=/\= Athena's Quarters =/\= After seeing the general Athena returned to her quarters and began cleaning up. It wasn't as if anything in her room was out of place or that any dust had settled anywhere she was just ridding herself of her nervous energy. After flitting through her rooms one more time and finding nothing she cold even imagine to do she decided to take a shower. As the steam filled the bathroom Athena began to relax and think about the invitation she would send to Miss Quiocho. As she stepped into the shower she continued to compose her invitation and reword it as needed. She didn't know why but the young AMO seemed not to like her very much. Athena finished her shower and sent the invitation to MaiKai about going to the New Risen Spa on the base. She sat down and began to read Murder on the Orient Express. She sat engrossed in her book as she sipped a cup of hot chocolate when the computer beeped signaling and incoming message. She jumped at the soft beeping and set both her book and the mug down. Walking over to the computer; she sat in the desk chair and checked on the incoming message. Its was from the AMO refusing the joint trip to the spa for massages. Athena gave a small sigh and returned to her spot on the sofa reading and sipping the smooth chocolately liquid. She leaned forward as she read the words in front of her almost missing the coffee table as she set down her cup. She was so engrossed in her book and the second murder was about to happen. Athena felt a shiver of anticipation as she read on. "There was a loud ...." The room was plunged into darkness and Athena almost screamed aloud at her sudden change in scenery. Her heart raced a few more moments as she sat in the dark silence. {Base engineers .... working on the ship.} As the last thought slammed into her head; Athena took a couple of calming breaths. {maybe its only the lights} she thought as she rose and promptly hit her knee on the coffee table knocking the cup to the floor. This time a scream did pass her lips and a soft, "Damn," followed shortly after. She gave her knee a rub and then hobbled toward the door. Athena ran her hands across the door and began to feel a little trapped when it didn't slide open. She closed her eyes, looked up toward the ceiling and gave a little prayer. Athena tapped her combadge, "Lt. Wellington here, Can anyone hear me? I'm stuck in my quarters." She waited patiently hoping there would be a response. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt.
