Posted by Lieutenant Faye Calloway (Mission Specialist) in Side Sim: It’s Been a While, But…
The sleep aide had helped. It had been more than a cat nap and in fact she had managed a few hours of sleep before her mind had drifted into the bizarre place that was her subconscious. And it was there that sleep became a dangerous thing.This time there was no one to wake her from her night terror.
Throwing a light grey oversized knit sweater over the form fitting black garment, Faye padded out into her living room. “Computer, time?”
=/\=The time is 0207 hours.=/\=
“Great,” she muttered. Going back to sleep was unlikely, and it was too early to call the counsellor as the captan had instructed.
But then a beep at her computer told her there was an incoming call. Frowning, Faye moved over to her desk and sat down, her brows lifting as she saw it was coming from the USS Athena. That was odd. She didn’t know anyone there. And it was rather a coincidence that she was even in her quarters. For all this person knew, she was still in the brig under charges and the call would have gone unanswered. Despite looking exhausted and very much like she had been through the ringer, Faye reached out and opened the call, her curiosity once again getting the better of her.

As the screen came to life Hammor saw Faye for the first time in many months, and for a minute he froze before he stammered “Fa- er, Lieutenant Calloway? I don’t know if you remember me… Daggum Hammor? I was on the Manhattan? We arrived pretty close to the same time? I was the new Ops Chief and you had just come on to install the new comms relay. Which… uh… I guess was successful.. since… we’re uh… talking… now… and everything.”
His brain screamed at him to relax and he took a deep breath and calmed himself a bit. “I hope I didn’t wake you. I had no way of knowing what your ship’s time was at the moment…”
