A good nights sleep

Posted on Thu Sep 3rd, 2020 @ 12:39am by Commander Samantha Howard

Mission: Tal Shiar
Location: CMO's Quarters

Sam was exhausted. Pure and simple. The toll of the latest away mission weighed heavily on her body and her mind. Making sure the rest of the team made it safely to their own cabins, Sam dragged herself the last few metres down the corridor. Her eyes were heavy but her mind was wired and still trying to process what they had been through.

The doors parted before her revealing the mostly neat quarters, most things were away and the general appearance was that of order. She replicated a soothing drink and sat on the end of her bed, taking the time to remove her footwear and the sickbay garments before taking the worlds longest shower. Hot water was far more soothing than a sonic shower, and not only cleaned her filthy body but soothed her mind. It washed the Romulans away, sending them spiralling down the drain with a plethora of suds from her body wash. The gentle scent of lavender replaced sweat, and cleanliness replaced grime.

Her hot water allowance fully spent the CMO dressed for bed, unable to look at herself in the mirror and see the bruises still left on her body. They would heal with time and some dermal regeneration, much like her mind would heal with rest and some proper therapy. Estella was going to have a field day.

Exhausted, she collapsed into bed, and fell into a deep sleep - hopefully far away from the Romulans and their secret bases.
