SNIP

A little while later, Xandra started to wake up. It felt like she was swimming in zero G in an EVA suit. Her body felt sluggish and heavy and it was as if there was nothing to push against to wake up. Slowly her eyes opened and she looked up to see Ric. A smile slowly covered her face. And while it didn’t quite look like her usual smile, her eyes made up for it in seeing him. “I take it dinner tonight is out?” Her voice felt rough as she tried to get his attention.

(Intelligent enough to draw the curiosity of all alien mind control races lol)

As her eyes fluttered open, Ric leaned over and kissed her forehead gently. “Whatever you want, I’ll fix it. Hold on.”

Xandra laughed but winced halfway thru. “Oh, so you mean it wasn’t your cooking that put me here in the first place?” She was teasing him. A good sign she was starting to feel better.

Ric went to call the doctor and inform him that Xandra was awake. On his way back, he stopped to get her a cup of water with a straw. Lifting her head just a bit, he added, “Not too much. Go easy.”

When she finished, Ric lowered her head back to the pillow. “Feeling like yourself again?”

Ricochet (CAG)

Xandra gratefully took the sip of water and tried to sit up. “I have a splitting headache, and still feel like I’m covered in weights. But I think I’m ok. I just want out of here.” She was trying to struggle out of the biobed but as fast as she thought she was going, her body was moving slow.

Pilot
(GM, she still in danger?)

“Yeah, well, you were fighting the mind control pretty hard. You’re probably gonna be sore for a couple days, at least.”

Ric placed his hands on her shoulder and leg, gently forcing Xandra back down. You’re not going anywhere, just yet, not until the Doc says so. Then I’ll carry you home.”

He smiled and kissed her forehead.

“Mind control? Seriously?” She hated to let him do it, but she settled on her back on the bed once more. “I must have a yummy brain. That’s twice now. Three times I’m gonna have to design my own medal.” She tried to laugh it off but it was forced. She was scared, and he’d see that thru the half smile. “Am I going to lose my flight status?” It was her top concern. Her second one made her frown a bit more. “And are you really going to carry me back to our quarters?” The look she gave him said she would probably fight him on that score. She didn’t need to be carried like an invalid.

He smiled genuinely and replied, “Consider it practice, like,you know. . . carrying you over the threshold.”

Having decided to finally leave engineering Vega wanted to get an update on her injured crewman. She walked through the doors and looked around to see if there were any medical personnel, or engineering staff to get answers from.

  • Lieutenant Vega Dal

bump 8.25.20

Ric turned to look as the engineer entered Sickbay. He tilted his head in the direction he had last seen the CMO. “Doc is right. . . . ” then no longer seeing the doctor, “was right over there. I don’t know where he got off to.”

OOC: Calling Dr. Doolittle or the CMO Schweitzer

Ricochet (CAG)

Seeing him glance around and hearing the Doc wasn’t in the room, she smiled. “Guess I can leave, huh?” She laughed a bit more genuinely this time.

Xandra
Pilot

“Seriously, though, I’m not ready to take you off active duty yet. We’ll figure something out. Maybe we can take a trip to Vulcan and let someone teach you how to put up some mental blocks, or give you some training. You can’t be that weak-minded. Hell, the only way I can tell what you’re thinking is when you get the gleam in your eye and that seductive smile on your face.”

Ricochet (CAG)

The over the threshold comment had caught her off-guard. They had been dating over a year now and had been sharing his larger quarters for the majority of that time. They had been more than capable of keeping it professional when it was needed, but times like this reminded her they were a couple first in his mind. It warmed her and bolstered her like no medication the Doc could have given her a hypo for. “Practice, eh? I’m thinking more like practice carrying me cause you did something overly stupid and I feinted from shock.” She laughed and sighed as her hand tightened its grip on his.

“Honestly, though, Ric. I’m serious. I don’t know if what happened is because I’m weak minded, my access to you and the Command staff or what. I just know I’m starting to doubt my thoughts.” She looked up at him. “I dreamt I killed you. Obviously I didn’t, but I wonder just how much of whatever it is is still there? I’d feel better if I was back in our quarters and away from anyone I can hurt for a while. Maybe,” she sighed and looked down at their clasped hands. “Maybe I need to move back into my own quarters till we are sure I’m not going to hurt you at all.” She still wasn’t aware she had been the one to put the bruises on his neck. But something in the back of her mind was trying to tell her something.

“Did they ever find that woman and baby? I’m worried she’ll hurt others if they try and take the child from her.” Her concern was odd since he had told her it was the woman and child that had controlled her mind.

Xandra
Sehlat

OOC: All this time, I hoped someone would post about the baby arriving at sickbay … :)

IC: One of the doctors examining the baby suddenly said, “This doesn’t seem right …”

GM

Having been so caught up in her own issues and then waking up, Xandra hadn’t been aware of a baby till the doctor spoke up. The fact something was ‘off’ was what resonated most with her from his voice. “What’s not right?” She asked, trying to see where the doctor was and what wasn’t right. She still couldn’t see the baby with his and Ric’s bodies in the way.

Xandra
Pilot

Ric had been so wrapped up in Xandra’s condition, he hadn’t been aware of the child’s appearance in sickbay either. Almost in unison with her, he asked “What’s not right?’

Turning from where he was, he saw the baby and froze. Pointing in the child’s direction, he yelled “Keep that kid away from here!!! I swear, I’ll shove it out an airlock!!!!”

Ricochet (CAG)

The sensors showed that the baby was human but their eyes told them different. There were two ridges on its forehead. They were not as pronounced as one would expect from a Napean baby, but there was not mistaking it. The baby was gurgling with delight at the sight of Xandra. It was exhibiting irritation when the doctor was examining him but now it was smiling and calm.

GM

As Ric’s voice rose, she grabbed his arm. Fear lit her own eyes, but for a different reason. “Ric, stop! It’s just a baby.” She sat back up on the bed to try and get a better look. Her features softening automatically at the small child cooing at her. “They aren’t hurting you,” she said to try and reassure the small infant. “It’s ok…”

Oddly enough, despite her trying to calm the crying baby, the hand she had on Ric’s arm was shaking. Slowly she turned to him and the soft lines of her face slowly melted away into questioning realization. “That’s the thing that’s controlling people? I don’t understand… how? It’s just a baby…” She was remembering Ric saying the baby had made her do… something. And her mind fought to try and remember, even as her eyes went to his neck.

Xandra
Pilot

She saw a probe that would produce a Hyperencephalogram lying next to the baby. The doctor was probably trying to use it on the baby. That was why the baby was irritated.

GM

He squeezed her hand reassuringly. ‘It’s not going to control you again, Xan. I’m not going to let it!!!”

He stepped cautiously forward. “Doc, whatever you do, DON’T let the kid touch you!”

Ricochet (CAG)
