********** Hawk's Quarters *********** Sitting up in his bed Hawk decided that he had had enough if this "REST" that he was ordered to take. He would bloody well get enough rest when he was dead, or at-least that was his thought process. It had been long enough since he had his little accident left him with a thumping headache that he was eerily getting used to having. Just as he was forgetting about what a concussion felt like it seems he got another one. So he vowed he wouldn't forget this time and leave it at that. Bev had been in his room constantly checking on him, almost pouting over him to a level that was really starting to piss Hawk off. That and the layout of his quarters was as if someone designed it to piss a man off. No real reasoning to it, Hawk just felt the definite urge that things were not right and it made him mad. Bev at that moment entered the room, without even notifying him that she was at the door. Hawk lost his cool. "What the hell is your malfunction you dumb plant loving bimbo...!" Hawk said as he stood almost naked, near the door with his fists clenched tightly. She simply stood there in a state of half shock and half curiosity. She had NEVER seen or even heard of Hawk being upset to a point he showed he was mad. He was always happy go lucky or even tempered but NEVER mad, no this wasn't mad it was furious. She was rocked out of her thoughts as Hawk stepped towards her and told her to get the FISH out of his room. He shoved her out of the room. Once out of the room Hawk starting pacing back and forth like a big cat trapped in a circus cage. What the hell was going on, why was he so mad, and what is making that noise...! His thoughts turned to the sound of a horribly misaligned phase inverter somewhere on the deck. He threw on his uniform, stormed out of his quarters and made his way to engineering. Once he rounded the last turn into engineering there were two night shift engineers who instantly turned to great Hawk and speak with him. They clearly and obviously wanted to know if he was feeling better, but all he could think was why in the world they weren't FIXING that phase inverter. They had barely two words out each and Hawk snapped them off at that. "Why the hell are you two just standing down here with you "tools" in your hands? Get to deck six and fix the damn phase inverter that sounds like a cat in heat or I'm gonna skin you both and feed you to a hungry insane Klingon..!" Both stood there for a minute and looked at each other then Hawk... This wasn't Hawk, or at-least the Hawk they knew. Again hawk became impatient with the delay of someone thinking about his actions, he threw a tool at them which was lying beside him. They both jumped out of the projectiles way and moved out of Engineering. By now everyone in engineering was looking at him. Why were they all looking at him..! Hawk made eye contact with an Andorian NCO near the warp reaction chamber. He was giving Hawk an almost evil look, or so he thought. "And do I need to find something for you to do .... Grape Boy!" Hawk spoke to him as he approached. He felt an almost uncontrollable need to hit, break smash something. He felt strong, impossibly strong, completely full of energy and MAD. Before he could reach Tcn Borian, (the Andorians actual name) two oda crew entered the area. Both made a straight line for Hawk, which Hawk noticed in an instant. He at this point noted he could almost feel there presence, and they seemed to move so slow. He grinned evilly at them, he was going to get the fight he wanted. They spoke, but nothing registered, he only noted there positions, sizes, side arms, everything seemed to just be there and he knew what to do. The first marine made a gesture as to grab Hawks arm. He simply circled his arm in the air to pull away, and adopted an attack posture. As the PFC noted this he went for his side arm. Too late though, Hawk with a speed he never possessed before had already punched him square in the chest. His body went rolling away to the floor, before he could even register if he was barely injured or not the other marine moved at his back. Hawk simply lowered his posture and the marine was too close to adjust at that point. Hawk pushed back about one foot and he was back against the marine. He came up hard and slammed his head into the marines jaw. The sound of the marines teeth slamming together was all Hawk heard however. The pain shot through his head and down his spine, he suddenly remembered his concussion. He buckled under the pain and went to his knees. He looked up and noted the first marine grabbing his chest and getting up. The other marine was out cold beside Hawk. All went black as the ground came up to meet him......... ====================================================== LT jg Hawk Versey Assistant Engineering Officer USS Chimera NCC 96899-A
