“Computer, run program Calloway-Alpha-2,” she called. The space morphed from the grey walls into a vast industrial space (that looked like it was on a starship) that had been converted into a massive garden. But garden was an understatement. This was no arboretum like the three they had on the Athena. No, this was a carefully designed place, meant to be explored and enjoyed, both for general relaxation but also as an outlet and a place of connection and scientific study.

She blew out a breath. “This is the garden I designed and built, with help of course, on the USS Manhattan, my last posting. My best friend sent this program to me so I would have it as a place of refuge when I needed it. I figured it could be a nice place for a meal. Makes for a great picnic spot.”

Khabal took it all in.

“Very nicely done.” he said with a huge smile and light applause, “Did you create this yourself?” he asked then vanished.

Fafye was about to answer when his sudden disappearance startled her.

At the same moment there was a loud thump like a body hitting a wall. Faye would find Khabal about twelve feet away, to her right, laying on the ground with a bloody nose. He was looking at the ceiling as his hand casually reached up and felt his bloody nose then looked casually at his blood smeared fingers and let out a kind of disappointed “Ow…”.

• Khabal

The noise made her spin and seeing him lying there she hurried over and dropped to one knee. “Whoa! What happened?” Faye said, not sure if she should help him sit up or not.

Khabal sat up with a sheepish grin not hiding his embarrassment. His nose had already stopped bleeding and the line of blood from his nose and over his chin was starting to vanish.

“I got excited and used the step forgetting that all this is actually in a small room.” Khabal explained.

“Ahh,” she said.

He gingerly touched his nose, “That’s going to be tender for a few minutes.”

• Khabal

“You’re bleeding. We should take you to Sickbay,” Faye said firmly. It was protocol, after all. “They can stop a bloody nose pretty quickly though.”

“It’ll likely be mostly healed by the time we get there but I’ll grant your wish.” Khabal said standing up.

That was an interesting tid bit and Faye filed it away for later.

Khabal was a bit embarrassed at slamming himself carelessly into the wall but the projection was stunning and he had forgotten himself until the wall abruptly reminded him.

“Lead the way?” Khabal said motioning to the exit arch.

• Khabal

Faye looked back over the simulation and then at Khabal. She nodded and headed out.

Walking along Deck 16, Faye found the nearest turbolift and called it. She stepped in when it arrived and waited for him before calling out, “Deck Twelve, Sickbay Two,” she said.

Khabal followed Faye. Even when he was relaxed, his movements were inhumanly smooth, precise, and silent.

Faye eyed him. “Is your rate of healing consistent or dependant on different variables?” She frowned. “If that is something I can ask.” After all, maybe it was a taboo. It would be like her to just stomp through undesired topics without a clue.

Khabal shrugged casually.

“You can. Between genetic engineering, nanotechnology, bioware, and what might as well be magic, a Quarm’s ability to heal damage is dependent on the amount of damage to be healed. This,” Khabal said indicating his nose, “is just a few minutes, a broken bone could take an hour. More extensive damage takes more time. The rate of healing and support is such that I can survive approximately 20 minutes of hard vacuum, without protection, before any ill effects start presenting. I am nowhere near the most powerful of my kind.”

• Khabal

She studied him as they made their way into Sickbay. “Huh,” was all she said.

Khabal smiled and shrugged sheepishly.

• Khabal

  Looking around, Faye’s stormy green eyes hunted for an available medical person.
