Athena lay in her bed sleeping at last. Probably much to the relief of her
marine escort. Athena had been sleeping fitfully and awoke abruptly. She
sat straight up in bed as a feeling of great anger seemed to shake her
senses. The intensity of the anger mixed her dreams and sleep muddled head
made Athena gasp in a deep breath and let it out quickly. She sat for a few
seconds longer before moving into action. {The away teams.} She felt
almost ill with her thoughts and the things she was sensing.
Athena jumped from the bed and went straight to the door. She didn't once
give any thought to the oversized green T-shirt that hung to her knees or
the fact that she was in her barefeet. She breezed through the door and
into the corridor. She didn't bother to notice the marine or if he was even
following her. She was practically running for the lift. Her marine escort
gave her a strange look but said nothing as the counselor wore a serious
expression on her face one-second and a look of concern the next.
As the lift doors open Athena stepped out onto the bridge and looked at Lt.
York. The helmsman couldn't keep the surprised look from his face,
"Counselor?"
Athena walked over to the helmsman and asked quietly if he had heard
anything from the away teams. He shook his head to indicate he had heard
nothing. Athena stood still watching the screen for several minutes without
moving or saying anything. Her senses hummed with the anger and her body
shivered with it.
She moved ever so slightly but she was now standing just a step or two
behind the helmsman as she continued to stare at the screen. As she let her
tensed muscles relax the shivering became less noticeable and she started to
sense something else. {Frustration. Hhmmm... another form of anger.} It
was almost as if the frustration fueled the sea of anger that seemed to
encompass her.
Athena's arm had been hanging at her side but now she crossed them in front
of her making the hem of the T-shirt rise up her thighs an inch. A sense of
confusion hit her and it was unsettling. She took a couple more backward
steps and sat slowly in an empty chair as the feeling of intense anger swept
over her again. {What's going on in that station?} The color had drained
from her face with the anger that now seemed to be coursing around and
through her.
