Jessica Long

Jessica rubbed her eyes with her shoulder and continued past the body. Along the circular path of the passage they finally entered the control room. The pair set their injured brunette down and Lerato got to work on tending to her wounds. Three other groups came in holding more of the wounded, they left as soon as they arrived. Luckily by the looks of it no one who lived was too heavily wounded. Though that really wasn’t that special of an achievement, most direct hits killed without trying to maim, the Grunts never cared for prisoners or slowing the enemy down.

Jessica walked around the control room watching Lerato and two others stitching the wounded up. Jessica wasn’t a doctor or anything near one. Technically Lerato wasn’t one either. She’d just chosen it as a subject in high school whereas the closest thing to being a doctor Jessica had chosen was chemical engineering. Lerato was the local doctor, at best she was at the level a talented intern. At the least she was just useful.

Jessica decided to play the hologram to kill time. There was no way she was going back to the entrance to clean the dead bodies out.

“Lerato, how did you switch this hologram on?” Jessica asked looking around the projector, she found nothing.

Lerato looked up and her piercing dark brown eyes met Jessica’s own natural brown knife blades. Lerato’s dreaded braids looked terrible, they were tied a bit looser than they had been before. She looked like she’d been in a slap fight and had lost her sanity after being beaten.

Lerato was almost the exact same height as Jessica but even so Lerato still managed to tower over her like a big sister.

“Shit J’ what’s wrong with you? How did you expect us to work if this room is dark?” said Lerato while stitching a cut on the same brunette’s neck. There were tears running down the sides of the brunette’s face but she didn’t get up. Her fists were clenched but she didn’t move until Lerato finished.

“Fine then, don’t tell me.”

Lerato just rolled her eyes and carried on cleaning around the stitched up wound. Leaving Jessica waiting. Lerato had a sumptuous body that made Jessica jealous and feel like she had the body of a pale, often abused, ten year old choir boy in comparison.

“Hey this holographic generator’s pretty big isn’t it?” Jessica said, mostly to herself, naturally Lerato ignored her. Honestly Jessica didn’t mind. She would have ignored herself too by now.

The generator in question was basically a large black pillar similar to the metal squares located all over the ship. It was round and about waist high. Though, unlike the others this one had very clear markings and streaks of a dim blue light emanating from an unknown power source coming from the floor.

Jessica looked around it and under it. Then she noticed something odd. Unlike the other out growths in the ship, on the edges of the hologram machine she could see a thin line about an inch away from the actual edge.

Lerato was finished bandaging the last person when she turned her head and found Jessica pulling at the projector. She sighed resting her hands on her hips.

“What are you doing J’? As if I didn’t know” The angry and stressed voice returned to the sweet but sarcastic, to the point of being cruel, tone that Jessica had fallen in love with in her first year in the orphanage.
