Feeling rushed

[ElaineDelgado 0]

Elaine looked around the cave while Brian and Zack sat talking about their destination. She kept quiet, watching them intently when they said something of interest and then once again she was looking around nervously.

 

Everything about this mission felt a bit rushed to her. One moment she was in Engineering helping that Trill… Admiran wasn’t it? Then Crispin had walked in, given her a wink, and alerted them to the fact that the shuttle was about to be launched. She had gone to the shuttle bay as instructed by Corizon and had been quickly pulled into the shuttle by Zack.

 

Before she knew it, the shuttle had launched, they had been beamed down to the surface of the planet, and they were… here. Not the most enjoyable thing, covert missions. Chewing on her lip, she hoped nothing would go wrong. For a moment she gave in to the sick feeling in her stomach, into the fear, in to the fact that her hands were shaking. Then she quickly clasped her hands together on her lap, and watched Zack draw a map in the dirt. Making a resolution to not be so fearful can sound like a jolly good resolution at first. Then you hide behind bushes and in caves and what not. Not so jolly then.

 

She had been sure to stay as close to Brian as possible. He was, after all, the one most likely to respond to a situation with heroics and get himself hurt. That, and he knew how to use a phaser a lot better than Elaine…
