It was quiet in the D-kuul transporter room. Sam had infact hoped that Zarg had come to say goodbye to her. Guess she was wrong. When he had left her quarters the night before he had given her the Klingon Poems. "See you around Samantha Carter," he had said. Sam hoped so, she had begun to like the big guy.

Stepping on the transporter padd she slung her duffelbag over her shoulder. "Energize" she said against the klingon transporter chief. She watched him disappear in a blue shimmer and only in a matter of seconds she reemerged on the transporter padd of the Zion.

"Welcome home Lt Carter," Brill the transporter tech said. "Thanks Brill," Sam replied as she stepped of the grid. "Have you all missed me?"

Brill laughed. "Only during pokernight Ma'am." Sam smiled as she left the transporter room. It was quiet in the corridors and Sam reached her quarters in no time.

When she entered it was dark and quiet. "Lights," she said while placing her duffelbag on the couch. First thing on her list was getting a long hot shower.

She walked to her bathroom and looked in the mirror. A small pale face looked back at her, decorated with a black eye and a bruise on her chin. =Tomorrow Sam decided tomorrow she would visit the doc, but first a shower, a peannut butter sandwich and sleep, not necessarily in that order=.

Stripping off her dirty cloths she stepped under the shower, enjoying the hot rays of it. After this she changed in a soft robe and ordered a sandwich from the replicator.

Taking her plate from it she made herself comfortable on her couch, and started eating. Feeling all comfy and warm her eyes fell close, and she slumped to the side of the couch.

Sam was vast asleep, dreaming sweet dreams.
