Battlestar Avalon

Mila walked out of her quarters into the Spartan passageway. She had been on the Avalon for a few days, and like Lieutenant Selwyn had assured her she was starting to figure her way around. Moving passed a couple of pilots she overheard something about one of the viper jocks coming back aboard covered from head to toe in mud after getting in a bar fight, and then being chewed out by a squadron commander. Shaking her head she had to laugh for a moment. She knew from her time with Tra that pilots were crazy, but this one sounded like he wanted to piss off everyone in the fleet from top to bottom.

"Pilots" She said to herself as she turned the corner, heading for the Intel section.

As Mila rounded the corner she was stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes flew open wide as she saw Tra Mitchel walking out of his quarters . Her hand flew up to her mouth, stifling a small cry as she watched her Ex-fiancee walk quickly down the corridor and out of sight. Her heart raced as emotions and memories bombarded her mind.

"Oh my gods" She whispered to herself as she struggled to regain her composer.

Mila raced to her work station and sat down. The room was empty except for her and a civilian working the kinks out on new station that had been installed the week before. Watching him closely, Mila pulled one of the pills she kept hidden in her pocket. Crushing the pain killer between her teeth she waited for the rush to flow over her, allowing her to think clearly.

"What the frak am I going to do" She said to herself as her heartbeat started to slow to normal
