=/\= USS Pack Mule =/\= Athena stepped into the Pack Mule and watched as the man there seemed to inspect them. She had been trying to keep some distance between herself and the footed chest that seemed to follow ... Rangi .... that was her name. She looked the stranger in the face and then down next to him. She was about to pet the little rabbit that was following him around when the weird man with the phaser pushed her further into the ship. The bunny man showed them to a small room that smelled funny and told them to stay there. Athena looked around a bit doubtful but huddle in a small spot near the door. She shivered as the footed chest marched by with its dozen pair of feet beating out a loud rhythm. She pulled her blanket over her head and pretended she was invisible. She even covered her ears to block out some of the noise she felt in her head. She bumped the wall with her elbow when the ship lurched causing her to remain very still. =/\= A time Later =/\= It seemed like they sat forever in the stinky room before they were allowed to leave. Athena moved out of the room and put as much distance as she could between herself and the others but in particular that chest. She didn't like that way it stared at her and it made her head hurt even more when it was closer. It wasn't much longer before the bunny and the man joined them. Athena kneeled down by the bunny and petted his long furry ears. She looked up at the bunny's owner and said, "He's a sweet bunny. I bet he's a great friend." Another name popped into her head ....... Nathan. She glanced at the man with the phaser and soon found herself being pushed toward the exit by him. Athena tripped over the security guard outside the door in her efforts to stay away from the footed chest. The whole group was being taken somewhere and Athena felt very confused. =/\= Sickbay =/\= When the group reached its destination Athena was amazed and scared all at the same time. The big men with the stern faces said they would be getting help here. Athena didn't understand how a place that had footed chests and flying monkeys and polka-dotted elephants could help anyone. She was told to sit on a bed and she did as she huddled in her blanket as tears slipped down her cheeks. She was unable to hold the tears back: just as she was unable to stop the pounding in her head, so she held it. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt. Athena Wellington Counselor USS Chimera
