Mission: Romulan Ale.. I mean Aide

Saia asked Saunders to stay and keep an eye on the equipment as it continued analyzing as she followed the stream and came to a cave. According to her map, the cave was part of what was being mined. Just wanting to get to the bottom of things, she went in and followed the water.

Doing some scans with her tricorder, she shook her head, "Well, that could well be it. Efficient doesn't always mean better." She made notes in the PADD and recorded the scans.

Turning around to leave the cave, she realized how shallow the area was that she was in. She nearly panicked until she saw the light come around the corner. Not to mention her tricorder would tell her how to get out of there.

"I think you should stay here."

She shook her head. "You're light years away and not capable of telepathy, so... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY HEAD?!" The solitude made it feel safe to lose control.

She heard that chuckle that sent chills up her spine.

"I could do whatever I want to you in here. Easier than your quarters."

"You'll get yours soon enough."

"Oh, you think that the plan will save you? As you said, I'm nowhere around and yet... you are tormented."

She put the tricorder in her holster and hurried toward the light. In the hurry, she fell into the stream head first. She spit out what water went into her mouth. The front half of her soaked, she stood and made her way back, trembling from being chilled and nerves.
