She looked at him this was gonna be hard. "Its amazing the Terrasect made it back, at all. She was damaged extensively, they've been working on her day and night. But she's alot like you and will be up and about in no time."
"I'm not an engineer and I can't go into it with ya. Expect to say if she was my patient, I would have listed her as critical. And considering all the damage the lose of crew was miminal." She saw the look in his eyes and understood his feelings. But the Terrasect was not lost and would be repaired. He sighed softly, running his hand through his hair. "Maybe I'm getting too old for this type of thing..." He sighed, then looked to the Neurosurgeon. "I'll schedule rehab with you later on. Right now I just want to go take a shower and set to relaxing." As some on the Terrasect knew, his idea of relaxing was going over reports and getting caught up. Especially in times like this, where he felt so out of the loop. He looked to Colina, and then back to the Neurosurgeon. "Is that fair?" He asked, seemingly fit for a man his age being laid out for as long as he was. |

"Of course, its more then fair. I'm sure you'll do fine in rehab. I'll be checking on ya progress and ya know how to find me."
She stood up smiling, then turning she walked out to leave him to his thoughts and reports.

As they walked, he listened to her, focusing on her more then the surrounding people or where they were going
"Nnonn felinne mmaless havenn't beenn interressted inn mme annd forr mme that hass beenn mosst welcommed. I have nneverr beenn innterressted inn a nnonn felinne. It mmakess little sennsse to mme. Ssupposse, I dated a oh hummann" she used human since one walked by her. "We fall inn love and bonnded onn ann emmotiomnal and inntellectual level. It could nneverr prrogrressss passss that. Ourr DNNA is inn commpatible. Annd to be honnesst I would like at leasst to have onne cub, at the right timme."
It was a shame, he thought that other males of the non feline variety were not interested in her. She is a very attractive female and it was there loss if they weren't interested. Speaking of a human male, he glanced at one as one walked by but then focused back on M'Leezz, hearing her tell him she and the human could fall in love on an emotional and intellectual levels, but DNA would be incompatible. He nodded at that, assuming that feline and Human DNA could be compatible. He mentally shrugged, thinking that's what he gets for assuming things. He heard her say that she would like at least one cub when the time was right. He hoped he would be the one to help her get the cub she wishes to have. Perhaps, with him, she would have 3 or 4, as it is normal for Eeiauoan females. Course, she is not Eeiauoan
"Somme have referrrred to mme ass a cat. I ignnore it. I thinnk they do that for onne of two reassonss. 1) they arre ill inforrmmed or 2) they arre trrying to goat mme innto a connfrronntationn. The firsst timme I attemmpt to explainn the differrennce betweenn a cat annd a felinnoid. They cann eitherr lisstenn orr nnot. I ussually ssay that if I cann accept annd forrgive themm forr who annd what they arre thenn surrely they cann do the samme with a felinnoid."
His tail twitched as she said that some, or most, just refer to her as a cat. Humans, he thought, they think that no other race is intelligent other then there own. He then spoke up, in a more observing tone than an accusing one "Hummanns tennd to thinnk onnly of themmsselvess annd I have nnoticced that mmosst thinnk that they are the inntelllligennt onnes inn the unniverrsse. They donn't thinnk of otherr rraccess asss inntelllligennt." He thought of one person in particular "Take Comm.. Colonnel Grannt, for example. Asss forr the two rreassonnss, purrr-hapss, it iss a littlle of both: Illll-innformmed and wanntinng a connfrronntationn, which iss rrealllly ssennsseless"
"I'mm prroud of who annd what I amm. Annd I will nnot allow otherrss to attemmpt to remmmove that fromm mme. Annd I have seenn otherr felinnoidss who have allowed that to happenn. What a shamme."
His whiskers tilted in agreement to that "Inndeed, It is a sshamme. I amm prroud of who I amm as well annd will nnot be mmade innto a pet as hummanns like to thinnk of felinnes as such
Then he spiraled his tail, dismissing the thoughts of humans "Ennough on the folly of the hummess" in a light-hearted dismissal. He would rather discuss her and his possible future with her, both professionally and personally

