Title: Stuck Where?
Author: Chief of Operations Autumn Falls
Time: Current
Scene: USS Horizon / Tower in a forest
Having had enough adventures recently with Lieutenant Smith, Autumn had stayed
on the bridge of the Horizon whilst the away team went to investigate the
Grimalkin. Tactical were scanning the area for any signs of another ship or any
other indications that the Federation vessel had been lured into a trap, but
nothing was standing out as being out of the ordinary.
When communications with the away team ceased and contact with Starbase 9 could
not be established Autumn noticed a fluctuation in the power readings from the
controls. However, before she could investigate this she was transported in a
blue beam of light.

The room she was in was circular and made out of a material similar to stone;
the space was dominated by a four poster bed with flowing white curtains, there
was a dresser covered with toiletries and a large wardrobe. One door was in the
space and it led to a small bathroom. As Autumn moved about she realised that
there was no exit and only one window.
She crossed the room to the window, and in doing so caught sight of herself in a
full length mirror and was startled that she looked so different - the dress was
long and flowing, but she knew that just by looking down; the thing that amazed
her was her hair trailing out behind her.
*Gosh, that must be why my head hurts!* Picking the hair up she carried it all
over to the window.
Autumn had obviously struck it lucky as she was in the penthouse with a view out
over a lush green forest. She wondered if there was room service because if
there was she had found the ideal holiday spot, if you over-looked the extreme
makeover and the isolation.
"Hello? Is there anyone there?" Her call elicited no response from anyone or
anything and so the COO returned to exploring the room. In the wardrobe there
were several dresses, all exactly the same, the bathroom held lots of bottles of
hair conditioner and a diary.
Taking the diary back to the window Autumn sat on the cushioned window sill and
start to read.
'Page one - Rapunzel's diary...'
*You have got to be kidding me*
