Post #5: Another Name to the List

Anya heard the Commander at the door but she wouldn’t answer. She couldn’t get in trouble if they didn’t know where she was. Her mouth, her temper, her attitude, it was all they were warning her about. But every time something got out of hand so did she. She had seen the commander with the Captain – she saw the way Sebastian smiled at the woman – the way the captain smirked at her told one thing – he was in love. Anya waited until the knocking stopped at her door before she picked up a picture frame and hurled it across the room. How dare him fall in love with a woman he had no business falling for?

She grunted. After seeing the Captain walking with Syra, Anya had reported for duty in Engineering. She was running the joint and still everyone ignored her when she walked in. Taking out the assistant was not the plan but the man had it coming. She shoved her fingers through her hair and took a deep breath. She was reaching for her glass when she was surrounded by a flurry of white light. The next thing she knew she was in sitting in the brig.

“Son of a bitch!” she yelled.
“Excuse me, Lt?” the brig officer wanted to know.
“Let me out!” she shouted.
“Can’t do that ma’am,” the officer shook his head. “The captain sent you here for a reason and until he tells me otherwise, you’re staying.”
“You little weasel!” Anya shouted. “I’ll ruin you for this!”

The offer simply shrugged and walked away from her. The door swished shut behind him and she slumped against the seat. She should have taken her comm. Badge off.

Tri took the first few hours she was there and read over the report left by the captain. The old security officer was a traitor and was killed in battle. It just seems her luck wasn’t getting any better especially after she saw that the chief engineer was in the brig. Rubbing her eyes she grabbed her phaser, a padd and a candy and slipped from her office.

In the brig she told the officer who she was and he instantly stood up, stiff as a board, “at ease Ensign before you pop something,” she joked. “No need to do that. Tell me, what’s going on?”

“I don’t know, Lt,” the large man spoke. “But knowing her, it has something to do with beating someone up, talking back, or trying to kill someone.”

Tri rolled her eyes, shook her head and stepped into the holding area, “so you must be Lt. Toombs,” she spoke with a frown. “What did you do this time?”

“I don’t have to tell you nothing,” Anya rolled her eyes insolently.
“I see,” Tri frowned. “Look, I am new here but I am the new chief of security. Where the last security chief took crap from you I absolutely will not. If you are here to cause any danger, or issues for the captain and this crew, I will personally shove you out an airlock – they say you only get one chance at a first impression but lucky for you, I’m in a good mood. Let’s try this again. Why are you here?”

Anya glared at the woman. She had dark skin, blue hair with a red ribbon wrapped around a strand of the blue hair. She was slightly tall, and beautiful. Great, another one for Sebastian to fall for. She sat up in the bed and explained why she was there, “happy now?”

“Well seems to me you’re the commanders problem,” Tri tsked while glancing at her padd.

“Tell me you’re not leaving me in here!” Anya shouted and rushed for Tri. She forgot about the force field and was sent flying back into the wall over the bed. Pain shot through her body but she wasn’t seriously hurt.

“Until the captain or commander tells me differently in our meeting, Lt,” Tri spoke with a sweet, fake smile on her lips. “You will remain right where you are because it seems to me that you have a temper problem. The crew is safer this way.”

Whistling to herself, she exited the holding area, “Ensign, she is to have no visitors except the captain and the First officer.”

“Yes Ma’am,” the ensign grinned boyishly.

Tri continued her song and exited the brig. She would meet with the commander to get a better feel for this Anya woman.

Meanwhile, in the brig, Lt. Anya Toombs added another name to her shit list.
