ON:

It had been another long day and Caroline was tired and everything ached.

Assisting Dr Ki in surgery had been taxing. It had been so long since she had done some proper surgery. In fact it had been when they had to do all the work sorting Sav'eena out. She had been very angry then. Seeing the inhumane way her friend and colleague had been abused and had inflicted on her. Caroline could remember clashing with Galarez, her immediately wanting to seek these people out and destroy them.

She had been fired up for justice. But as quick as that had been, when she had got to a placement in that university she had realised that the better way …. the smarter way …. was to play the long game. For those sorts of selfish people tripped themselves up eventually.

"Computer, any messages from the Orion cluster?" she asked as she started running a bath.

"You have no messages,"

"Dam it," she stated as she poured Andorian silk soak into the tub. "I know your in that star system. I need to make some progress on this now. Every day I see Sav its more important that I find you."

"Computer play some of the calmer Nobuo Uematsu," she said out loud walking to her mirror. She stripped and got in the bath allowing herself to sink back and relax. She washed her hair, soaked for a while. Drying off she pulled on a satin nightdress and finally laid on the bed, closing her eyes and letting her mind drift off …..

-----------------------------------

"jagh yIbuStaH," - concentrate on the enemy

The person was running and in her hands was a heavy honour blade.

"jagh yIbuStaH"

A very large Klingon kept shouting the same thing.

They were coming right at them.

"Heghlu’meH QaQ jajvam" - Today is a good day to die the person suddely yelled.

An assilant beared down on the person who quickly evaded them and they dueled. The assilant ending up with the blade stabbed in their heart. All around them the klingons were victorious.

"Computer end programme" the person suddenly said. "Now play the Battle of Klach D'kel Brackt."

---------------------------------------

Caroline woke up in bed aching all over. Clearly the bath had not done the job. She decided to run another and try take two. As she striped off she noticed something unusual in the mirror. Her side was coming out in bruises.
