As Boom was cleaning up the horrible mess he had made, he was thinking about what had just happened. Kat had reacted a lot worse than what he had expected, she would normally have a small rant and be fine, but this time she really lost it. He wasn't very surprised, with the amount of pressure she was constantly under to keep the base in top condition, having him around her constantly must have been a real pain, he wasn't exactly the most skilled technician.

As Boom continued to think, Commander Cruger walked in. Looking up, Boom quickly brought himself to attention, clumsily dropping the sweeping brush he had been holding.

"Boom... what happened here?" He asked.

"Well Sir, I had a slight accident with the mechanical arm." Boom was stuttering badly, thinking he was going to be in as much trouble as he had been a few minutes earlier.

"I can see that. Has Dr. Manx been informed of this 'accident'?" He put extra emphasis on the accident.

"Yes Sir, she came in just after it happened" Cruger sighed. He would have a lot of trouble on his hands if this wasn't sorted soon.

"Alright then Boom. You better get all this cleaned up, understand?"

"Yes Sir" He replied very sheepishly, not surprising as he had just had a close encounter with one very angry Kat Manx.

"Good." With all said that needed to be said (for the time being anyway), Cruger left the lab to venture the halls, hoping that at some point he may come across Kat, or possibly better, Jack. Maybe he should've asked Boom if he had seen Jack. It is his duty in 10 minutes, and Cruger expected him to be there, Regardless of Kat's condition and state of mind. He would deal with her very soon.

I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see

As she listened to the lyrics of the song playing on the radio, Kat couldn't stop the tears from falling. Sat in the same Cafe as yesterday, she really wished she could just dissapear forever. Everything was just so out of place in her life, and she hated it. She wanted everything to return as it had been before.

She snapped out of her thoughts as the waitress brought her a coffee. She thanked the waitress, also thanking that the waitress wasn't the same one as before, as that would have just been plain awkward, and that would just add to the list of things going wrong. She constantly peered out of the window, getting ready to hide if she saw any of the people she didn't want to, which was pretty much everyone. Kat wanted time alone, and knew that after a little time out she would be fine, but knew that the peaceful loneliness she was beginning to enjoy would not last long, especially with Cruger and Jack on her case 24/7. And as if by coincidence, she saw the old dog just in the windows view, and dashed into the Cafe's disabled toilet.

She prayed he hadn't seen her.
