The ship had stopped plumting to the certain death of everyone on the ship and that left everyone fairly stunned. Violet watched Spock leave the bridge first. Her mind was still whirling some and working a bit slow to process what it was seeing. As her Grandfather would be apt to say, heads so full of stuffing I need a bigger head. Slowly however the process of things came to the forefront of her mind, there is no possible way this ship could have just suddenly righted itself. Something had to have been miraculously put into place, someone had to do something. From what she could process of the damage the housings had likely not been aligned in the core which would mean someone would have had to manually move them into place….but who would be crazy enough to do that? Before the name even fully formed through her head she was running, running as hard as she could, running like she had learned running alongside her Grandfather. Sometimes all you could do was run, feel the burn in your legs see things in some kind of blur as they passed, feel your hearts pounding as hard as they could whether from panic or the running it was impossible to tell at this point. The sound of someone shouting…something was not reassuring as she continued to run down the corridor.

Violet came to a slow stop when she reached engineering everything seemed to come to a dull stop. She heard nothing around her and could only see what her eyes focused on in front of her. Every muscle in her body seemed to seize and tense in that moment and both of her hearts stopped, or so it felt like it anyways, the pain that seized her drove her down to her knees. Finally a sound reached her ears as she was on her knees staring ahead, a sound couldn’t be human or even humanoid perhaps some kind of banshee. It was only when she felt a soft hand on her shoulder that she realized the sound that she could hear was her own voice. She forced herself to stop…and continue to stare slowly another voice penetrated the pain and fog that was looming around her.

“I am so sorry lass…..I…I tried to stop him but…”

Scotty…that’s who was speaking and he was choking up as well. Finally she blinked rapidly trying to force the rest of her limbs to do something, anything but they wouldn’t listen she couldn’t move aside from the racking shudders that were starting to move throughout her muscles.

“Come lassie let’s get you to McCoy…you do not look well.”

The voice…Scotty…Scotty’s voice was still choked up but there was a genuine and warm concern for her as well. Violet managed to bring air into her lungs then back out then in following this route several times. Slowly. Carefully. Then one hand clenched tight her knuckles turning white. “Kahn.” She said it softly barely above a whisper and with such a stillness in her body you would wonder if she had actually done or said anything at all. “One warning.”

“Yes…but Violet come now let’s get McCoy to look you over you may need something to help with…everything.”

HELP? What could HELP this?!! She knew one thing that could…and it was not anything McCoy had. Clenching her other fist closed tightly she managed to come to her feet a slow process but as she moved it was steadier. Slowly she gave Scotty’s shoulder a squeeze but said nothing else directly to him. Not a word moving to one of the computers thoughts coming online in rapid fire again, Spock must have gone after the son of a Bitch but even a Vulcan couldn’t take on the type of man that he was he would only get himself dead. Her body shuddered again…dead. Like Jim. No. Don’t allow it to paralyze you again she reminded herself and found what she was looking for in the computer lifting her arm to the old looking leather band she flipped it open and put the coordinates into it Father had not missed the theft yet and like that she was gone off the ship and standing on a side walk in San Francisco. Taking a moment to orient herself and allow her eyes to scan the area she spotted them and she had been right in her calculations two figures ran towards her one with a substantial lead weaving around crowds the other in a blue shirt behind. Just as the tall form of Kahn was about to blow past her not noticing just as he had everyone else in the area Violet drew her arm back and brought it for his throat. The movement placed perfectly with his own forward motion sent the man sprawling backwards through the air and hard onto his back on the ground.

Her voice came out in an almost feral snarl as she moved with single focus towards the form, “You’re not the only one who was built from something special Kahn.” Her eyes narrowed the man seemed to still be stunned that his progress was stopped so fully. “I am the Grand Daughter of the on coming storm…and you are going to pay for what you did…”