Jim stood, and slowly walked from the sickbay, stopping, suddenly, realizing that... he wasn't sure where his lodging was. Sighing, he walked, somewhat slowly, to the nearest terminal. "Computer, where is my current quarters on this Starbase?"
The computer brought up the location of the room. Thus, he started towards the turbolift, and stepped inside. "Level 67, Section 37 Baker." The Turbolift jetted off towards that section.
He stepped out and went to his quarters. Stepping inside, her pressed the lock on the door, and sighed a bit. He picked up a PADD that presumably had been left for him, and walked to a chair, sitting down rather heavily.
"Computer, reduce illumination to 45%." The lights dimmed down quite substantially, and he turned on the PADD, beginning to read it. It contained all of the current Terrasect information. He read on, then ran across a message from Mr. Grant. He read it, and nearly smirked. "He nearly blows up my ship and gets his own. Good for him..." He whispered to himself.
Finishing reading the report, and stood with a little effort, and walked towards the bathroom to shower...

"Buforrd, yourr walk annd noww that I ssee yourr face well yourr verry upsset. Is theere annythinng I cann or we cann do?"

Buford was head to the ship he thought he smelled M'Leezz and Grab Foot then he heard M'Leezz , as he turned to see her and Grab Foot
"Buforrd, yourr walk annd noww that I ssee yourr face well yourr verry upsset. Is theere annythinng I cann or we cann do?"
as he looked at her his tail slowly waged "No Nothing use can do, I was head back to the ship shore leave is not much fun alone" he can sense she is concern about him
He shakes his head "Just Missing Home I Reckon" he a puses the watches the some people walk by who stair at them "Just tired of being looked at like I'm a freak on this Starbase" he looks down at the floor his tail had stopped wagging
"I'll be back on the ship, Imz sorry if Iz messed up your leave" he turns and starts to leave

While they were walking, he noticed something catch M'Leezz's attention and hurried off toward whatever or whomever caught her attention. Puzzled, he followed her
Looking ahead, she saw that she was heading straight for Buford, whom clearly was upset or bothered by something. ~ That was a short walk ~ , he thought to himself He stood behind M'Leezz as she asked what was bothering him
He heard what he had to say, that he was heading back to the ship, that it was no fun on shore leave alone. This he knew. He spent many a shore leave alone earlier in his career
Then he mentioned that he felt like a freak with all the people staring at him and his tail twitched a bit and watched him start to leave
"Holld Onn, Mr. Hound" He said a hint of a command tone entering his voice
Buford paused and he continued "Who hass claimmed you as a frreak? I have nnot and nneitherr has M'Leezz. That is a hummann desscrriptionn annd onne I have hearrd mmanny timmes, aimmed at mme. Eitherr I chose to ignorre it orr I cuffed the perrson who voiced it. You should be prroud of who you arre, not llet the hummanns drrag you downn"
He paused to let the canine answer

Location: Starbase 234
Why would the Brass have a meeting with a mere Ensign for? He was nobody really, just an Assistant Security Officer. The thought of having a meeting with the Brass scared him. He felt he had done wrong and had to go through the Academy all over again. Meeting after meeting and a lot more training he then was promoted to Chief Of Security. He had felt proud of himself and thought he should not mess this one up. Knowing that the Terrasect was soon to launch on her new mission he gathered up his stuff and headed back to the ship. When he arrived at the docking port he looked out of the window at the ship and saw how well preserved it looked. All most brand new. He had wondered who was still assigned to the Terrasect and who was assigned somewhere else. He had remember two crew members on board that he admire were Ann and Kate. He was not sure but he thought they were sisters and hoped to see both of them on board but understood if they were not.
Location: USS Terrasect
He walked onward and entered the ship and stood there for a moment and looked around. He had noticed a lot of work had been done and the battle markings were gone. He took a deep breath and let it slowly out and walked down the hallway to the Turbo Lift. "Bridge" he spoke out for he wanted to take a look around on the Bridge first before unpacking his stuff. Stepping on to the Bridge he lowered his duffel bag down to the floor and looked around. He smiled and he felt proud again. He was in AH on how the Bridge was changed around. He had walked over to the Security/Tactical area and looked at the console and other controls. He put his hand upon it being careful not to hit any of the buttons. How smooth it was as if it had never seen a battle day in it's life. He had keep quiet for he did not want to disturb anyone for they might be doing the last minute touch ups.

