Susan had been on her way to bed, intending to simply crash as she was, too tired to think about much beside that. Her steps paused in the hall though as she heard a noise. That had sounded like ... breaking glass.

Easing an arrow from her quiver, she fitted it to the bow as she started slowly down the hall. Fighting in tight quarters like this was far from ideal, but she would do the best she could. She wasn't certain what room the noise had come from, so she stood in the hallway, listening. She heard grunts and noises that she could only describe as primal, and she shuddered, her exhaustion all but forgotten. When the door - her door - burst open, Susan didn't even have time to scream. She fired one arrow very accurately, and very soundly, but before she had time to even draw the second arrow, they were on her ...

Lily had slept like the dead that night, though when she woke - early - she had vague recollections of ... breaking glass and thumps. Dreams, she supposed, inspired by one of the many fears playing chase in her mind. She'd checked the network before even getting out of bed, but there were no updates she hadn't seen. She showered, she dressed, and she stepped into the hallway. She froze before her foot even crossed the threshold. Something was wrong.

Leaning forward, sticking her head out the door, she peered down the hall. First toward the end closer to her, the end with the infirmary, and then toward the other end. She clamped her hands over her mouth to trap the scream as she saw the mangled body at the end of the hallway. She recognized the girl by the bow broken over her middle, and Lily stumbled back into her room, slamming the door closed.

For a moment, there was panic. Only panic. Simply panic. The blind animal instinct to run, run far from daner before her humanity reasserted itself and she tried to think. She did the only thing that made sense just then. Reaching for her Blackberry, Lily marked the post urgent and sent only three words, broadcast to the network:

They got in

Even in her unconscious state Parker's mind was having a field day: from dreams of the accident that killed her brother to having seen a small band of Reavers before slipping unseen into the safe room. But when she crash landed anyone could see what the last 2 weeks had done: little sleep, not eating anything beyond cold cereal, not exactly trusting people and not feeling very useful.

But the 2 raids she had gone on had helped. Being able to use her skills and be seen as an equal did help her state of mind but post raids she had slipped right back into the frozen Parker she had become. Because here there was no team to keep Parker in balance and to remind her to eat and to sleep.

Now once the Reavers bit the dust Parker would have to finally start facing her demons. But for now she would have to recover from the physical effects of the last few weeks (nothing life threating thankfully since the worst injury was a bruised rib from the landing and a lot of various cuts and bruises).
