"Yeah that hurts...."

"You have a cracked rib Abigail, who kicked you?"

"A hunter"

The nurse looks at her with surprise that she had encountered one, especially when they were on water meaning that they had a rigging. This revelation needed to be notified to command but right now she needed to focus on the patients care, she is a nurse after all. Vestal walked over to the instrument try to pick up a cotton swab for the cut that was on her arm along with her leg. Vestal looked at the red haired girl who looks at her with a stare.

It was a curious one with Vestal giving one back at her, she could see the tattoo on her arm that read "Chief Engineer" With a wrench and a cog above it. "Sector V tradition Vestal", "I haven't seen them do it in a while, or well ever". She looks to the window outside facing the Sector V headquarters with a small smile on her face. "Williams wanted it so others knew who's position was what, for Wolf it came from his father since he was a tech specialist and Wolf took the mantle".

"Did you ever meet his parents?" Vestal asked Abigail but the small smile faded to a small frown shaking her head to her. Ah she forgot about what happened back then, taking a step back she looks down with a frown "Apologises I didn't mean to open old wounds", "no... it's alright" Abigail says calmly waving her sore arms in front of her. "It was Wolf's parents after all I'm still lucky that I got to be with them longer than what Wolf had".

"You know it's strange... to talk so much about another person like he is a part of your family yet you feel as distant and blocked out of the mind of that person" Abigail said however Vestal did not understand what exactly was she getting at there. However whatever it meant, it was something warm to Abigail and that was enough for Vestal to throw a smile, However she noticed something on the other arm of Abigail.

It was another tattoo but this time it was a diamond with a sword through it, She looked away from it quickly as the red ruby eyes of Abigail tried to meet hers. "Well thanks Vestal for that, I guess we are off back to our own base once again". Vestal nodded with a smile waving goodbye to the Sector V soldier but something just didn't fit right with Vestal. Just what was that tattoo? surely it was just something that Abi thought looked nice and put on but if it had something to do with Sector V she was not sure what.

However her mind drifts off the idea as another voice calls out from another bed with his arm in the air. "Hey Vestal when can I leave this bed?" His voice of despair as he begged Vestal to let him go back to his base but she shook her head at Wolf. "I still need to monitor your vitals, you had used that overdrive too much in that fight....I am surprised it did not kill you but judging from when we took you in....you were lucky if you want me to be blunt".

Vestal wasn't playing jokes with Wolf and he knew when the nurse made that signature face of hers that she makes at Enterprise, you know that you have messed up somewhere. Wolf did here from the other nurses that if he hadn't passed out from that overdrive use, the muscles in his heart would of ripped to pieces killing him instantly however due to so much adrenaline that was inside of his body he didn't even feel his heart tightening.

He was lucky he didn't get a mouthful or some smart remark from AK, she was always the one who would do something like that. He was never sure if she was concerned for his health or she was just doing it as another way to humour herself... AK... she was someone that Wolf couldn't understand where he stood with her. Sometimes he could feel like they were good friends but sometimes it seemed like she did not like his company one bit.
