The armored figure walked right past the sprawling Jules, continuing to strike more targets.  Before Jules could fully recover, a small, inquisitive face, looking like a frog with bug eyes, stared at her from above.  It tilted its head, then produced a syringe and injected Jules in the neck.  The convulsions stopped, but Jules was unable to move.  Suddenly, Jules felt the creature pick her up, and Jules got to watch the deck below move until she was placed on a gurney.  From there, she was taken to one of the alien ships.<br/><br/>Inside the ship, Jules would feel the aliens peel her clothes and armor off, leaving her completely bare.  They fitted a collar and cuffs around her, then placed her gently on the deck inside a room.  The ability to move returned soon after, and Jules would find herself naked in a room of similarly naked humans, male and female, all of them looking dejected and beaten.  Most were sitting, trying to conceal their nudity, while some stood defiant, as if they wore their normal uniforms, uncaring that they were exposed.  One approached.<br/><br/>"I'm Colonel O'Neal, 1st Division 3rd Company, UNSC Marines.  Are you alright?  Any lingering side-effects of the drugs?"<br/><br/>The Colonel was getting up there in age but he had a rock-solid physique and was certainly well endowed.  He seemed to be the leader, as everyone else watched him but kept to themselves.  He helped Jules to one of the tables nearby, seating her down where she wouldn't have quite so many eyes on her.  His face was worn with age, as if he'd been working his whole life, but his eyes still showed compassion for the young woman, as if he cared for her.  He seemed to give this look to everyone, because a young woman came up and whispered in his ear, "I'll see to Victoria later, Becky.  I need to speak to this young woman first."  He looked back, "My apologies.  We still have wounded from our own capture a few months ago.  They send in a doctor from time to time but, I try to keep the worst from being seen in case the docs decide to haul more off to their labs."
