Shion couldn't quite remember where she was or what had happened, she couldn't see anything and all she could hear was the sound of her ears lightly ringing. It took her a minute to realize the reason she couldn't see was that her eyes were closed, and as much as she would have loved to just keep her eyes closed and drift back to sleep, she eventually did slowly open them up.

After her eyes adjust she looks around and noticed that the room she's in is actually very familiar. Despite the blurriness of her vision without her contacts or glasses she quickly recognizes the layout as the girls room on the Elsa, and she appears to be back in her bed in said room.

She adjusts herself so that she's sitting up, which isn't too easy due to the throbbing pain in her head. She lifts her hand to her head and finds that it had been wrapped up in bandages, and in the spot that hurts the most there is a rather large bump.

"Oh miss Uzuki," a nearby service droid calls out, "you should lie down for a little longer. You took quite a hit to the head earlier."

"I what? Oh wait now I remember..." Images of what had happened come back to her, the enemy ship that latched itself to the Elsa, the soldiers that had gotten in the ship, Allen and Jr fighting them off alongside her, getting knocked out... "Say, what even happened while I was unconscious? And while I'm at it how long was I out?"

"Technically you were only out for about a minute, but you seemed to have a concussion and were very delirious so your friend took you up here to rest and be taken care of." The droid brings over a bottle of water to her while explaining, Shion gladly takes it and drinks a bit. She hadn't realized how thirsty she had been until then. "You might not remember but you were awake the whole walk here, you even managed to go take those... Things? Out of your eyes-"

"You mean my contacts?"

"Yes, those things. Anyway you fell back asleep while I was tending your injury after you took some painkillers." Shion frowns as the droid finishes explaining, she could vaguely remember these things but they felt more like a dream. She didn't like the feeling of not being able to remember clearly what happened, it made her feel like she wasn't in control of her own life. "We managed to lose our pursuers a little while back so I'd suggest you don't worry about anything other than resting and getting better. And, if you want, I can inform your friends that you're awake."

"Yeah, if you could get them that'd be nice. Thank you." She decides to lie back down before the droid leaves, which seemed to make them happy, and grab her glasses and a small portable video game she had left sitting on the table beside her bed. It wasn't easy to play the game with her head hurting as much as it did, but it at least served as a distraction.
After all it wasn't like there was much else she could do, she wouldn't be much help if she didn't get better, and she wouldn't get better if she didn't stay where she was and rest.

"I wonder if the Chief's okay," Allen mopes as he lies his head on the kitchen counter, "she didn't look so good earlier... I wish I could have done something more to help... I should have stopped that soldier from hitting her in the first place..."

Jr is listening to Allen from the other side of the counter, he's wearing a pink apron that was clearly too big for him and standing on a stool scraping a bunch of chopped vegetables into a large pot. "You know Allen, if you really want to help her maybe instead of whining you could help me with my 'get better Shion' soup!" Jr ends up accidentally dropping the cutting board into the pot as he gestured at it. He mutters a quiet 'shit' under his breath as he fishes it back out.

"I would, Jr, but I don't really know how to cook and I'd rather stick to things I'm good at."

"Well what are you good at?"

"Whining."

"Aw come on, you gotta be good at more stuff than that." Jr looks around the messy counter for something he misplaced, "and uh... Does one of those talents happen to be knowing where the salt is?"

"Yeah, here." Allen says with a sigh, passing the salt shaker over to Jr. "Don't add too much pepper either, she doesn't really like pepper."

"See you got other talents, like passing me things, and knowing weird specific things about Shion."

"Well I can only know as much as she tells me... Er, I guess I could know more but that'd just be stalkerish and creepy..." Allen then watches Jr put a comically large roast chicken into his soup, he would have usually questioned that but after a while he figured it was quicker to just accept the weird shit that went on around him. Soon afterward the door could be heard opening and a robotic voice spoke up.

