Bethany snorted, “Got it. I’m not telling, buuuuut....” she turned her gaze on Shara with a wicked grin, “Never have I ever had a man, or woman for that matter, fight my battles.” Her eyes danced and then, “Oh and by the way Shara, I’m sending your husband a letter letting him know he’s got competition on board.” Then she broke into real fits of giggles. Bethany knew something about Shara that no one else did. She wasn’t telling but it was making life fun at the moment.

Gadi, CoS

Laila still wanting to hang on, listen to the three women, sat there half past out and barely comprehending the words that were being said. With one blink of her eyes she fell backward, a surprising soft thud sounded as she fell on her back and drifted off into a deep sleep.

Dacascos, COO

“Oh dear,” Shara said as Bethany began to react to Laila.

Despite the shine in her system, Bethany’s reflexes we’re fast (of course she’d been sitting still so the stuff hadn’t spread too far) and she reached out snagging Dacascos’ arms to slow her fall. “Shoulda given her something easier.” Bethany huffed out a sigh and got up, pausing a moment while the shine hit her fast. “Fwooo okay. Time to go home pretty. Your bed is a lot more comfy than my floor.” Bethany knelt down and lifted Laila in a fireman carry and stood, slowly, she didn’t want to drop her. “Carry on ladies, I shall return!”

Miranda wasn’t quite as fast, but one-handed helped make sure Laila’s head didn’t bounce off the deck, supporting her neck as Gadi eased her to the floor. She moved to help Gadi with the passed out Ops Chief, but she managed to get both of them upright before Miranda could be much use. “‘Kaaay.” Watching which direction Gadi went she frowned. that was back toward her quarters. She hadn’t paid attention but up until recently the space on the far side from Gadi’s quarters had been empty. Was Dacascos on the other side?

Calloway just shook her head and looked at Miranda. “I’m not sure if that counts as an initiation but it seems like it might fit the bill.”

“I dunno either. But it’s a shtart. The real fun will be at oh dark thirty when she’s gotta get up for her shifft.” Miranda grinned ,then groaned. “Ugh, I hope the warp core doesn’t make my head throb with it if I wind up with a hangover.” That would be a day in hell, for sure.

Bethany stepped out of her door and two doors down and used her security override to open the door. “Lights.” The room illuminated and Bethany carried the unconscious woman to her bed and set her down as carefully as she could. She drapped a blanket over her and then turned the lights back off as she left.

Bethany reappeared in her quarters and slipped down to her spot. She blinked her eyes wide. “Okay…that shine.... that’s....” She let out a heavy sigh, “that’s worse than shine.” She pointed a waving finger at both of them. “Don.. don’t pass out unless yer stayin. I can’t do that again without droppin’ someone.” Bethany grew up stealing shine from her uncle’s and one swallow of that stuff was enough to burn your esophagus out. This stuff was worse.

“That’s because it’s good,” Shara said, a wicked smile returning. “And don’ worry ‘bout me. I only gotta go next door.”

Bethany snorted. “Yeah and stop to spill your guts in the loo on your way.” She waved a hand, “Seriously though…you are welcome to stay and hide out.”

Chewing on the inside of her cheek, Shara pondered. “Ya know, I never got to tell her my story. Then again, it’s not for the feint of heart,”she said with a shrug.

“I guess I’ll find out later if I wind up havin’ to hold Dacascos’ hair back or something. Ash for the story, only if ya wanna.” She shrugged, then giggled a little. “I dunno if it’s better or worse, but it seems like it’d be good for two things. Degreasin’ engines and killin’ brain cells.”

Bethany shook her head, “Not sure the shiiiiine woulda helped her accept it, but only frighten her.” Bethany looked like she might say more but decided against it. It was moot. “And makin’ the most brilliant Molotov cocktails ya ever seen.”
