=/\= Some Corridor on Unity =/\=
Alecto was walking back from the Blue Note Bar. She had to admit that the champagne truffle salad was very good and was made from real ingredients. Alecto prided herself that whenever possible she would avoid replicated food. Real food was far more pleasant and definitely tasted better. She mentally listed all the tasks she had to perform before she left. Rounding the corner she saw a familiar if deathly pale looking face.
{I need to rest and soon.} Mnemosyme walked down the corridor concentrating on just placing one foot in front of the other. {I'll rest here for just a moment.} She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. {Rest for a minute and then file my damn report.... and then.... hopefully ... I'll be able to sleep.}

"Well I figured that would take a lot out of you. But I couldn't tell how much. How bad is your current state Lieutenant?" Alecto said with some concern. She could see that the healing action had been damaging to Lieutenant Nyx but whether that was temporary or permanent damage was another thing.
{I had hoped nobody would come along.} "I'll live," she responded out of habit then letting on how vulnerable she could be right at this moment be known.

"Probably, but the real question is for how long? I've seen energy transplantation done before and I know that it almost killed the healer even though she is one of the most powerful telepaths in existence. The question is how long would a mundane like yourself last?" Alecto answered bluntly awaiting a reaction.
Nym pushed away from the wall, but said nothing. She gave a small shrug and began making her way to her destination. "I have reports to fill out," she finally offered.
Alecto gripped Nyx's shoulder with a force that it didn't really require. "Not giving the correct answer when an assassin asks a question isn't really smart. Not giving any answer is considered disrespect and you don't even want to know what I did to the last person who disrespected me, so answer my question. How badly did the energy transplantation affect you?"
Nym bit back the wince from the grip, "No disrespect intended; I just don't do well with personal sharing ... with very good reasons." She sighed and pulled out of the grip to lean against the wall again. "He had a lot of damage... not just from the poison... and I need a nap which I can't get until I fill out the reports." {If there is one thing I've learned you don't admit to weakness in the presence of an assassin...especially when you feel like crap.} "More than other times," is all she finally admitted to.
"And the damage temporary or permanent? What species are you?" Alecto asked curious about the answer.
"I believe my file says human," Nym answered as if it was obvious. She closed her eyes and tried to assess her own status and felt as everything inside was moving slower than a turtle... or maybe it was slower than a snail. She opened her eyes to meet the other woman's.

"Human's don't smell like you, they don't show up the same as you in the ultraviolet spectrum and they don't have glowing fingertips outside of a Speilburg movie." Alecto stated.
"2nd Lieutenant Mnemosyme Nyx, 2801865223... I believe that's all I'm required to give," she turned shoved off the wall and started to walk away with a bit more speed then she showed before.

"No... I'll be fine," she answered over her shoulder, "thanks."
"Well stay safe Lieutenant. The world isn't a safe place for unique individuals any more and the front lines even less so. Beware of those who would seek to abuse your gift." Alecto turned to leave on her original route.
{Don't I know It...} Nym thought as she continued down the hall.
