Time to look for the author...***1920 - "Determination Unyielding," by Capt. Dominie |
SLIDERS:
The New Odyssey
Kat felt cold. It was the first thing she felt when she came back to consciousness; along with a terrible ache in her ribs and chest. Each breath was forced making the pain worse and her head ached. Then through a hazy vision as if in a dream, like watching through eyes not her own, she turned her head to look around at the torn bridge. Consoles blown, bulkheads down, she could tell that power was fluctuating throughout the bridge.
She noted the security officer pulling himself up as she dimly heard Quen's order. It dawned on her then; she must have passed out when he carried her over to the command chair. Her head was swimming as she turned a bit more and bit back a sudden rush of pain throughout her chest. As her eyes focused again, she saw Korvon laying on the floor out cold with what looked to be a nasty head wound. Cadet Max Culkin leaning against a wall.
Kat settled her eyes on Quen as the realization of what really had happened hit her. She watched him, swallowing back the taste of blood, feeling both an old fear for science without thought for consequence and a fresh revulsion towards the enormity of it all. As she stared at him, Kat found herself wondering if she really knew him at all.
A fresh wave of pain raked through her body leaving her coughing as she tried to breath. She couldn?t see for all the black dots in her vision. She tried to push herself up more but had neither the strength nor the energy to ignore the terrible pain in her side. The attempt brought about another coughing fit. Kat pulled her hand away from her mouth seeing as well as tasting the blood.
She wiped the side of her hand on her uniform...detemination unyielding, "Status Report...", to someone..anyone.
Dominie, Captain Katerina
Commanding Officer,
