The first blow came as a complete surprise, propelling her harshly into the ragged cave wall. Pain radiated from her cheek and she could feel the trickle of blood sliding down her face. She vaguely registered the hiss of the holodeck doors closing behind her, disappearing behind the illusion of weathered rock, immersing her fully in the alternate reality of the cave and shutting out the ship beyond the hidden walls.

Before she had time to evaluate her surroundings and assess her options, she was being held firmly against the wall by a body. Her mind pushed the pain caused by the first blow aside and focused on the hot, sweaty body pressing itself against her, trying to gauge the frame of mind of her aggressor.

Anger, desire, need and even confusion seemed to fill the heavy air around them. She could feel the body pushing into her, rubbing itself against her.

The body moved quickly, she had no time to decide on her course of action before her brain registered a new agony. But this time the pain was caused by an arm pressing against her neck, blocking her airway. Instinct had her grabbing at the arm, trying to pull the arm away, trying to get air into her lungs. Her nails dug into the flesh of her aggressor, but she couldn't get the other woman off of her.

"Tuvok was wrong, it's not over for me. You shouldn't have come here," the woman pinning her to the wall growled, before having the computer engage the security lockout on the holodeck.

"I had to," she croaked out, with barely enough air to breathe.