"There you two are! Miss Uzuki has woken up, and you may go see her now if you like."

"R- Really? Well is she okay? Is she- OOF!" Jr had gotten up while Allen was rambling and was now pushing him towards the door where the droid still stands.

"Look if ya really want to know how she's doing just go see her for yourself, and don't tell her about the 'get better Shion' soup, that's gonna be a surprise!" Jr finally makes it to the door and shoves Allen out, "I'll be there in a few minutes, just wait for me."

Allen wants to go back and protest to Jr, but he had already closed the door and Allen just ends up running into it face-first. The service droid is still nearby, shifting around on its one wheel uncomfortably. "So... Would you like to go see miss Uzuki now?" The droid watches Allen pull himself off the door and let out an exasperated sigh, it couldn't help but wonder if it made a miscalculation and said the wrong thing.

"Yeah I'll go see her now, sorry Jr is just so frustrating sometimes. Making me go by myself, doesn't he know how uncomfortable I'm gonna feel? After all it was my fault anyway..." The droid doesn't follow, it just watches Allen slowly make his way to the girl's room. It's stunned, since the day it was made never had the droid seen someone who could complain that much.

Shion had quickly given up trying to play any game that required strategy or skill, she was still too unwell to do nearly anything in them. She instead settled on a simple farming game she'd bought once on a whim, she still wasn't sure how a game about doing chores could be so fun and addicting. She was in the middle of making the small character on the screen give flowers to an npc when someone knocks on the door. "Come in!"

Her voice is still a bit hoarse but it was loud enough for the person at the door to hear. She doesn't bother looking up from her game, but she can hear the door open and footsteps make their way towards her bed. "H- Hey chief are you um... feeling better at all?"

"Yeah, I'm doing much better. My head still hurts a bit, but aside from that I'm okay." She finally pauses the game and looks up at Allen, "what about you and Jr? I don't think I ever got the chance to make sure neither of you got hurt."

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine, Jr got his arm grazed but aside from that he's fine too." Shion smiles, she felt better knowing her friends hadn't suffered at all from her carelessness. She couldn't help but notice, however, that Allen looked pretty uncomfortable. He shifts around on his feet and grips his left arm tightly. His eyes seem to dart around the room, never staying focused on one thing too long.

"Hey are you sure you're okay?" Allen seems to jump a bit at the sound of her voice, "you're acting a bit goofy."

"G- Goofy? Me? Naw- I mean... It's just..." Shion watches him stand there and stutter, not able to form a full sentence.

"Is this about what I said the other day? After my little freak out?" Shion guesses, "I'm really sorry about that you know. I'm not gonna use you or Tony like that again, it was stupid and immature-"

"No, that's not it! I- I mean... Aren't you mad?"

"Mad?" Shion didn't quite get what Allen was freaking out about, "no I'm not mad. At least not at you, that Evelyn person on the other hand I'd gladly give a piece of my mind right now. Sending those realians out to kill us, who do they think they are anyway?"

Allen gapes at her as she grumpily rambles on, "you mean you're not mad at me?"

"No, of course not. Why would I even be-"

"Hey, Shion!" Jr interrupts Shion when he comes in the room and makes his way over to her bed. He appeared to be holding something behind his back. "How are you feeling?"

"Um, I'm feeling fine. What's that you got?"

"Oh it's just my special 'get better Shion' sandwiches!" Jr held out a plate to Shion, it holds a few miniature sandwiches and a side of strawberries. Shion smiles at the sweet gesture and thanks Jr as she took the plate from him. Allen, on the other hand, just looked confused

"What happened to the soup?"

"There was a, uh, change in plans..."

After Jr said that they could hear someone stomping their way to the room. Captain Matthews, upon opening the door, starts yelling at them. "HEY! WHICH ONE OF YOU MORONS STARTED A FIRE IN THE CAFETERIA!?"

"HOW DO YOU START SOUP ON FIRE!?"
