Mission: New Faces and Terror Beyond
Location: Snyder's Quarters

IC:

Jack read the report following the attack on the planet and his own investigation of the incident pointed towards the Science department. It seemed that an officer tasked with monitoring sensor feeds and relaying pertinent information to the teams was more focused on improving efficiency and as a result attention was missing at a critical moment. That lack of attention contributed to the lost lives.

He'd yet to submit his report to the Captain, though he knew of the lives lost he was unaware as yet as to all the facts, facts that Jack now had. Not at liberty to discuss this with anyone until he'd spoken to the Captain he wanted to drop by Samantha's place to check up on how she was doing.

Snyder's Quarters

Restlessness was taking a toll on Sam's patience as she was a marine not an infant, she'd gotten into fights and taken injuries before though admittedly this was the worst to date she wanted to do something over nothing.

Annabelle had made frequent visits and Sam appreciated that, she was a comfort that brought a measure of stability to a troubled time in Sam's life. Having all the free time meant that Samantha could think about things with Annabelle. The more she thought about it the more she felt she had to thank Annabelle for. As a result of Annabelle becoming apart of her life she had started to see herself more as a woman instead of constantly a marine. She wondered if she'd grown up in a shell all her life and Annabelle had cracked it open and brought out this woman, exposed her to new ideas and perspectives and Samantha actually came to several realisations.

***Door Chime***

"Come in." Samantha spoke putting her book down into her lap. The doors opened to see her friend, Jack, standing there in the doorway.

"I hope I'm not interupting?" Jack asked.

"No, please. I could use the distraction." Sam spoke waving him in. "Help yourself and take a seat."

Jack went to the replicator and replicated some Coffee, not his usual drink but with all the new duties he found himself more mentally drained than usual. He took a seat and leant back in it. "How are you feeling?"

"Like a caged rat." Sam sighed. "I need to get out of here, I'm going insane."

"I don't doubt it, but you heard the Doctor." Jack spoke then took a sip from his drink.

"Do you have any idea what I can do? If I go stir crazy in here I can't be held responsible!" Sam continued.

"Then it would be unfortunate if I were to place you under constant guard to make sure you behave yourself wouldn't it?" Jack joked. "Besides, take the time off. You need it to recover and lets be frank, you have more leave time built up then most of the department combined, I mean when was your last leave?"

"6 years ago, but I don't see what that has to do with anything." Sam replied aggitated.

"It means you need a break, relax and unwind. The department can do without you for a awhile." Jack smiled after speaking.

"Oh.....that expendable am I?" Sam returned.

"Sam, you know what I mean. You just suffered a serious injury you can't honestly expect to just bounce back into the saddle from that. You need time to recover.

What irritated Sam the most was the knowledge that Jack was right.

The door security had been keyed to allow entrance of Annabelle when Samantha was occupying the quarters, suddenly whooshed open and Annabelle gracefully entered. Not seeing Colonel Frost, She moved right up to Samantha and gave her a full contact passionate kiss on the lips.

Jack was just starting to stand when Annabelle walked in, they had not officially met yet but Jack knew of her, recognised her from a quick check on the database. What caught him off guard was the sheer passion Annabelle seemed to put into the kiss, it was full on, arms around, tongue twisting kiss. Shock, surprise or arousal at what unfolded before him came as a trio as he stood there silently.....it would be rude to interrupt after all.

Annabelle ended the kiss and stood up. She looked around and came to a stop when she saw Colonel Frost standing there. She turned bright red. "Huh.. hi!" She blurted out. Unsure what to do next. She glanced at Samantha.

Samantha smiled and put her arm around Annabelle holding her close. "Annabelle this is Colonel Jack Frost, avoid the pun. Jack this is my partner, Annabelle."

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you." Jack spoke with a reassuring smile. "Samantha speaks fondly, and often of you." Giving Samantha the same smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Annabelle stayed close to Samantha with her hand on Samantha shoulder. "I honestly didn't know you was here. Can I get you a drink? Refreshments?" As she was familiar with Samantha's quarters as much as she was her own.

