She was cradling her arm as she headed for medical. The holo program had won, again. At least, this time, it hadn’t drawn blood. She had deflected the blow of the blade, but her hand had twisted at an odd angle and something had popped. She hadn’t given it any thought till two more strikes later, her fingers went numb and she had dropped the blade. She stopped the holo before the Klingon warrior could slice back towards her unprotected midsection.

But now, here she was, an hour before end of second shift, walking into medical and heading straight for the far wall where several drawers and cabinets lined the wall. She was looking for the pain hypo and a muscle relaxer. The drawers had been rearranged since the last time she was on the ship. A soft frown lit her face as she moved thru the drawers, careful to not mess the contents up. A nurse walked by commenting on the holo winning yet another one. Lissi smiled and shook her head. “Yeah… At least no blood this time,” she said as the nurse went went around the corner.
