(Backdated) New Clothing

[tasha_yar]

Tasha stood in front of the mirror, her mind frozen in place. The mustard colored tunic covered the waistband of her black pants. Two brass colored pips on her neck reflected the light of the room dully. She was back. This should be making her happy, but she felt oddly numb and distant from herself.

Before she started examining why, however, there was a noise that was utterly alien to her coming from the other room.

"Aggie!" she called.

"Yes yes, you'll be stunned by my creation," she said, affixing the head onto the neck. "Wielding torch," she repeated.

The small dingbot gamely tried to fetch it for her, despite it being far too large.

[tasha_yar]

She warned her.

The blast hit her, and she fell back, tumbling off the chair, knees hitting the back, tipping it, taking it down with her in a tangle of chair and limbs.

She lay on the floor, eyes wide, head spinning but... she was still in the madness place....

"IT NEEDS TO BE BIGGER!" she declared, seeing how large it looked from that vantage.

She struggled, trying to get to her feet to improve it.

One blast on setting one normally causes simple disorientation in humanoids. Two blasts? Unconsciousness.

See the madness is still there, Tasha fired once more.

[agathaheterodyne]

Her hand raised weakly. "Welding torch...." she said before her hand fell and she knocked out.

The dingbot spun to face Tasha, and dropped the torch, reaching for a spanner.

"New order, Dingbot," she replied, checking Aggie's vitals. "Help me get her to Sickbay."

Damn. First day on the job and she has to shoot her roommate.

She looks back at whatever colossus she was building and hopes this isn't going to be some repeat of Kosinski's warp engine.

[agathaheterodyne]

The dingbot disagreed with that order. It approached her menacingly, holding the spanner like a weapon.
