Have a plotbunny, then... emphasis on "bunny".
Earth
Kelly always thought that one of the perks of running the Hotel Stellvia was the vacations; she got to visit exotic locations, see how the locals ran their hotels, and write the trips off as business expenses.
She wasn't thinking this trip was a perk.
She'd visited Colombo this time around, hoping to see the sights as well as the hotel. But a group claiming to be connected to the LTTE had taken her hostage, along with the rest of the tour group she was in. She'd barely had time to call her employer before her satellite phone was confiscated and she was put in a cage to be shown off as "an abomination to nature". The fact that they didn't mention Allah hinted they probably weren't really LTTE, but it didn't really matter who had taken them hostage.
She'd managed to keep her PDA, though... and her captors didn't know it had built-in 'Wave-Fi.
Stellvia
As soon as he lost the connection to Kelly, Noah told his staff to connect him with the closest heavy-reaction squad who were willing to work on Earth. He didn't have the forces he needed to rescue his employee, but that didn't change the fact that Stellvia Takes Care Of Its Own.
Now he was on a conference call.
"... her name is Kelly Harrison. You can't miss her; she biomodded as a bunny-girl. Literally - white fur, long ears, and for all I know maybe a powderpuff tail as well. She uses the same emergency squack frequency that everybody else on Stellvia uses; you can home in on that if she still has her PDA. I want her back here alive and unharmed. Rescuing the other hostages would be nice, too. Don't bother looking for her satellite phone; I sent it a self-destruct code five minutes ago. Do we have a contract?"
This can happen any time after 2009, which is when Kelly joined the staff at the Hotel Stellvia. As for the story itself, you're on your own from here; I have other stories on the go.
