Snip

“Easy there Lt.,” Calvin stated catching her fist instead of just deflecting it. A small twitch occurred at the edges of his mouth as he noted her first reaction was to come out swinging instead of talking. It probably had something to do with living with nine brothers. Brothers could be idiots just on principle or maybe it was just an overactive fight vs flight response.

Given the captain’s condition Dagen was pretty impressed with his ability to catch the swing. Reflex perhaps?

“Can you stand?” His comment was not meant to be callous but instinct from his Marine training. Staying in one place too long never was a good thing. While he was not too concerned with the minimal security he found so far, Calvin needed his two officers on their feet to test out a hypothesis that was trying to form in the middle of the migraine pounding in his brain.

As Vanessa woke up her hand immediately moved up to her face towards her temple. “Fah me,” she mumbled out knocking the device from her face. Feeling someone next to her, Vanessa immediately balled up her fist and swung as hard as she could toward where she thought the person’s face was. She had no desire to wake up again with Prune Face barking out orders. Her head was pounding as if she had just woken up from an epic shore leave on Risa.

Waiting for the two women to wake up or react, they may or may not have been looking at the monitor above the bio beds showing the device seemed to be taking readings from the Temporal lobes of the two women’s brains.

At one point Dagen did glance up and saw that there was scanning happening. He could get that far in his thinking, however with the pounding in his own head and his not being a medical practitioner - any memories he had from Thor’s host would be sadly out of date - so his own sense that ‘something was happening’ was about as far as he went on that. “Something’s happening,” he said, speaking of the scans and the needle retraction.

“Is Reia waking up,” Calvin asked hoping her reaction was the same as Vanessa only less combative.

“She’s a pretty heavy sleeper,” Dagen said, not relishing a swing from her Orion side. “Hang on.” He leaned and whispered “Morning sunshine,” in her ear, something familiar to Reia and hopefully one that would not instill a reaction.

Reia screamed out, in pleasure or in pain one couldn’t be certain. Blindly she turned and reached for the familiar voice. She must have grabbed something of her husband’s. Pulling him closer to her she whispered horsley…

Dagen winced at the scream that was not far from his ear then grunted as her grip confirmed her blind aim was a little too good. Her whisper was none too much of a whisper to Dagen and he was ever reminded that his wife had little respect for time and waking her was often an experiment in being late for shift or nearly so.

“Bring me some coffee and climb into bed, you know how to make me feel better wild man.”

“Not tonight dear, I have a headache,” he said with a grimace from now multiple pains competing for attention. Were he a hologram or projection he sure felt that all this was real. It seemed utterly surreal that he may not be real but the heat from Reia and how her breath tickled his whiskers made it feel all so real. “The Captain is here and needs us, love.” Whether that would snap her to attention he wasn’t sure .. or at least more awake. What would she think of the two of them looking more zombie like than real at this point.
