Running her fingers over the console, Mira returned power to systems that weren't needed in battle. Looked up at Chin she asked. "Are you ready to take over this...... chaos." she waved a hand at the console.

He gave her a smirk, "As ready as I can be. That was a wild few hours."

Mira nodded, feeling drained she got up and let him have the console. First order of business would be to get some food. With the system drained on the ship, the mess hall would be the perfect place to go. She hadn't gone before now. Preferring to take her meals by herself, but those quarters that at first felt cozy, safe was now making her feel a little claustrophobic.

This ship needed a bar, she thought as she made her way to the mess hall. To bad it was too small to have one. With more of its systems designed for combat, there wasn't any room. You could order a drink from the replicator, but while it tasted like alcohol you weren't affected by it. ok, a few bottles of the real stuff were going on her list of things to get at the base and a few things to make her quarters look..... like a woman lived there and some more blankets!

She was tired of being cold. After spending 4 years on a very hot world, her body just wasn't used to the coldness of space.
Nothing was wrong with the ship's settings because she had checked many times. it was her.

Getting whatever food was available, Mira sat with her back against the wall and ate without really tasting the food. Her mind was on other things. Pulling her padd closer to her, she started typing a report on the Zaj. Because of the lack of females on the ship, there could be a few reasons for that. One possibly might be the Zaj was of the same mind as the ferengi, but while the Ferengi build theire civilization based on profit, the Zaj might be more based on war.

two would be more the males being the warriors setting out to conquer other worlds and perhaps the woman look after the home and planet.

She added the information about the change in the shields to a rotation one and not their normal fixed setting to keep the Zaj from pulling the same stunt again.
then set the report to the captain.

Rubbing her forehead, she had the mother of all headaches right now. It was from tension that she wasn't used to it yet. In a few more months, it would be normal like it had before.
Going to take another bit of her food, she was surprised to see she had eaten it all.
auto pilot, she amused.

Glancing at the time, she noted missed her slot for the holodeck yet again. Taking the padd out again, she booked the next one open tonight. That would give her time to shop. Have dinner with her klingon cousin. Then maybe drinks with Dax before going to the Holodeck. Nodding to herself. Yes, that would work nicely. if nothing crazy happens between now and then.

Just the Rodriguez came over to the table. "Mind if a join you?" He asked.

Nodding yes, Mira waved to the seat next to her. "Is everything all right?"

He nodded, putting another plate of food in front of her, " Roast beef sandwich." he told her.

"You looked a little lost," he said, knowing the women could always eat.

Taking a bit of the sandwich, then chewed as she thought about it. Once she was ready, she said, " All of this is odd. The attack, them leaving, and even the XO. "

At his raised eyebrow, she continued, "The XO was found unconscious with a head injury inside a locked escape pod? She doesn't seem to be the type to run scared at an attack on the base and lock herself in a pod.

Then what she slips and falls? knocking herself unconscious." Mira shook her head it didn't add up. "We will not know for sure until she makes a report, but I am betting she was hit over the head and tossed into a pod. But like i said, we will not know until she gives a report."
