Mission: Nothing To Fear...
Location: Somewhere between the bridge and the brig.

=ON=

=Somewhere in a Dream=

A small adolescent child ran mercilessly through the woods of the back country. Oblivious, to the breeze or the warm summers day. She ran, ran for all she could. She was being pursued but, by what or who she could tell. She heard the bastards voice.

"I'm coming for you Talla. Give up and I'll make it as painless as possible."

{The bastard knew my name} she thought, how?

=Ships Counselors Office=

She awoke to a loud gasp. The gasp that came from her as she jolted and fell off her couch. Talla was covered in sweat from the nightmare she just relieved once again. Her head felt like a split cord of firewood.

"It couldn't have been. I killed that son of bitch." She muttered as she picked herself up off the ground. She groaned. {I made him pay for what he did.} She thought as she walked to the small bathroom and tried to clean herself up. As she wiped the water and tears away, she looked into the mirror and the flashbacks of the fires, and burning flesh rushed her senses even stronger. Talla jolted back into the wall. She damn near knocked herself cold. In a slight daze she slowly stumbled to the door. In her mind she was screaming for help but, she couldn't even utter a single word. Not one, as the tears began to fall once again.

She entered the waiting area outside her office and yet again, she found an empty room. Telepathically, she continued to scream for help. As the doors opened into the main corridor she screamed in complete horror. The likes no one had ever heard.

A shodowy figure presented itself before Talla. For whatever reason she couldn’t see its face. No matter how hard she concentrated, she couldn’t see past the distortion. And then she realised who this person could be. The wave of adrenaline shot through her body at an incredible speed, and she aggressively moved towards the figure.

"No!!! I got you!" As she landed several drop kicks and finished him off with a roundhouse. "I'm not a scared little girl anymore Dragon Lance!" As she began to come back briefly, realizing had just kicked the crap out of Meezo. She then collapsed lifelessly into him. She was a complete hot mess but, at least for a brief moment she felt safe.

Mike held onto the woman for a moment, squeezing her tightly in his arms. He felt definite sharp pangs of pain where she had kicked him several times, but this could easily be forgiven. He knew that Lord Chaos had been in control of this situation, and Talla hadn’t knowingly attacked him.

He stood up, pulling Talla’s arm around his neck as he did, and lifted the woman to her feet as best as she could support herself. He needed to get her to sickbay for Doc Hayes to check her over; thank God it was only a short distance away on this deck. “Come on, Counsellor, let’s get your seen to.” A sharp pain in his ribs indicated that the woman had probably dealt him a more serious blow than he thought, but now wasn’t the time to stop and check.
