Setting: P338451, a dark room located somewhere beneath the settlement
Her head hurt. Her hands and arms hurt. Her entire body hurt. Lea forced her eyes open and moaned as the same dark walls greeted her toa new day. How long had it been since the CMO had been captured? How many days had she spent in this room? Weeks? Months? Years? Without windows Lea could only guess at the passage of time.
The food Lea had received had not followed any pattern as to when it was given. At least the fruits she did get had been tasty, but it had been just enough to keep the CMO alive.
Lea tried to stand but found it impossible to do so. The pain in her legs had been too much for the CMO to bear. Maybe today would bedifferent and her captors would give Lea a day to rest. A day torecuperate from the tests she had been submitted to.
Lea's breathing hastened as she heard echoes of footsteps beyond thedoor. Each muffled thump made the CMO's heart beat faster as thefootsteps drew closer. Although weak and in pain Lea managed to pushherself to the far wall. As useless as the gesture had been it wasthe only action the CMO could take as an act of self preservation.
Trapped like an animal in a cage Lea could do nothing but wait.Escape had been impossible, and the one previous attempt severelypunished. The CMO began to cry as the footsteps moved past the door. Maybe theywould come back, but for now Lea had been safe.
