When Anderson came to, she was bound upside down in the middle of the cargo bay, at least she could presume it was a cargo bay. In the center of a lush and verdant room,
growth no doubt spurred by the heat and humidity, was a woman sitting on a makeshift throne made of branches and flowers. She was clad in the tattered remains of an Ensign’s science uniform, her eyes bloodshot red with emerald irises. Her skin was green and covered with fungal fruiting bodies, her hair gave the appearance more of bark with flowers in it than anything else.

As she came to she realised he was upside down and hanging in a cargo bay. Lillian looked around and saw the Jungle had claimed this place. it took a few minutes to notice there was a person in the room with her as it spoke she noted that it was a woman waring what was left of an ensign uniform.

“Who are you,” the woman asked in a soft but firm voice. “Why have you come here?”

So this life form was intelligent after all not just acting.
“I am Cadet Anderson of the USS Challenger, we came here to help the officers and crew of this vessel.” Lillian tried to sound as in control as she could being as to she was upside down and just a little Afraid of what se was seeing.
“we only seek to take them to safety.”
Lillian hoped to open a dialog with the Lifeform that had taken over the Nameless ensign.

“Star fleet,” the plant woman growled back at the cadet. “You foolish children harvested us from the planet then sought to take us away from our homes. Your precious crew-mates are slowly becoming my protectors, part of my forest, and you… you will join them too.”

Shortly there after the woman was distracted by the sound of the vines growing taught and the COS being dragged in as well, eventually being hung upside down next to Anderson. “Two more. Well maybe I can finally break into that room where the captain is holed up and rid this ship once and for all of this infestation.”

As the plants hung her upside down, Nijix imagined Raji laughing in her head. * ‘I knew that overprotectiveness was going to get you into trouble one day. I wonder if you’ll ever eat salad after this.’* She resisted looking like a crazy Trill and didn’t answer her imagination’s teasing. She inhaled and gently tested her restraints, inching her fingers closer to active her combadge. Hopefully, she could and allow the XO to listen in.

“I feel like I’ve missed some important conversation. I don’t suppose you’ll let me ask questions and try to understand why you’re doing this?” Nijix asked the strange woman while she slowly pulled at the vines on her neck. It allowed her to speak easier. Her voice remained calm as she pushed down the fear, eyeing her Cadet’s condition from the corner of her vision. Unlike her, Raji had tricks and tips on how to keep a cool head in tense situations. So she used that to remain clear-minded.

The woman considered Nijix a moment then waved her hand, the vines loosening their grip around the COS’ neck and upper torso such that she could more easily breath and talk. “I am sure you have many questions, such as why I am doing this, who am I, things of that nature, yes? Allow me to preempt you. I am… Well I have adopted your name of Sammi. I speak for all creatures aboard this ship, including those harvested from our world against our will. Without our permission! You will pay!”

The vines started to quake when Sammi got angry but soon settled down. “Now where was I? Oh yes. It is lucky for you that your bodies are fit and suitable for… what is the term this vessel used? Apotheosis. This one was quite eager.” She then looked towards a door where two other creatures entered. From the rags on their bodies they appeared to be a Security and Engineering officer, though of what specific race it was hard to tell. Both of their skin was an ashy green and their eyes white and cloudy that belied the grace with which they moved. “Ah Flotsam and Jetsam… Tell me, what news of the rest of the ship? Have you been able to get to that miserable captain and her remaining hold outs?”

The engineering officer, Jetsam, shock his head. “There are others. The hinder our progress.”

Lillian could not believe what was going on around her. Lillian Knew that CoS was trying to get more information from there captor.
Lillian was working on get the vines to loosen on her arms but that was not going well.
It was the strangest thing the people where plant hybrids
“we could take your people back to there world we did not know you where self aware” Lillian hoped that this would keep them talking and give the CoS a chance to formulate a plan to get them out of here.