Hearing a hint of a command tone in Grab Foot's voice, he turns and looks at him as Grab Foot says
"Who hass claimmed you as a frreak? I have nnot and nneitherr has M'Leezz. That is a hummann desscrriptionn annd onne I have hearrd mmanny timmes, aimmed at mme. Eitherr I chose to ignorre it orr I cuffed the perrson who voiced it. You should be prroud of who you arre, not llet the hummanns drrag you downn"
He Looks at Both "No Y'all nor M'Leezz have, Y'all my Friend and I hope M'Leezz will be a Friend. But unlike Y'all Iz never Cuff them and Iz ignore it or as the Human say turn the other cheek Iz is proud of whom Iz am and Proud of my people. He closes his eyes
"Iz may be Canine but Iz has feelings as well, and after a while use get tired of it, Iz don't mean to bring down your leave Iz will return the ship now" He Starts for the ship

He listened to Buford, and could tell he was down in the whiskers and felt that this was something he would need to work out for himself
"No Y'all nor M'Leezz have, Y'all my Friend and I hope M'Leezz will be a Friend. But unlike Y'all Iz never Cuff them and Iz ignore it or as the Human say turn the other cheek Iz is proud of whom Iz am and Proud of my people."
He merely nodded, barely understanding the southern accent, as he had termed it, he used. He said that he had never cuffed anyone, especially a human before. He felt that some people need a good cuff to set them straight
As he turned to go, he spoke again to Buford, with a more friendlier tone "If it's anny commforrt, Bufforrd, you have nnot ruinned my shorre leave"
He was about to say he didnt ruin M'Leezz's shoreleave either but he didn't want to speak for her. He wasn't sure how she would react if he done so

After leaving sickbay she decided that a walk on the base would be nice. So far her concern for the Capitan kept her in the SB medical facility. Now, that he was recovering nicely and working on rehab it was time for some me time.
She saw Buford with the felines. She quickened her pace and caught up with them.
"Fancy catching up with ya." she hooked her arm into his and m'Leezz. "Would you 3 mind if I joined ya. I've wonderful news to tell ya, the Capitan is up and I assume we'll be leaving soon."

Location: Bridge
Pleased on the how the Bridge and his station looked he picked up his duffel bag and entered the Turbo Lift. "Security Office" Remembering the last time he said that was for him to report to the Security Chief and now it is for him to get things organized before they depart. This made him feel a lot better knowing there is one less person he would have to take orders from. He stepped out when the Turbo Lift doors opened and walked into his new Office and Quarters.
Location: Security Office and Quarters
He took a look around noticing how strange it felt that he was here and he was not in trouble this time. at least not yet. He put his duffel bag down near his bed and wondered why the Security Chief had left such a nice Quarters and position. He heard something in his Office and turned to walk back into it and sees one of the Security Officers he use to work with. How strange it felt that he is now going to be giving orders. The Security Officer was only wondering who had became the new Chief and had reported he was ready for duty and then left. James sat down behind the desk and admired the view from another angle and wondered what was going to be his first mission as Chief Of Security.

She looked at the new officer joining them and was surprised at the familiarity she showed. Then she remembered it was the CMO.
"Of courrsse nnot, if they donn't mminnd."
She began to relax, something told her that the CMO was genuine in her feelings. She was curious about the Doctor's accent, which to her was slightly hard to understand.

Watching Buford walk back to the ship with his tail dragging the ground, metaphorically, He knew how he was feeling with the whole universe against him and being home sick on top of that. It was feelings he had the first few years away from home and trying to become a member of Star Fleet
He often wondered what his father liked in such a place. Most of the humans around were rude and judgmental and placed people in different categories. Felines, they saw as mere pets and weren't that intelligent. He worked hard to change that line of thinking and he is still working at it.
He was jarred, and surprised, out of his thoughts when Doctor MacAuley sped passed him and hooked Buford's arm to pull him back, hooking an arm around his arm then hooked her arm around M'Leez's arm. By her reaction, he could sense that M'Leezz is as surprised as he was to see her. He took a step back to make room for Doctor MacAuley into the circle
"Fancy catching up with ya. Would you 3 mind if I joined ya. I've wonderful news to tell ya, the Capitan is up and I assume we'll be leaving soon."
"Hello, Docctorr." He greeted her, still slightly surprised. He then heard her news and his own tail spiraled into a helix "That iss good newss inndeed. I am pleassed to hearr that the Ccaptainn hass made a full rrecoverry underr yourr experrt ccarre."
He heard M'Leezz tell the Doctor that she didn't mind her joining the 3 of them and he nodded that he didn't mind either, thinking they would want to go off and spend some time together
He wondered if the Captain would want to see him before the mission was to begin
