Aurra was already heading out the doors of sickbay when her shift officially ended. Since finding Brenner Satis there, she hadn’t done much other than worry and prickle at the idea that she might not be able to get him off the Atlantis. It bothered her that she hadn’t heard from the Captain yet. Had he actually reported to her? Better yet, had he told her why Aurra didn’t want him around. As she entered the turbolift, Talisse made a scoffing noise in her throat. There was no way he’d admitted to all of it, unless he really had changed.

That’s extremely doubtful! She grimaced at the thought. An hour later, Aurra found herself pacing the living area of her quarters, still unable to think about anything else.

“This is ridiculous! You have got to get a handle on this…” Once more, her feet traveled the path on the carpeted floor before she did a little hopping fit of rage with her fists clenched and eyes squeezed tightly shut. Finally, Aurra just stood still, trying to get her breathing under control.

A few moments passed before a noticeable change came over her and her body relaxed. She tapped her com badge. =/\=Talisse to Flexwood. Meet me in 18 Forward at 1900 hours…and wear something…nice.=/\= The handsome security officer would take her mind in another direction—and that was just what she was looking for.
