(OOC: Takes place after Mei’konda and co. beam over to Montreal and presumably transfer Zhou over to Veritas)
((Sickbay, USS Veritas))
::There were many words Sky could use to describe Zhou Tai-Sheng. “Idiotic” and “misguided” had never been on that list.
::But she couldn’t help but be rather furious with, maybe not Zhou, but the situation Zhou has found himself in. Sky Blake blew into Sickbay like a lightning storm, interrupting the nurses mid-conversation and moving past them too quickly for them to tell her to do otherwise. The second she’d been told, she’d dropped everything.::
Blake: Tai.
::Tai woke up from all the commotion, surprisingly not in as much pain as one would think for a man who’d had both legs crushed and second and third degree plasma burns scorched across his body. But that was mostly due to the wonders of 24th century pain medication. But, judging by the look of his former shipmate, it must have been pretty disconcerting.::
Zhou: Well, this wasn’t really the reunion I was hoping for…
::He groaned as he tried to prop himself up a bit to talk to her better, but the woman instead poked a finger into his shoulder, keeping him down.
::Blake was never one to yell. She’d been known to argue, yes, sometimes talk over people. But she always gave off an eerie kind of calm tone, words precise when in conflict. In this instance, she had a relaxed body stance, leaving her eyes to be the only thing to display pure anger.
::Yes. She was angry. But she was also concerned for the wellbeing of her friend.::
Blake: What happened?
::He knew better than to resist and instead lay back down, sighing.::
Zhou: We came across a distress call from a group of escape pods. ::He turned his head to look over at her.:: Trouble was we weren’t the first to get there.
Blake: You ran into pirates?
::He shook his head.::
Zhou: Not this time, Sky.
::He took a breath before he said just one word.::
Zhou: Tholians.
