Tank Borne

Part 7: Time to clean up

Liana slept for the next twelve hours recovering from  the bullet wound she got from Parker.
Speaking of Parker he was sitting on the floor in his tight space of the air lock. Syn-syn went over and looked at him through the glass.
Parker was asleep at the time, sitting with his knees to his chest and his head in his folded arms. Syn-syn looked down at Parker's heat signature and chuffed loud enough for the man to feel the slight vibration.

Syn-syn saw his heat rise from a dull green and orange to brighter orange and yellows. His eyes were a blue signature to Syn-syn and he saw that Parker's face had less head than the rest of him. He was afraid that's why, and Syn-syn growled at the air lock wishing he knew how to flush the guy out but it seemed his friend wanted him alive for something.

Syn-syn left the man after making sure he was scared and knew his place on the shuttle. He headed to the cockpit and sat in the pilot seat. He could smell Liana's blood but ignored it to look at the control deck. He couldn't make out one switch from the other hardly. All he saw was a cold solid looking surface with warm spots where the lit up buttons created heat. He thought back at how Liana started and flew the shuttle. The buttons were warmer than the rest of the console so he knew they were there, barely visible to him but thinking back he could some what remember where she pressed them.
He pushed a few and the shuttle shuttered. He found a map and near by planets showed themselves but he could make out what was what. To him it was just small dots and balls of color. He shut the map off and returned to where Liana was.
In the sleeping quarters he ducked through the doorway and pretty much had to keep low everywhere he went in the shuttle. He was so tall everything was cramped to him. He looked over to the cots and saw Liana finally had her eyes open and she was sharing with her feet hanging over the edge now.

She looked at her scanner which had comms and a time setting. Also it was linked to the shuttle and she could pull up maps and basic controls. The time was what she was looking at and the date.
Anger boiled inside of her and she looked up at
Syn-syn saying, "you see this shit? I didn't realize they had me asleep the whole time you were growing in that tank!"
She raised her arm and tried to show him. Syn-syn just frowned not understanding what she was raising her voice about but only could think it was about the male in the air lock. So he pointed towards where he was.
She saw this and frowned, she let out her own frustrated growl long sound and said, "that's right. That bastard has to answer some questions for me"
After that she stepped onto the cold floor with her bare feet. Liana had to try and steady herself by holding onto the bed because of the pain at her left side. She looked at her side and lifted her shirt not caring that Syn-syn was watching. Her bandage had blood soaked through it but she could feel the bleeding was mostly stopped.
She looked back at Syn-syn and pointed to her would and said, "I need to change it and clean it. Where's my pouch?"
Syn-syn cocker his head to the side not understanding which she thought was cute but then he looked at her wounded area again and remembered the bag she had all the stuff in and left to go get it.
Liana smiled, quick leaner huh, she thought and took off her shirt and headed to the bathroom. The bathroom was connected to the sleeping quarters but was more of a large standing shower with a bench that had a built in toilet and sink all in one.
You'd walk in and close the door. To the left was the shower head, in front was the bench with a toilet seat all the way to the right and a sink to the left. By the door to the right when you gave the outside of the bathroom was a control panel for different settings.
Dry, humid, and shower. Meaning you could bathe and wash clothes then hang them up on the hooks by the control panel then just dry to dry the room and clothes. Humid was for a sauna setting or to get wrinkles out of uniforms.
Liana walked in and shut the door to use the toilet. She took off her pants and panties and left them on the counter, along with her shirt, by the sink to wash them. Then she used the toilet naked and wiped, when done the toilet would seal and eject waste into space after it would shred and compost the waste.
When she flushed it she locked the toilets air lock and sealed it then turned the setting to shower on the panel. The water kicked on and she adjusted the temperature to wear she liked it and removed her bandage. The whole area was bruised around it and got water wasn't helping the swelling she had. So she started to wash her hair but the soap hit her side and she started bleeding again. Not much but the soap made it hurt and burn like hell! Fucking moron! I shouldn't be washing with it open but damn I stank! She thought cursing herself. She heard the door slide open and turned around still rinsing her hair. It was Syn-syn who came in and he was holding the medical bag. Liana blushes and turns around standing under the water. Her side is throbbing now and she shuts off the water. In the wall by the control panel is a sealed cabinet with a slide to the side door that held towels and soaps. She grabbed a towel and put it over her body. Turning to the giant Youtja in the room she said, "girl can't get any privacy? Oh well I'll take that." She extended her hand to get the pouch and Syn-syn handed it over but didn't leave when she set the room to dry and put the pouch on the counter to dress her wound. She looked over at his reflection in the mirror and saw him staring. The towel was only covering her front half so she wrapped the towel around to cover her ass but she had to turn and say, "hey um. I have to dress this and can't do it with the towel."
He looked into her eyes then at the covering she had and got what she was saying about needing to take it off so he said, "take it off then."
Liana frowned and said, "hell no. Not with you in here half naked... can you come back when I'm done?"
He got the feeling that she didn't want him there and felt like she was being ungrateful after he brought the pouch she asked for.
