Kaylee Baxter (Chief Diplomatic Officer) in Deck 44 Cargo Bay 3 - Main Sim : : : : : : : : : : : Posted by Commander Adam Chryst (XO) in Deck 44 Cargo Bay 3 - Main Sim : : : : (snip) : : : : : : : : : : : : : Once again Kaylee had been caugh off guard as the ship shuddered again and she was tossed off balance, feeling her ankle twist as her weight was uneven on the heels of her boots and a pain shot up her leg as she went crumbling to the deck once more. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : As she landed hard on the deck, her hip taking most of the brunt force, she cried out in pain. For a moment she just lay there, breathing deeply. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “Konral?” Kaylee called out softly, gingerly moving to a seated position. She was afraid she hadn’t caught the medical Ensign’s name, so she just addressed her by rank. “Ensign, I think I need your assistance.” She winced as her ankle throbbed in pain and her hip felt as though it were on fire. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Looking over at Kaylee Konral placed his rifle down as he come over to her, he knew there was a medical kit in the cargo by nearby and squeezed her shoulder as he took off. “I will get the emergency kit.” he said to her as he made it over. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : -Kaylee Baxter : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Had the ship not just turned inside out once more, Karina would have made it into the hall and towards the bridge. As it was, she fell once more to her knees and had to close her eyes a moment as the world spun and took her stomach for a ride. When she heard Kaylee cry out, her instincts to protect kicked in. She turned and half crawled to the woman and settled on her heels before her. “I heard you fall. This whole ship in and out of warp has to stop. I can’t imagine how many others are being hurt for his… pleasure… or whatever it is.” There was a bit of venom in her voice, now. She had been enthralled with him at first. He was handsome, his smile was amazing, and those eyes… : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Mentally she shook herself again and let her anger rise once more to clear her head. “Where did you hurt yourself?” She smiled and relaxed, slipping into medical mode once more. “You can call me Karina. I don’t think we’ve actually met yet.” The small laugh eased a bit more tension from her. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Karina Niles : : : : : : : : : : : : Medical : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Flicker....Adam strode around one of the Cargo containers, something had indicated that there was a disturbance here, he was not certain what it was. Apparently Konral would no more, and as he spotted him he headed that direction, oddly on the exact converse of the path the computer had predicted that the intruder had fled. Convergences, or coincidences. “Ensign Niles, Please see to the Counsel”….Flicker : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Commander Adam Chryst, Executive Officer USS Athena NCC 17819-D : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaylee gasped. This time not from the pain but from the sudden appearance of the XO and subsequent disappearance. She let out a sharp “OH!”, before turning her attention back to Karina. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “I think I’ve twisted my ankle,” Kaylee said, indicating which one. “And I landed pretty hard on my hip, I’m sure it’s going to leave a nasty bruise.” She cast her gaze around where she had last seen Adam. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “Did you… did you see that?” She asked, curious as to why Adam made a reference to her as the Counselor when she no longer held that position. Very odd. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : -Kaylee Baxter : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Vander, CoS : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Karina frowned, nodding, as the man flicked out mid sentence. “Ummm… Counsel… as in Counselor?” She glanced at Kylee. “But you aren’t the counselor I checked in with before…” She was a little confused. : : : : : : : : : : : : “No,” Kaylee said, shaking her head. “I was the Counselor on board a number of years ago.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Shaking her head and pushing the thought to the back of her mind, she looked at Kylee. “A bruise, or rather, several, is definitely going to happen. As to your ankle,” she ran the tricorder over it. “It’s strained but not broken. Unfortunately, it also means there isn’t much but time I can offer you in way of healing. Broken bones can be knit, but pulled ones need care.” She glanced for the young man who had gone in search of the med kit. “We will bind it tight for now. It will help control the swelling and allow you to at least limp, with care, mind you, back to your quarters. But hot soaks, ice packs and staying off it for a day or so would be my normal response.” She shook her head glancing once more to where the man had just disappeared. “But something tells me you’ll want me to just double bind it and give you a pain block to get thru the rest of… whatever ‘this’ is.” She smiled sympathetically at the woman. She was familiar enough with her kind… stubborn to the end. This woman wouldn’t crawl off to medical and take up a bed for two days. She was the kind who would brace her whole leg if need be and keep chasing the anomalies. