There was a list of things that one is willing to undergo when they agree to be the captain of a crew, one of the main things is making sure that the people underneath their care are taken care of. When the cards had been down and the decision between herself and The Twilight Brigade had been presented before Asperaga, there was no hesitation. It hadn't even been twelve hours since the event had happened, a small job that was supposed to earn them some net worth had gone awry. It hadn't been any of their fault, instead it had been the fault of a random civilian vehicle that caught them and made sure to report them to the local authorities. The entire team, Asperaga included, had been caught off guard when suddenly dozens of officers had been encroaching on their position and they were faced with a choice; drop the goods or get arrested. But Asperaga was a woman who made her own decisions, the crew had always trusted her command and never led her astray even in the time they had all been together, some more than others. So she made the call, for the team to run with the cargo while she took the attention of the authorities instead. Having undergone a transformation into that of a Giant Ape, she had easily taken the attention of their pursuers. The Saiyan woman wasn't weak in the slightest, but they had simply action economy on her at the end.
Of course, Asperaga wasn't alone when she had decided to sacrifice herself for the crew's sake. Despite her protesting and command, there was a member of her crew who refused to be outshone by the Captain. Tekina, a Heran warrior, and someone she had come to see as a kind of rival. The other woman's drive to do better, for the crew and the ones that she loved, was something that Asperaga had come to admire about her; although she could be hard-headed sometimes. The current moment being a perfect example. Although Asperaga had wanted everyone to get out safely, including Tekina, the woman had let her pride make her decisions for her and she joined the Captain in her attack. So the two of them had been imprisoned, set to a fate of living as a prisoner as the officers decided what thei penance would be. Though, Asperaga was not concerned with what they had to say. Her crew trusted her and listened to her commands but the thing about trust is that it is a two way street. The Captain of the Twilight Brigade trusted every member on her crew and knew damn well that she wouldn't be left to rot in this back alley cell.
Normally she would have been able to break herself out but at the display of her Giant Ape form, a special set of containment cuffs had been placed on her. It was at this time that the woman took a moment to examine herself and the cell that she was contained in. It was a modest sized room, with enough space to contain cot that was mounted into the wall, and a simple toilet area, with walls raised just enough to hide a person's body but so a taller person would be seen over the top. The wall that the cot was attached to was of some thick metal alloy, the door to her cell being made of a shimmering energy field, while the walls on either side of her were made of some translucent material. This allowed her to see the outline of the people in other cells on either side of her, on one side was Tekina and on the other was someone she had yet to interact with.
Asperaga sat calmly on the cot with her back against the wall, one leg propped up on the bed so that her knee was bent, arms resting around said knee. Her hands were hidden from her behind a metal contraption that not only stopped her transformations but also seemed to forcefully suppress her Power Level. They had removed all of her golden jewelry, even the belt that her had normally worm. The Captain looked a bit disheveled from the combat, her hair a tossed mess while her clothes were slightly scorched and torn in several places. Despite her appearance though, she wore an almost arrogant smirk on her lips as she rested with her eyes closed as she spoke the first words the entire time that they sat here, "So Tek, how do those cuffs feel? I think I could get used to wearing mine."
