When the medics finally woke Steve up from his healing trance, he was not in the best of moods.

For one thing, the trance had left him feeling much, much better than before-- but had not done much for the virus. A good supply of bandages were able to conceal many of the external signs, but he couldn't very well wrap them around the green marks on his face, his fingers or both of his eyes. His levels were stable but until the virus had gone back into remission, he was stuck in quarantine.

For another, there was no news as far as what had caused GLaDOS to go off on him. No clues as to who found out about him, no sign of who might have done it-- just the knowledge that someone on this crew, who he was supposed to trust, was capable of attacking him like that and there was little to be done about it right now.

And of course, someone had to inform him that Zokez II had been nearly annihilated by the Ohm. The beautiful beaches, resorts and cities-- the places where he spent a happy week relaxing, feeling normal, and spending time with Miku-- were gone, destroyed, the people fled and with no hope of rebuilding. His week had been cut short anyway, but now it felt like the whole thing had been ripped away from him. Even the happy moments he had here on this ship were fleeting-- in the end, everything was now just a memory, stuck in the past and never to come again.

And furthermore, he'd slept through it. The first encounter with the Ohm, the stupid aliens who were the whole reason he was awake on this goddamned ship in the first place, and Steve was too busy sleeping off a virus outbreak that nearly stole his mind from him to help out.

"A mistake" indeed.

Steve was not in any kind of mood at all as he sat on the floor and leaned against the bubble, staring at the ceiling. His silhouette was visible through the dimmed bubble.

"They wouldn't..." Miku began and was cut off by another yawn. "I swear I wasn't this tired before, I'm sorry." She shook her head to clear it and smiled at him. She didn't want to leave yet, and it showed in her hesitation stood up. "But I'll be back later, if you want me to come, okay?"

"Why would I mind? You're you, even if you're a little greenish here and there." And a little scary with those red and slitted eyes, something in the far back of her mind added, but still him.

"If they'll let me, I'll bring you a snack," she promised. "I'm not sure what, yet." She'd have to see what survived the trip to the ship, after all.

His excitement did funny things to her heart and set loose an avalanche of butterflies into her stomach. Sheesh, boys.

"I thought you would like that. Good night for now, Steve." Miku smiled again and shifted her weight.

"For?" Miku questioned and tilted her head to the left.

Miku smiled so hard it hurt her cheek. "That isn't anything you need to thank me for," she told him gently. "Not at all."

She started to turn away, "Anyway, I promised I'd be back later. Please look forward to your snack. Good night."
