Waking up, Nalla laid on the bed unsure of what to do next.  If it were true that the creatures had overrun the ship and captured the crew, there was very little Nalla could do.  She could attempt to run to one of the lifeboats and jettison herself into uncharted space, it would be a slow death unless she found a habitable would but at least she would be free of the creatures.  Of course, that would only work if the lifeboats hadn't been disabled or jettisoned already.  And she wasn't so selfish as to abandon her friends.<br/><br/>She could blow up the ship.  The creatures probably anticipated that and would never let her get close to the engine room to set off the reactor.  Not that she knew how anyway.  Scratch that idea.<br/><br/>She wasn't much of a fighter, so taking on the aliens like some action superhero was definitely out of the question.<br/><br/>Suicide or surrender were her only options.  She could find the right pills to do the trick painlessly in here.  It would be quick too.  Again, she valued her life too much and wouldn't abandon her friends so selfishly.<br/><br/>Nalla was exhausted, despite having gone through an entire regenerative cycle.  She wanted to sleep, but she didn't know if she could.  Those creatures could come back at anytime and who could say that a locked door would stop them for long.  She got up off the bed and made her way slowly to her cryo chamber.  It was as safe a place as any.  She opened the door, entered, and locked it behind her.  She then fell onto the cryo bed.<br/><br/>Her eyes became heavy and closed as she fell asleep.
