=/\= Chimera Sickbay =/\= Athena lay on a biobed and looked at her hands; much the way a child would after washing several layers of dirt from them. {Boo-boos all gone.} Athena felt very free to express what ever thought popped into her mind or act on her thoughts which was getting to be interesting occasionally since Capt. Walsh was laying in a bed not far away. "Man, its hot in here. Can't I just take this thing off," Jack said and watched one of the nurses blush. Athena picked up on the theme and sat up and began to take her shirt off. Athena then removed the T-shirt she had on and out fell the two communicators. Athena was left with her pants and bra remaining when Scott came by to check. "I'm sure if you sit back down you be very comfortable," Scott said to Athena. She sat back on her bed and thought about for a minute or two before replying, "Yes, quite comfortable." Scott picked up the communicators and sent them to science with a note as to where they had come from. Anne suggested Athena go back to sleep which the counselor did while Jack gave a whistle when the nurse walked by his bed. A little while later Athena slowly awoke feeling as though she were in a fog she couldn't get out of. She was sore and just barely comfortable. Her head, hands and ribs ached as she continued to work her way out of the foggy haze that remained as thick as pea soup in front of her. She kept her breathing steady as she struggled to sit up in her current condition. By the time she had herself in a sitting position, she was beginning to feel the fog lift from her vision. However with everything around her becoming brighter and taking normal shapes, Athena began to feel nauseated. A few more minutes passed and her vision was focused and she got up from the bed. Athena started heading for the facilities located in the sickbay. She had hardly made it there and moved her hair out of the way before she emptied the acidic bile from her stomach and collapsed to her knees. Anne helped Athena back to her bed and Scott checked the counselor over. Scott gave her something for the throbbing in her head and the soreness and released Athena to rest in her quarters. Athena took the important insignia and honors off her tattered white shirt and left. She noticed Scott and Steve exchanging patient information for the ones that remained in sickbay when she left. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt. Athena Wellington Counselor USS Chimera
