"W-wha...?"
light... a face... who?
what's that sound...?
mmm? speech... thats it...
"-ight? Karin? Can you hear me?" said Sem loudly, bowed over her friend.
"Don't shout Sem! She can hear you..." said another voice. She couldn't quite place it...
"Ugh." muttered Karin, slowly sitting up in the medical room's suspension field. "Get the number of the frigate that hit me?"
"No time for jokes Karin. Are you all right?" said the unidentified voice. Karin turned her head, slowly and stiffly to face in the direction she thought the speaker was standing.
"Who...?"
"Whaddya mean who? nobody here but me K... sure you're fit to be sitting up?" said Sem, confused.
"Don't worry Karin. I'm not really... here, as such. Although I must thank you for rescuing me. living in a computer system is not... pleasant..."
"Baker?"
"What?"
"You can speak to me in your head karin... it appears that we were linked when you came out of the system so quickly... unwise! Not something I would do personally, but needs must. That Elysian really was something though..." mused Baker.
"Oh no..."
"WHAT?"
"Um... would you mind getting out of my head, if that's where you are...?" Karin thought tentatively. "Only, you are kinda... crazy..."
"Me, crazy....? Well yes, I suppose I was. But not now! My sanity has returned, albeit slowly... you've been out for two days, and the ship is underway..."
"Where are you really?"
"Karin, can you hear me... you look funny..."
"Yeah, yeah... hold on Sem..."
"I'm locked in the captain's desk. Quick work with the holodisk! I congratulate you on that score."
"Any medical staff around? Karin's awake... and she's really wierd"[/i]
