Oh that was pain she wouldn't forget too easily. Her OODDS, since now wireless, fell from the hit and clacked to the floor, one of the little screens fracturing in a web like pattern. They were fragile after all. That hit also pitched her forward some where she braced her arms on the crate.
Oh lord, things were going fuzzy and incoherent. She'd passed out enough times to know when she was about to do so. Though as her eyes fluttered and she swayed a bit, she picked up the distinct sound of the oh so familiar purr of her Tempest.
The good thing about being whacked into unconsciousness so many times that you knew you were going out? You knew how to hold off the impending faint as well. So what did she do with her brief ten seconds of lasting coherency? Let the cat out of the crate of course...

Tempest steped out of the cart, and saw his mother taking what appeared to be a nap on it. He cuddled up against her and purred, hoping to wake her and have her scratch his belly. But she didn't. She wasn't moving. She was...
Moving his head near Jelena's face, he waited an eternity, which may have been the better part of second, for her to draw breath before he concluded that she was dead. The cat roared with the furosity of a great dragon from the fiery pits of the darkest hell, his wings flashed out to his sides and the fur all about his head puffed out. The tail spikes sparked out and flared.
He looked possitively cute, save the spikes, when he was angry. He looked about, obviously it was the space rats who tried this dasteredly plot to crush his spirit. Oh, but they would not get away with this. He looked about and saw the Doctor, who was standing over Jelena's body holding a blunt instrument. Maybe he knew where they were.
The Doctor wet himself as the creature roared loud enough to cause hearing damage. He slowly stepped away from the creature, what on earth was he trying to steal? The cat glared at him, and he looked at the cat, thinking it was out for blood.
Tempest jumped at the man, Where did they go, those nefarious space rats! They WILL PAY FOR KILLING MOMMY! "RRRRARRR!"
The Doctor fainted.
Tempest sat on his chest and pawed him. Oh no, He was dead too now. Everyone was dying. Woe to Tempest, for he hath brought this horid fate to all those he loved.
DAMN YOU SPACE RODENTS! "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

How many concussions was that this year now? At least five...this couldn't be good for her health at all. Jelena gave a groan as she shook off her little unconciouss episode. Another plus to suffering head injuries? She seemed to bounce back...her mother was right, she just had a hard head she supposed.
Sitting up in the floor she braced her weight on one hand as the other held her head a moment. Swimmy vision that was never fun. Oh where were her OODDS or more importantly, "Tempest?"

Okay, he and Lillia had done the rounds, and no Jelena. that raised questions, which ment looking for answers. people MIA were always a priority for James since military service. He didn't have a direct way to track her, which made him mumble a curse or two about not putting a racking device in the OODDS when he was fixing them that one time. but then again..oh yes, he did have a way to track her, kinda of. the nanomachines he'd injected her with before from his own bioware. not that it woudl do much good. still have to walked all over every ship to try and find her. so onto the security systems..the ones that had power, using the cameras to try and locate the doctor.
"Lillia, would you mind terribly if I asked you to handle filing the information away by yourself for the moment?"
the robotics in his voice coing through while he looekd through the cameras. after all it had taken them several hours to do checks lacking the calming influence of mommy on some of the more agressive echoes.

The furry little nightmare was scaning the area, searching for the nefarious no-good doers who's name he forgotten long ago when he heard a familiar voice. Mommy? "Mew?" He turned his head around and saw what he never expected to see in a million years. His mother, rose from the grave, and sat kindof.
"MOMMY!" MEW!
Tempest charged at his mother and sat before her, his fur still puffy from his rage, but his tail seemed to go into sudate mode. "Mew." He said happily.

