= Begin Log = Nick's Quarters Nick threw his jacket onto the bed and glanced around his quarters as the doors closed behind him, nothing he could see was out of place but it was likely he would check at some point just to make sure. He wanted to make sure that no other crewmembers had been in his quarters. Despite his intimate knowledge of the security systems he still wasnt entirely trusting of it, he presumed that was the effect of being an engineer. He moved quickly to the desk, as he sat down at the chair memories flooded back of the desk he had had made and had used on the Starbase Aurora, which he believed had passed to his successor as he had requested. The desktop terminal felt strangely heavy as he turned it to face and activated it. He steadied a shake in his hand, accompanied by a quizzical look before turning again to face the terminal. He worked quickly and as the data flowed up on his screen a silent thankyou to the Borg and his engineering tutors and "well, then lets see what we have here" were the only actions he took while he continued to read. A quick disconnection and a check no alarm had gone off was all that was needed when he had finished before he deactivated the terminal and headed to the sonic shower. A quick removal of his clothes and the push of a button lead to his standing in the shower cubicle with the sonic pulses cleaning the dirt and grime from the trip away. He leaned against the wall and let the pulses do their work as they worked to relax his muscles. He was forced to stand up when his hand again began to shake and a visible shock of power pass down the technology visible on the surface of his left hand as a silent alarm went off in the back of his mind. He pushed the button on the shower and walked quickly to where he had folded his clothes on the bathroom counter. He dressed in a hurry, hindered by his hand, the vibrations now travelling up his arm and pressed his combadge as he entered the main living area and headed to the door. +taps+ Quayle to Doctor Summers.
