Jari: Uh... I thought you were about as good as her.

Susan: Same here.
Christie: So did I...
*Crew Lounge. Daya reaches for Susan's hand.*
Daya: I don't know where this is gonna go. Everything still seems...surreal to me. People calling me 'Daya', someone with the same memories as me running around the ship with my name, having a sister... I'm still having trouble processing it all.
The only thing that's the same is you. You feel real to me. When I fight you, it actually feels like you're fighting me - not 'Daya', or some constructed idea that somehow I need to be treated like an eggshell. You treat me like a real person.
Susan: I had no idea you were feeling like that. *holds her hand* I've been feeling so lost and alone lately I guess over been withdrawing inward.
Daya: I've been trying to hide it... Everyone wanted me and Karen to get on and...I guess I just found it easier to play along and pretend there was nothing wrong. Everyone's been treating me like I was always Karen's sister; like I've always been 'Daya'. Until two months ago, I didn't even know Daya existed!
*Gym. Christie motions over to the punching bags.*
Christie: That's the general idea... I just...
I don't want to lose again. Especially not to her.
*OOC: Something I was really meaning to get across is that Christie isn't really as good a fighter as Susan. She has to really let loose and turn their matches into a straight-up fight to really lay into her. She's younger than Susan, and less experienced. She's also cocky, and has an inflated opinion of herself. This is her starting to realise she's not as good as she thinks she is, and that's hit her self-esteem.*
Jari: Dont you have a spartan for an aunt? She could probably teach you. Though I dont think shes here right now.
***
Susan: And I've got that weird power in me that scares me. I want to learn how to use it but I'm so afraid of it.
Christie: She hasn't been here for months and I don't know when I'll see her again.
Besides...she intimidates me. *Seems embarassed.
Crew Lounge.*
Daya: I guess we really were good choices for roommates, huh? We both need someone who understands us. *She holds Susan's hand with both her's and leans in a little.*
Jari: I guess being like 7 feet tall would be intimidating. I could help train you I guess.
Christie: You'd do that?
*Crew Lounge. Daya closes her eyes and goes for a kiss.
Before being interrupted.*
Karen: Hey guys!
*Daya quickly straightens up and tries to act normal, coughing.*
You okay?
Daya: Karen, if you do that again, I'm going to kill you!
Karen: You mean 'try'. *Smiles. She doesn't seem to have noticed their moment. Daya gives Susan a look conveying her urge to hurt Karen at that precise moment in time.*
Comments
Christie: Eh... I'm not that good, Jari...
*Crew Lounge. Daya gets them both a pizza and puts it on the table, sitting opposite Susan.*
Daya: So, how's your day been?

Susan: Good so far. A lot better than some of these past days.
Christie: Fighting? Anything?
I was in a match with Susan the other day. She threw a kick at me and...I don't know what happened but it just laid me out. She kicked my TRIBBLE.
*Crew Lounge.*
Daya; Good. *Smiles.* It's nice to have someone I'm comfortable with...

Janeway is in a meeting with the other top brass mostly attending via Holo
Blackwell: the biggest problem is this is going to take far longer now and many more ships then we planned
Whitecomb:agreed but we can't simply give up not when we have seen what they are willing to do.
Janeway: giving up is not even on the table. We need a new strategy people that's the whole reason I called everyone.

Jari: Sure. *looks surprised but enjoys the hug*
*Daya gives her a look.*

*Daya goes back to their pizza. She then thinks of something and picks up her PADD.*
Daya: Oh, Karen, I found the name of that game you were interested in.
*She taps a few controls and hands it to Karen, with the words 'GO AWAY!' written on it.*
Karen: Oh. Thanks for finding it for me. *She smirks at her and hands the PADD back before going back to her own table.*
