====== Hawk's Quarters ===== ...the next morning after his stay in sick bay... Sitting at the end of his bed, head sitting in his hands, Hawk had tried to remember everything that had happened over the past few days. From what Rick told him when he awoke in sickbay he had been a naughty boy. He had basically chewed out a good majority of the C-Shift engineers. Then went to starting a fight with Tcn Borian but was interrupted by two marines. Hawk recounted the tale several times but couldn't remember a thing. Bev wouldn't respond to his comm attempts and she wasn't taking any guests from what he had heard. He had a sick feeling he had said or DID something too her. He hoped that wasn't the case but he knew given the stories of everything else he did while under the influence of the pathogen it was likely he had offended or hurt her. Feeling like he was old and cripple he slowly made his way off the bed and too his clothing drawer. Rick informed him that there was a Christmas party later and he wanted in too attend, if for any other reason so he could try to relax and feel normal. Pulling his civilian clothes on was painful and took time. He was burned, bruised, had several lacerations, and his head HURT, so he wasn't going to "dress up" or try a costume. The only concern he had was making it there and sitting in the corner while everyone else had some fun. He could enjoy himself the most right now by just observing, and he hoped Bev would be there. He needed to find out what went on between them while he was in ogre mode. ==== some hours later ==== "Come in" Hawk said as his door chime announced a visitor was outside. Rick strode through the door followed closely by a few C-Shift engineers and Bev. Hawk stood there in amazement wondering if Rick had a plan or was this going to be an old fashioned lynching. "I thought you may feel better if you had a chance to talk to a few people." Rick said to Hawk. Hawk went on to apologize for his aggressive behavior. Everyone left after they talked for a few moments and they all left, except Bev. She recounted what he said and how he acted too her while he was "ill" After a hearty apology they decided to leave it at that and headed for the party. Bev had to assist Hawk as he was moving like a man after a prostate exam. ==== At the party ==== Not wanting to do much of anything Hawk was going to stick to his plan and stay near the edges of the party for the most part. The party was getting ready to really start when they got there. Except for a few notable absences that he thought were not there, (he couldn't tell as some were in costumes and he couldn't tell who they were) Either way he was happy to be near healthy and with friends...... ====================================================================== ((OOC Merry Christmas all, or Happy holidays if you don't follow the Christmas one, but as Muma said in his log- peace and fellowship are the biggest gift of the holiday- with or without a religious attachment ;-) )) ====================================================================== LT jg Hawk Versey Assistant Engineering Officer USS Chimera NCC 96899-A
