The Next Steps To Take

Bleep! Bleep!

A faint ringing noise echoed through the transporter room which caused Sophie to groggily open up her eyes.

Bleep! Bleep!

"Urgh… just let me sleep some more…" Sophie muttered as she yawned sleepily.

She tried to get up but there was a heavy but soft object lying down on her chest. 

Sophie took a quick glance at the mysterious object and saw Lily fast asleep with most of her tiny body curled up against her stomach.

There were tiny flecks of dried blood on the little girl's skin and hair from coming in contact with Sophie's bodysuit that was still covered in pieces of flesh.

What happened last night?

Bits and flashes of memory surfaced in Sophie's mind as she vaguely recalled stumbling while walking up the bridge and then finally entering starship.

Once she reached inside the transporter room… she could only remember collapsing to the ground and falling asleep.
