Night Terrors

[entrtonia]

As Tonia found that she didn’t recognize the voice, she tried to compose herself. Pushing thoughts of what had really kept her awake aside, Tonia attempted to look more awake.

"Just couldn’t sleep. One of those nights. Besides who could when they’re on a huge ship with great places to explore?" 

Her smile brightened as she nodded towards the botany window. For her, this was the perfect view of it. Once one were to go inside it could be a bit overwhelming and hard to see the big picture. 

"Do you come here often?," 

Then, as if the sleep were wearing off, she remembered her manners.

"I’m Tonia. Tonia Barrows. I don’t think we’ve ever met before. As expected from a crew as big as ours…," her voice trailed off as she realized she needed to let the woman, who looked quite young speak. Then again, with Vulcans on board who look to be not too much older than the Captain who was to say by appearances?

"Yeah I understand. Sometimes I have trouble sleeping too." Sam smiled trying to focus on the beautiful woman standing next to her. But she was sleepy and tired from archery practice. She didn't recognize the woman. She wondered what was the woman's rank.

"Not really. I was actually heading back to my quarters when I must have asked for the wrong floor. Sometimes the turbo lift can be annoying." She said as she put her bow in her bag."Though it is a fortunate that I ran into such great company."

"I'm Lieutenant Samantha Hill, friends call my Sam," Sam stuck out her hand. It was only then did she realize the the height difference. Then again Sam was taller than most woman on the ship.

Night Terrors

Tonia’s eyes fluttered shut as she walked the halls of the enterprise at nighttime. Her footsteps dragged as the tiredness kicked in. As soon as her eyes closed fully, however, they opened instantly. She couldn’t risk it. That was why she had left her room at who knows what hour of the night. Thought she was exhausted the fear wouldn’t leave her body if she closed her eyes again. Whose to say she wouldn’t have another? 

Yes, she hated to admit it but as a child she had always had night terrors, nightmares, whatever you wish to call it. They had quieted down for a while, especially since she partied until she blacked out anyway. Partying had become a solution to the nightmares after all. Tonia could never fully recall them and sometimes when she did they seemed silly. Yet, the cold sting, the impending fear, was still very evident. 

So she took a walk. And found herself in front of the botany on the ship. She had only been there once before when Daniel had given her a tour. Her eyes followed the vines and the leaves of the trees, trying to calm herself down. Everytime she felt it safe to close her eyes again, when she thought she had finally calmed down, the fear would come back as if someone had stabbed her for the uptenth time. Startling the sleepiness away from her. Her heart would beat at breakneck speeds again and she’d have trouble breathing. So she’d walk. Walk until the cycle repeated itself. 

At this point, as her eyes traced the shapes of the foreign plants she was becoming sleepy yet again. Who knew one could sleep while standing? Either way, Tonia didn’t notice the person come up to the window as well, so she said nothing until the voice sharply broke through her desire to sleep. 

A bit startled, she looked to her right.

"Oh hello," Tonia attempted a small smile. "Didn’t see you there. Out for a late night stroll?,"

Sam shuffled back to her room after a late night trip to the rec room. She didn't normal do that. But she needed to get some stress relief though some physical activity, and practicing with her bow and arrows was good for her. Now it's way pass her normal bedtime and she was tired as hell. Luckily there wasn't anyone around to bother her since it was the graveyard shift.

Somehow she found herself in front of the botany on the ship. She only been here a few times, it was a sight to be hold. All the many different types of plants, some she had never seen before. That's when she noticed the woman standing to her left.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Sam smiled back. "So what about you, why are you up so late?"

4. She was taught survivor skills at an early age, so she knows how to cook with a little bit. She likes chicken and can make a lot with it. But she hates the smell when it goes bad.

7.  She doesn’t like to waste time, but if she did, she would probably be humming show tunes.

13. She probably would be labelled as bisexual. Though she tends to like women more, from a romantic standpoint, but guys aren’t out of the question.

22. She probably would doodle or plan a military engagement strategy.

48. If she were to get into a fight she probably would use a mix of kickboxing to krav maga.

49. Sam is a realist; she’s as scared of death as the average person. She has seen death first hand, and is mature enough to accept it.

2. She doesn’t have a lot of daily rituals. Her day usually follows the same routine. (Get up, shower, brush teeth, put on her uniform, get breakfast, go to work at her station, lunch, hang out with friends, work, dinner and sleep.) Boring stuff really.

9. She doesn’t wear a lot of makeup. Only for special occasions would she ever apply heavy makeup. Why mess with perfection.

23. She was taught from an early age about the importance of organization. So everything in her room is properly filed and neatly placed.

31. She has an old pocket watch from an ancestor of hers.

41. She likes to exercise; usually she likes to practice her marksmanship with either a phaser or a classic bow and arrow.

Samantha Hill | 28 [Human] | Tactical Officer | Jaimie Alexander | TAKEN

☆ Ambitious, Intelligent, Loyal

★ Arrogant, Blunt, and Mournful

Samantha was the youngest born to the Hill family, as the only girl she often competed with her older brothers. Her family has connections to Starfleet going back as far as the very beginning.  Her parents taught their children to respect their heritage and to honor it. She took those lessons to heart. Growing up, she was a bit of a tomboy, and often hung out with her older brothers (Chris, Shawn, and Michael) instead of playing with the girls in her neighborhood. As a teenage her father took his boys along with Sam, to go hunting. There she learned skills in survival and strategy. Something she took to more naturally than the feminine ones her mother taught her. Her parents taught her to take pride in her heritage. Because of this, she often sees herself as “the youngest soldier in the family”.  When she came of age, she decided to join Starfleet along with her older brothers.

While at the academy she saw herself on the fast track to a good command position once she graduated.  She was a diligent student who often came off as stiff to her friends. In combat training, she excelled in hand-to-hand and became quite skilled in various weapons. When she did let her hair down, she dated a number of cadets, both male and female. During her final year, her older brothers Chris and Michael were on Farragut when it was sent to investigate Vulcan while it was being attacked by rogue Romulans. When she found out what happened to her brothers, she was devastated. After that she was placed on the Enterprise where she was given a command position, though now she’s can’t enjoy it because the loss of her brothers.

She has a decent working relationship with Donnie, though she thinks he’s a tad too lazy for her taste, and she has a deep respect for Uhura. She finds Jesús Olivera to be a fun guy to hang out with.
