He blinked repeatedly, trying to clear his mind. Crouched in pain, he could not believe his plans were going so sideways. How could she give up on them so easily? It was then that he noticed his PaDD was gone. A frantic search in the dim light confirmed his initial observation. She must have it. Now, she was working with these people to keep his plan from succeeding? He screamed loudly in rage, scratching his throat with the vehemence of it. He would deal with her insolence later. Right now, he needed to get back on track. His broken nose hurt, his head hurt, but nothing would keep him from finishing what he started. Swifter than Dira would like, he was moving through the jeffries tubes. Anger and pain made his face almost purple, and spittle dripped down his mouth.

They would all feel his wrath and he would relish their screams.

Frigga heard the scream and the smell of putrid scent of anger hit her nose making it wrinkle and then she snarled and began to growl. Whoever it was was coming closer. The person’s scent mixed with fear was all over the woman she was crouched over. Frigga turned her head licking at Dira’s face trying to wake her up, all the while growling a warning. The sound of movement coming from the tube got louder and the scent stronger. She barked, it coupled with a rumbling growl in warning. Which set GALEN off again. =/\=Frigga do stop that noise. No…bad…bad dog? Yes bad dog! Do not growl at me you can’t hurt me. I’m a computer. Frigga stop right now.=/\= Frigga barked at the incorporeal voice. The steak keeper would understand something was wrong. Where was he? Frigga started to move, but she was trained to stay with the injured so she couldn’t go looking for him. She licked Dira’s face again, whining, and then moved off of her and took her good wrist in her mouth, gently, and began to tug, all the while her eyes trained on the location the smell was coming from. A low rumble giving constant warning in the silence of the corridor.

Frigga

Frigga’s barking drew Dira into consciousness again and she moaned. But it was the tugging that made her more alert. The canine was clearly agitated and directing her aggression in the direction of the storage room.

Shit. She had to move… he was coming. “Okay… I get it,” Myqian murmured, rolling herself onto her right side and pushing herself upright with her right hand. Her head spun and as she moved her left shoulder and wrist hurt deeply. She gritted her jaw. Tapping her chest, she felt that the PADD was still safely tucked in her bra.

Pulling her feet under her, the door no longer had her presence to keep it open and it slipped closed. “Okay, Frigga, good girl. We’re going to go to get help now,” she said, as much to keep herself calm as to reassure the dog.

On her feet, Dira swayed, her vision spinning. In the dimmer red alert flashing hallway it meant she needed to rely on feel just now. “GALEN… intruder alert. Summon security, Deck Nine…” She looked at the door. “Room Nine-One-Two. Maintenance access.”

“Voice access not authorized.”

“Recognize Myqian, Commander. Authorization code Myqian-Eight-Alpha-Nine-Three-Gamma-Four.”

“Code not recognized. Commander Myqian is not aboard the Ogawa.”

She growled in frustration. Of course whatever he had done had more or less removed her from the system. Moving slower than she liked, her right hand sliding along the wall to guide her, Dira walked towards the nearest turbolift which was near the arboretum where she had been last before this whole nightmare had begun.