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : “But I warn you, if you fall again on it badly, the break with be enough for me to sedate you and seriously take you out of the game for a while. So please have a care.... yes?” She smiled hoping the seriousness would sink in, but the cruelty of it wouldn’t. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Ensign Karina Niles : : : : : : : : Medical : : : : : : : : : : : : “You’re a dear,” Kaylee said. “Do what you can do now and I’ll be careful.” She let out a sigh. “I promise once I get a chance I will pop in to Sickbay for a thorough check-up.” : : : : : : : : : : : : : : All of a sudden there was a plaintive meow. It originated from the top of a small cargo container. Sitting atop the cargo container was a very pretty but very purple cat. It’s large amber eyes were looking at them as if wanting some attention. It started to casually wash itself. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist (GMT) : : : : : : : : : : : : Kaylee reached over and gently touched Konral on the arm, as Karina was working on her, making eye contact with the doctor, as to get her attention to what she would be saying. : : : : : : : : : : : : “Konral, there’s a cat,” She whispered, not wanting to startle the animal. : : : : : : : : : : : : -Kaylee Baxter : : : : : : : : : : The cat looked at them with bold eyes and then jumped down from the cargo container and headed to the door out into the corridor. The doors swished open and then the cat bolted around the corridor and started heading for the turbolift. The ship rocked as a salvo from another ship tore into Athena’s shields. : : : : : : : : : : Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist (GMT) : : : : : : : : =/\=Attention all hands, this is the Captain speaking. All hands abandon ship. I repeat, abandon ship. This is not a drill. You have ten minutes.=/\= : : : : : : : : Fl. Captain Koraia, CO : : : : : : Konral’s eyes flashed as he heard the statement. Looking over at the Cat then them. “Pick up that animal, report to security protocols and get to the escape pods now.” Konral said as he began to coral them all. His duty was clear now, he had to get everyone to safety. : : : : : : Vander, CoS : : : : Karina was finishing with the young woman when the purple feline leapt down and darted passed them. The klaxons and alarm, as well as the orders to abandon ship, made the doctor frown. “I just ‘got’ here…” she muttered to herself and realized all she owned in her life was still in a couple bags, and cargo containers, still in their packing phase. She hadn’t bothered to unpack in the few days she had been there. Too much had happened. A slight giggled escaped her lips as she murmured, “Well at least they won’t break before they disintegrate.” : : : : She helped Kaylee to her feet and frowned. “All right, you heard the men… let’s skedaddle…” She nodded to Vander and made sure Kaylee was balanced before turning to him. “I’m sticking to your side, like it or not. Cause if you help someone, it’s probably because they need my help as well.” Her words were not asking for permission, or tenderly broaching the subject. They were an adamant statement of fact that would lead the man to believe he had no say in the matter. : : : : Ensign Karina Niles : : Medical : : The cat appeared at the door way and gave a plaintive meow, it’s purple eyes were direct and unafraid. It seemed to be motioning to them with it’s tail almost as if to say “Hurry up!”. : : Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist. : “I’m fine, you two go,” Kaylee said, nodding. “I’m going to follow our little friend here.” She didn’t think it was a coincidence that this creature had appeared just after their time traveling friend. Despite their current state of emergency, she felt as though she needed to follow the cat, much as Alice did with the white rabbit. Maybe even down the rabbit hole, so to speak. : “All right,” Kaylee said, approaching the cat. “What is it you want to show me?” : -Kaylee Baxter

The little creature seemed to be particularly gratified that it was being followed and start heading unerringly for the nearest escape pod. Tail twitching in the air as it ran it seemed to be agitated but at the same time calm. There was something deep down in those eyes, a purpose, an implacable fortitude.

“Kaylee what are you doing? We need to leave, just grab the cat…” Konral said before focusing on the cat. Something felt off in his cat as he began to reach his mind out to the cat. Even animals gave off telepathic signals, and he didn’t want to feel surprised again.

Vander, CoS

Kayee gave Konral a stare. “This cat seemed to want us to follow it. It can’t be a coincidence that it appeared right after our visitor disappeared.” She let out a sigh, realizing that they were having to abandon their home. She entered in her code on the keypad on the bulkhead to open to door to the escape pod. Then she reached down to pick up the cat, or usher it into the open pod, whichever it preferred.