"I'm fine thanks." Samantha answered. "Jack was just seeing how I was going, apparently he knows me a little too well when it comes to recovering and doing little." Sam playfully glared at Jack for his strong arming tactics at keeping her out of work.

"Because I know what you are like, you are on leave until cleared for duty so enjoy it." He looked at Annabelle.

"Make sure she enjoys it."

Annabelle stood a moment, lost in thought. She nodded absentmindedly as other thoughts raced through her mind. "Oh I will..." She smiled as she looked at Samantha.

Jack sat down again. "So...you are the one causing my Exec somuch trouble...." Jack smiled at Sam knowing he was jesting with her. "She talks about you often you know."

"Just enlightening her on things outside of being a Marine she seams to have forgotten is all." Annabelle smiled fondly at Samantha, then gave Jack a warm smile. "She just failed to mention you're more handsomer than your pictures. We ought to get together for a threesome. No uniforms involved." Mentally to herself ~~ and no clothes...~~ A slight blush appeared on her.

Jack had to really hide his initial reaction. "Um." He was also trying to hide the large smile. "Sure." If he wasnt hot under the collar, soon would be.

Samantha saw the pass, did Annabelle just do that? In front of her? "If you will excuse me." Sam felt very exposed, the one person that brought her out of her shell and as soon as someone handsome appears she feels abandoned. Sam went to the bathroom.

Jack watched her go. Male intuition told him to leave. "I don't think she took that well." Jack replied. "Listen, I don't want to get between you two and you mean more to her than she will ever admit. You have changed her for the better even if she wont admit that too. Just......don't brake her heart ok?" Jack then left, leaving Annabelle to face the inevitable reaction.

Annabelle watched Samantha flee the room. Not the usual 'I'm going to get something and return type', "Yeah... Nice meeting you." She kept glancing at the door that Samantha took and back to Jack. "Thanks for stopping by. It made her day. Really." She wanted to go and drag Samantha back out. She ended up being hostess. "I'll give her your regards. Colonel."

Sam walked out after Jack had left, she didn't know how to feel, angry, upset, violated, betrayed. She returned to where Annabelle was. "What the hell was that? Making a pass at my CO....in front of me....really?"

"A pass? How?" Annabelle looked puzzled at Samantha, turning to face her. Seeing the myriad of warring emotions on Samantha's face.

"How handsome he is, a threesome...seriously?" Samantha stood there not sure how to feel bar angry ad betrayed. "So....what....I'm good enough to sleep with but see a man you fancy and I cast aside like a china doll?"

"Oh!" Annabelle exclaimed once it dawned on her what had Samantha all riled up. "I'd never do that Samantha!" She advance slowly towards her. "I was referring to a dinner so we could talk some more. You have to admit he is handsome and gets your blood flowing." Reaching out to place her hands on Samantha's hips.

"Ugh you are truly unbelievable." Samantha walked to the windows. "I get this isn't a first for you but it is for me and that's the last thing I needed to hear." It slapped Sam in the face as to why she had stayed single and now she was exposed to a relationship, it bit her in the ass.

Annabelle could see by the way Samantha turned away from her as she was still blossoming and in that fragile state of being in her first relationship. She moved next to Samantha where she could be seen without to much trouble. "I'm sorry to be seemingly inconsiderate. Even couples talk about others." She spoke softly. "I'm here for you and to help you blossom and explore your sensuality. I find you very attractive and are special to me. I may admire others and say so. Yet I'm still here for you."

Annabelle stepped closer and wrapped an arm around Samantha's waist. "If I didn't care for you. I'd never would've spent the long hours next to you while you're recovering from that incident on the planet. Every free moment I had I was at your side."

Annabelle brushed a soft kiss against Samantha's cheek as she hugged Samantha closer to her. "I aint that easy to get rid of. Tomorrow we'll spend some time in the holo-deck doing women things together. Like shopping for a whole new wardrobe for you."

Sam sighed, did she have a point or simply making a mountain out of mole hill. She hugged Annabelle, held on to her, drawing some sense of stability to an already rocky world for her.
