darkness with bills of a sharp sword, wing blades of a dragon, and the scent to smell blood, with accomplices in federal and civilian jobs?"

Tommy turns his head towards Loki.

"Should I?" Tommy asks.

"Yes," Loki said.

Tommy turns his head towards Captain Joy.

"Yeah," Tommy said. "In a nutshell."

Loud sharp sounds occur when the ship's strong walls were hit.

"If you are not hijackers," Captain Joy said. "Perhaps you can help us get our engines back in order."

"We are not engineers," Tommy said. "At all."

"Boss; may I suggest we use them to fend off these bird beasts?" Charlice inquires.

The humans eyes widen and their faces read 'no' in horror.

"We can use the help in lifting off," Captain Joy said.
