"Shit you son of a bitch." She kicked her foot out wrapping it around his leg and yanking her attacker down before smashing her heel down into his face. He held his nose groaning as she kicked him one more time and moved away from her. "Get out of here you ass next time I'm smashing your balls." She growled and disappeared into her office her hand held underneath her arm catching blood. She managed to make it to her bathroom grab her medkit and sit on the toilet lid before she realized what had just happened. She had been violently attacked and injured on her second day aboard the ship and they had been trying to kill her. They didn't even know what she was they just wanted her dead and she had reacted almost as violently attacking without a second thought and worse enjoying putting him in his place. What kind of place had she ended up in? She had never drawn blood on someone before no one had ever actually tried to kill her without knowing what she was or knowing her. Her breaths became shallower and quicker and her heart sped up. What was going on? She felt so hot when did it go so hot in here? She blinked when something warm splashed on her thigh. Oh right blood she was bleeding and had a knife stuck in her arm duh. It was boiling too hot to concentrate but she started shivering. How did that make sense? Shaking her head she gripped the knife and started rocking it slightly moaning in pain and she worked it out. First get it out second stop the bleeding third clean it fourth band aids a lot of them or stitches either one and fifth take nutritional supplements. Well now that she had that plan she finished pulling the blade out with a groan and wrapped a towel around her arm holding it straight up to stop the blood.
After she had wrapped her arm in those weird stretchy band aids on a roll she rummaged around her drawers and added another keypad lock and a little buzzer with an intercom so they could announce themselves onto her door. Hopefully Kirk wouldn't mind having to buzz in. that gave her pause then she shrugged it didn't matter that much he would get used to it. Finally Nora sat back in her rolly chair with a relieved sigh. One hell of a first day so far she thought as she gazed around her small ridiculously sterile environment. It was an amazing space with all sort of cool gadgets and other things to help her get work done and all that fun stuff. She should ask Kadie to make her a laptop or something to help her keep up with work.
Almost eight hours later she was bent over a open medical scanner stripping the wires and putting fresh ones in when she heard her door buzz several times as though someone were in a panic. Dropping her work she hustled over to find herself face to face to with McCoy whose eyes darted over her quickly lingering on the bandage. "Falken I get that you requested to be left alone for the rest of the day but why in the hell is there blood out here and why are you still here? You have been on duty for almost fourteen hours what the hell are you thinking?" He grabbed her arm and dragged her to medbay and pushed her to a biobed pointing at her in warning to stay put as he went to go grab supplies. Nora stayed still frowning as she watched the southern doctor putter around muttering angrily under his breath and start stabbing her again with hypo's. Seriously was that his fetish or something? After that he unwound the bandage and sighed before cuffing her. "This needs to be healed Falken why didn't you come here earlier? Oh and you haven't eaten anything since this morning." He growled in annoyance stabbing her again and pulling out his dermal regenerator and thrust something purple into her hands. "It is a nutrition stub for blood loss. Eat it."
Eyeing it she shook her head it was a deep almost black purple and had a squishy yet chalky feeling "I'm not eating this." He turned and gave her the patented I'm your doctor you better do what I say or I will make you look. Weighing her options she decided it was safer to just eat the barney stool sample than to risk more hypo's.
"Now you come on we are going back to your quarters." Not even waiting for a response he grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room and up to her quarters. Stupid pushy doctor's and their stupid pushy ways. "Congratulations Falken you survived your first attack. Try and make it through the month and the other Officer's will actually talk to you."
"Lucky me." She muttered under her breath apparently McCoy heard her because his lips twitched and he glanced at her and shook his head.
"They are alright when they aren't trying to kill you."
"So really never."
McCoy shook his head but didn't comment any further dropping her off and disappearing. Great now she had the same problem as last night she glanced at the red numbers on the clock. 11pm exactly sighing she stripped off her clothes and fell into bed wearing nothing but her underwear and grabbed her fluffy blanket fuck the pj's.
At four am she was wide awake and prowling her room before she finally pulled on shorts and a t-shirt and headed towards the gym not surprisingly it was empty. Pulling out a black box she set it up in the opposite corner of the amts and activated it a hologram fighter popped up and faced her in ready position. Hell yeah.
The opponent the box created was her exact opposite in fighting style and damn was that a challenge. She should reprogram it to be easier or was that cheating? Like it mattered that much it was her she was cheating in the end and did it really matter that much in the end. She wanted to be lazy damn it! At almost six thirty she stopped and picked up her little box and jogged back to her room with foot shaped bruises along her back but she felt better than she had and got ready for the day.
