No. My room.

[ It's become too difficult to work with everyone else's memories in her head. ]

Come on over.

You sure?

Unless you're going to destroy the place, yeah.

I'm not going to destroy the place.

Do you still have the kittens?

One of them, and the parents. You can pet them and everything.

[ c: ]

[ clearly that's the selling point. sulu knocks on her door a few minutes later. ]

[ And Carolyn opens, kitten in hand, which she immediately passes to him. Spot grumps from her spot on the dresser and Jones simply peers around Carolyn's legs. Hi Sulu. ]

You'll be picking fur out of your clothes for days, fair warning.

I don't mind.

[ there are worse fates. also, kittens. ]

Am I interrupting you?

No.

[ "also, kittens" is always a good reason ]

I can't focus on much when it comes to working right now, not with all of [ a hand wave to her head ] this going on.

It's a bad month for the shuttles.

[ because seriously who among them is working diligently through memory gate 2013 ]

What if this doesn;t stop?

[ Poor shuttles. :( ]

Then we're fucked, probably.

[ A+ optimism. ]

I don't know.

We're already fucked. We're here.

[ sulu sighs, scritching the cat behind the ears. ]

I knew it was you, you know. Because of your dream I was in.

Better than back home, for some of us.

[ For her. ]

I remember. It was different, in reality -- but I'm sure you saw that.

I saw a lot of things.

[ a pause. ]

Is everywhere like that?

[ A pause. ]

That depends on where you saw, exactly. If it was the desert planet...

No, not everywhere. But that whole planet was.

It was like your dream.

[ which sulu tries not to mention but this is an exception. ]

It's how I knew to look for you.

It was... [ she takes a breath, bites her lip. Holds it, then releases. ]

In reality, it was a lot worse than my dream.

I figured.

[ because things are always worse. judging from her and riddick, the way they behaved, he'd figured it was. ]

[ She doesn't want to know what Sulu knows. But she does, because he's had her back this whole time, and if he knows some of her secrets--

Well. Maybe he'll be a little more forthcoming about some of his own. ]

What did you see?

Someone got impaled.

[ it's a little detached, like sulu needs the distance. ]

[ Her flinch is automatic, as is the way her hand claps over the scars on her torso, hidden beneath her jumpsuit. She takes a deep breath. ]

I'm sorry.
