The Ship

"Intrusion alert!"

"Humanoid species detected within force-field."

"Mode of entry… Command locket…"

"Subject's blood verified… Humanoid."

"Body structure verified… Juvenile."

"DNA and RNA contained within the subject's leukocytes confirmed… Low-level life-form. No advanced lethal weapons discovered on subject…"

"Preliminary assessment completed successfully. Intrusion countermeasures suspended…"

"Computing further parameters of subject…" A high-pitched robotic feminine voice announced once Hugo's form manifested within the enclosure of the ship's barrier.

"Is there someone inside?" Hugo thought out loud as he tried to orient himself to his surroundings. He had mysteriously been deposited behind the emerald barrier by the enigmatic locket still clutched tightly in his right hand.
