=/\= Jefferies Tubes =/\= Athena had left the cargo bay and was slowly making her way to the bridge. Occasionally she would have to climb past a person going the opposite direction. The ship continued to rock some and Athena found that keeping hold on the rungs was harder than she thought. Her ribs bothered her most when she stretched for a rung. She kept sensing that something wasn't quite right but didn't know what it was. It felt like being tested but even that wasn't quite right. Deception seemed another good choice but yet that didn't seem right either. Whatever it was it was very confusing and filling Athena with a sense of dred. Athena had almost made it to the bridge and was close enough that she could hear the reports being relayed back to Shane. She stretched for the last rung when the ship rocked violently. She held on tight as she lost her balance. The only thing that kept her from falling down the tube was the hold she had on that last rung. She gasped when her body swung back into the rungs and she let go of the rung she was holding. She fell a bit but found herself facing the rungs and she grabbed at them in desperation as she seemed to slide past them quicker and quicker. Finally her hands grabbed a rung and she winced at the sudden stop. Athena took in a deep breath and let her feet search for a rung below her to stand on. She trembled a bit as she stood there clinging to the runs in the tube. She looked up and didn't think she had fallen that far but she wasn't sure since everything seemed much darker now. She reached a small platform and felt for a hatch. She found it and slipped out onto some deck; she'd figure out which one later. She closed the hatch and sat on the floor let her nerves calm a bit. {Something isn't right.} =/\= End Log =/\= Lt. Athena Wellington Counselor USS Chimera
