Something was tickling her nose. Something that felt like hair. "mhmph Cat your hair is in my face." Leona sighed.
"uh, Colonel, Whatever you do, don't move." Morrigan franticly whispered. "it's not Cat's hair."
Leona slowly opened her eyes to a wall of yellow fur centimeters in front of her nose, and a metal bar pushing against her chest. she looked down without moving her head to see that she was laying on her side, in her sleeping bag, chest first against the bars of Khory's cell. With Khory snoring just inches away from her vulnerable stomach. she stifled the urge to panic.
"ok Colonel, when I say, roll toward me, sleeping bag and all as fast as you can. three, two, one ROLL!"
Leona threw herself away from the bars as Khory uncurled with lighting speed and slashed a taloned paw through the bars.

Morrigan and Cat grabbed the Colonel's bag and hauled on it just as Khory's hand missed the end of the bag, leaving deep claw marks in the concrete floor. Khory snarled and stood and paced the cage, her sharply pointed ears just brushing the top of the cell.
"That's it, no more! I'm not staying here again. she can howl all she want's. that was too close!" Leona said, white faced as she leaned against Morrigan's chest. "do you hear that! you've tried to eat me for the last time!" Leona yelled as she stood and stalked out.
"Colonel where are you going?" Cat called out as she watched her leave.
"to go see Walter! I wanna see on the tapes how she got me without me knowing!"

Walter pulled up the tapes of last night as the fuming Colonel dropped like a ton of bricks into a chair next to him. "Colonel ?"
"just pull up the tapes Walter."
Leona's face turned a deadly shade as she watched Khory reach a long hairy arm out through the bars, not quite reaching the sleeping Colonel. As Leona watched, She saw her self roll over to face Khory, pushing the side of the bag, just close enough that the tip of Khory's longest claw could reach. she hooked it into the bag, ever so gently and slowly pulled the Colonel closer. pull, wait, pull again, till she had her up against the bars, at which point Khory lay down alongside her behind the bars and went to sleep.

"I've seen enough. thank you Walter." Leona patted him on the shoulder and headed down the infirmary to see Doctor Frasier.
"you want to do what?"
I want to drug her meat at night, so nobody has to be in there with her. "
I don't even know how drugs would affect her, or how much the dose should be. " the little doctor sputtered at the Colonel.
I would guess it would affect her like a dog, and she weighs close to what a horse does." Leona snapped. "I don't want to make General Hammond force you."
"He cant force me to do anything. I outrank him when it comes to medicinal or health matters of base personnel." Janet drew herself up and glared.
Leona waved a finger under her nose. "ah, but Khory isn't base personnel. She's an alien ambassador. There's always a loop hole Doctor." she said emphasizing the doctor part.

Janet gaped in shock. she knew Colonel Leona Topthorn had a reputation for being a hard ass, but this was inexcusable. when the Colonel had left, Janet marched herself up to General Hammonds office, she knocked and walked in when Hammond said "come in."
"Colonel Topthorn just tried to order me to drug Khory's supper! I tried to tell her no, but she threatened me with you!" Janet huffed and tapped her foot as if to say what are you going to do about it?
"I'm aware , Doctor. Do as she asked." Hammond cut off Janet's protest. "im not finished. she spent the last two nights keeping her hungry team mate company only to have her try to eat her each morning. This morning she woke up pressed against the bars of Khory's cell. Where Khory dragged her. When two of her team mates pulled her to safety, Khory tried to disembowl her. So no, It's not to much to ask and her less than polite attitude is excused this one time. Dismissed."
"But sir, it could kill her!"
"then i suggest you start with small doses. have a med team standing by just in case. You Are Dismissed."