She rubbed at the back of her head lightly. Ow indeed...she was going to have to stop getting concussions like this. Though she smiled lightly at the familiar mewing sounds of her oh so tough little manticore. "Oh good, you're alright."
Reaching a hand out she smoothed at his fur as she waited for her vision to clear back out, gathering him up to her. "I knew I wasn't crazy...you never walk in a straight line." And she preferred it that way. A look across to her to see the downed tech that had tried to one up her. Gently seh pet at Tempest. "Did you do that? Hm? My brave Tempest?" See, she knew letting him out was a good thing.
Another look around to glance her OODDS and she grabbed them with the hand that wasn't attending Tempest...and a frown at the cracked screen. "That's hell to repair..."

Mommy's ok, Mommy's ok, Mommy's ok. The tought circled in Tempests head as he waved back and forth accepting the affection.
Mommy, I was put in a sack and the into a box and then I hit the box and you came, and then you were killed by the space rats, and then I got out of the box, and then he was killed by them too. Then, I think I scared them away. I am a good little god. I protected you even when you were dead. I love you mommy. "Mew."

Settling her OODDS on top of her head she shifted Tempest a little in her hold before standing up a little shakily, one hand was continuously petting over the little creature in affectionate gesture. "They should know better than to mess with you."
Walking over to teh tech she kicked him over to be lying face down on the flooring. Reaching to her ankle where her gun was strapped she pulled out a zip cord. It was duley fashioned into makeshift hadncuffs and said tech was cuffed. What he thought he was going to get away with giving her another concussion and trying to take her Tempest? She didn't think so.
Back to nuzzling at Tempest, despite the pain in her head.

"Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Tempest responded to the affection, he liked being held by Jelena.
The tech remained unconscious, rather unaccustom to the condition, he would remain like that until several hours had passed or until someone revived him.
Tempest, king, god, beloved, has once again saved this universe from evil. "Mew."

"That's right, mew." A little laugh...before she pulled out her security com and made a beep into the security station on the envision. Of course she only stuck around long enought to tell the SF what went down and then she took leave of them with Tempest in hand.
"What do you say we go get some ice for my head? And you a treat for being so brave."

Tempest purred his agremment. He knew that word, Ice. It meant food. But that treat part sounded like a shot. A needle? When was the last time he had one of those.
The image of a smaller version of himself laying on his side in a strange chamber being pulverized with needles came to the forefront of his head.
That wasn't real. Was it?
"Mew."

A short trip to the med bay first, grabbing an ice pack. Sometimes you couldn't beat old fashioned techniques for pain relief. Of course she also popped a few pain killers as well before walking back to her room with Tempest in hand.
Setting him on her bed she went to the cupboard of the little kitchen in her room, pulling out a container. Yes, she kept Echo treats in her room. Why? So she'd always have some on her person...for occassions such as these. Grabbing a few she closed and put the container away before walking back to Tempest, holding out a treat to him. "Here you go baby."

Tempest unquestionable ate the food. Jelena could probably feed him his own leg while it was still attached to the rest of his body. He gobled it up, and lay on the bed, and yawned. He closed his eyes and fell quickly into slumber.

Jelena watched him a moment as he slet curled up on her bed like any other normal cat would. She wished she could take a nap...but with a concussion that wasn't allowed. You may never wake up again. So pulling out the chair from her desk she took a seat and swiveled arounf, one hand holding ice to the back of her head.
Her attention was caught by the pictures on her desk and her hand reached out to pick up on in particular. It was of her and her family...they all looked so happy. Why? A group picture taken to show how they were all proud of her...as she was holding up her certification and acceptance papers to be on Fleet up for view of the camrea.
...she could still hear them laughing, and praising her. The hugs and kisses, the congradulations and the planning. She had been scheduled to leave a year from that day seeing as the ship was being outfitted for her. She would only be leaving three months later. Leaving in a less than happy mood, with no family to see her off...under high security measures and just the clothes on her back and a briefcase of her plans and formulas.
Sometimes she thought the price she paid wasn't worth what she had been granted.

It really didn't take too long to find Jel in her room, with Tempest, and an icepack on her head. that made him want to know why she had an icepack on her head, and he took to looking around, and found said unconcious tech, and said broken computer. both of which were picked up, and delivered to Erik at the FS headquarters.
"I think we have a small problem."
