Waking Up

Lieutenant Junior Grade Tyra slowly woke up after two hours of being unconscious. She found herself with a splitting headache, but no worse for wares. She sat up on the biobed and looked around at her surroundings. She then realised that she wasn't hungry anymore.

"Ah, you're awake.'" Doctor Lyn Katts said from her position by a medical tray. "I was beginning to think you weren't going to be awake for another several hours."

"What happened ?" Tyra asked as she looked around.

"You were hungry and you attacked me." The Doctor answered as she picked up a hypospray. "You're better now. Someone came in and fed you. I think the Captain might want a word with you."

Tyra stared at the doctor warily. She said nothing else and got off the biobed. She headed for the doors, but was stopped by a forcefield. She raised an eyebrow at the doctor, who smiled slightly.

"For precaution...." Doctor Katts mentioned. "....you got carried away, almost. We had to put you behind a forcefield before anyone else got hurt. I hope you understand."

Tyra shrugged as if dismissing the action. She raised her hand and tried to touch the field, but the doctor stopped her.

"Don't...." Doctor Katts said, taking a closer step toward her. ".....I'll have to lower the shield before you can leave. Before that, Captain Devore has to make sure that you're no threat to anyone else."

Tyra narrowed her eyes at the Doctor and took a step back. She was beginning to think that they thought her to be dangerous. Too dangerous to feel safe around without raising force fields. She followed her arms across her chest in defiance.

"I suppose he's going to have security erect one of these around my quarters as well ?" She asked, her voice low, trying to hide her anger and hurt.

Doctor Katts shrugged, "I don't know."

She then tapped her combadge and spoke, "Sickbay to Captain Devore. Lieutenant Tyra is awake."
