Edg'rrr returned the panel as the main doors slid open. The officer stepping through with a tray of various colored cubes had a complexion of a worn out punching bag. "Feedin' time. So says our beloved captain." Said the officer as Edg'rrr walked to a line on the floor about half a meter from the force field. He had been thinking about this plan for awhile and luckily it might just be the only way to escape. "Dun' try it fur boy. Orders or not I'll be sure to break a few thins in ya."

"Then let us hope nothing goes awry.". Said Edg'rrr as the field collapsed with the officer handing over the tray. As Edg'rrr took it the officer stepped back running a hand over a sensor in the side. When the field didn't collapse they pondered but Edg'rrr made his move. Taking the tray in hand he snapped it against the officer's leg jumping onto them. The officer took a fist into Edg'rrr's side but with a claw Edg'rrr cut the officer up the chest. Enraged the officer shoved Edg'rrr off grabbing his phaser but realized it wasn't there. Edg'rrr noticed it on the floor between them off towards the cell.

The officer dashed towards it until Edg'rrr noticed the tray on the floor to his right and in a rapid motion ran and kicked it into the path of the officer. With one fluid motion the officer stumbled and tripped into Edg'rrr's cell banging there head on the bed knocking themselves out. Running over and picking up the weapon he tampered with the panel on the side of the cell reactivating the force field and trapping the officer. "Good night nameless henchmen.". Said Edg'rrr as he turned and ran out of the room.

Wherever he was or ship he was on definitely looked like a typical Starfleet ship. Even the carpeted floors didn't feel out of place. He took a look at the walls before finding a Jeffries tube hatch and crawled in. Traveling a ways inward he took a breath sitting down and leaning against a wall. "Not out yet ol' buddy.". He relaxed for a moment fiddling with the phaser to allow a crude low level stun setting before continuing onwards. His next step was finding supplies. Exiting into a new hallway he stunned a random ensign and dragged their body into the tube taking there combadge and padd before sitting them back outside in the hallway.

"Okay let's see something.". Said Edg'rrr quietly to himself as he hacked into the ship from a processing node deep with the maze of tubes. As it loaded the data he took out one of the food cubes from a pocket munching on it. The taste was something like mashed potatoes with the texture associated with the rough skin of a fruit. Surprisingly not too bad Edg'rrr thought. The padd finished as the master display of a Curiosity class ship appeared. "ISS Rosalind Franklin. Oh boy."
