The young woman was pretty enough. Willowy with long ash-blonde hair. Her black uniform seemed to be military, given the weapon holster on her hip, though it was tailored perfectly to her. Perhaps a bit more like an actress playing at being a soldier, amusing as that misconception might be to her, all things considered. Her company patch was a grinning skull wearing a jester's cap at a jaunty angle. On her wrist was some sort of communications device. Lots of buttons, very high tech, and very expensive looking. The headset rig she was wearing also looked to be on the higher end of things.
She had been getting everyone settled and into Beddy-bye in command central when the call had come in to Wake. Whatever that meant. She had been reaching to answer the call, to tell whoever it was that the top brass had all settled in for the night when she found herself here. Alone. Confused.
She frowned slightly, and started looking around. Landmarks, cover, or some sign she was still on Zenoba. It was clear rapidly that the last one was false. So. Not Zenobia. Not Landoor, not Haskin's planet, sure as space not a space station. So... where was she?

"Alright, kiddies. Mother here, and last I looked this wasn't any Legion base I've ever seen. So, got a few questions for you all, if you've an ear to listen. One is where am I. Should be simple enough unless this is some sort of mass kidnapping scheme."
[Nanites? That... was possible. But why would they?]
"The second should be obvious enough to anyone with as much sense as their momma gave them, and that's how do I get to somewhere I know. Ideally Zenobia, but since half the known universe has never heard of it, I'd settle for a ticket to the Fat Chance Casino on Lorelei. I've got the coins to pay my way, so not askin' for a dime from you nice people, just directions to the nearest shuttle headed my way. So, whatcha say. Think you could kindly help a girl out?"
[And if they were all kidnapped too... well... The Captain would help. She just knew he would. Once she got done explaining it to him, anyway.]
