<<Sickbay>>
Tifa's eyes opened, but she quickly regretted it as the bright light
forced her to squint. Looking around, she recognized Sickbay. She was
lying on a biobed and the top part of her uniform had been removed.
Somebody, probably a prude human, had pull a blanket over her up to her
neck. She sat up, an dull pain manifesting itself in her side where
broken ribs had been regenerated. How did she get here...? That's when
she remembered T'Arna.
As the memory of the Klingon's ambush resurfaced, Tifa's temper
flared. T'Arna had attacked her because she wanted Castle for herself,
and Charr didn't care about that, Castle was a big man and could take
care of himself, but by attacking her T'Arna had made it personal. A low
growl escaped Tifa's lips. T'Arna would pay. She would pay for the
trickery and the humiliation. Tifa swore it.
Someone approched her and said something. But Tifa didn't recognize
her, nor did she hear her. She wasn't a Starfleet officer anymore, she
was a hunter. She tried to get up, but the nurse laid a hand on her
shoulder. Immediately, Tifa lashed out, slashing her across the chest
with her claws before jumping off the biobed. Landing on all four, she
hissed at the approaching Sickbay personel, making them back up in fear.
Then she spotted the door and sprinted for it.
As she got to it, it opened to revealed the dark-haired security
chief, Logan Castle. Still in her rage, Tifa didn't recognize him either
and, without slowing down, pushed him out of her way as she headed for
the turbolift with surprising speed.
