A/N: As a reminder, this weird version of Star Trek is based on my life, so there's no telling what will happen because life is unpredictable.

Chapter Nine: Never Argue with a Hormonal Klingon
"Men should be..." I began as I lay on B'Liz's bed. I tried to think of some cruel punishment to bestow upon them.
"Shot!" B'Liz finished for me.
"No," I muttered. "Put into cages for all of us women to look at and say 'Awh, how cute!'"
"And then shot!" B'Liz said with a smirk.
I looked across the room where she sat working at her computer console. "Don't you want some big, strong warrior to kill a targ for you and give you its heart or something?"
"No," she said in disgust. "I would rather do it myself."
I smiled a little.
"I'm tired," I muttered.
"It's only three o'clock," Sisma told me. "What have you done today? Hard shift in astrometrics?"
I shrugged. "Andrannon made me re-do a report because it wasn't done to her satisfaction. I did some scanning and categorizing. Nothing too strenuous."
"Have been having low energy a lot lately?" Sisma asked as if she was evaluating a patient.
"Story of my life," was my reply.
"Let me see your nails!" Sisma demanded.
I held out a hand to her and she examined the nails thoroughly. "Uhuh. You have a deficiency, probably iron. See how your nail isn't quite smooth."
I had noticed before that my nails weren't very smooth. I thought it was normal.
"What's my nail mean?" B'Liz asked, shoving a disfigured nail at Sisma with pride.
"Looks like you burnt yourself with a phaser a couple months ago," Sisma diagnosed.
"Wrong!" B'Liz shouted, snatching her hand away. "Punched a wall when I got mad at Lt. Raymond."
"You punched a wall?" I asked.
"I should have just punched Lt. Raymond," B'Liz mused. "It would have made me feel better. I don't know why I didn't."
"Because you would have been put on report," I reminded. "And you're smart, despite the fact you're Klingon."
B'Liz growled.
A/N: This is a mega short chapter, but my life in progressing faster than I can write chapters. Therefore, it's going to be a bit jumbled for a while.
