Sarah nodded gratefully to Church for his reassurance, but his treasonous phrasing frightened her. The young doctor did not like to think of herself as weak or a coward, but the truth was that the government had broken her will to resist. She still hated the Empire, but she was too frightened of what had happened in PES to seriously contemplate doing anything further about it. Even the orcs paled in comparison—sure they would rape her and butcher her if they got the chance, but at the hands of their brutality she would not survive long. The Propaganda Department might torture her for days or weeks before they finally killed her, just out of spite. And they knew just how to go about it, without letting her slip into shock or merciful unconsciousness during the worst bits.<br/><br/>“Thank you,” she finally replied. She gave him one more deep kiss, holding him close before finally drawing back and standing after it was over. She nudged Daniso a bit and finally woke the young woman. “I’d better clean up here, I’ll see both of you back in the galley.” She leaned in close to Daniso. “Had a wonderful time, beautiful,” she cooed seductively. Sarah was definitely more than open to the thought of being with either or both of them again—not that she had ruled out the rest of the platoon for that matter. With all more important matters of her old life lost to her, there was plenty of time to be sexually adventurous.<br/><br/>After the two other soldiers had said any goodbyes and left, Sarah got dressed and threw all the bedsheets in the laundry shoot out in the hall and closed the doctor’s quarters. She returned a short time later with new sheets and went back in to make the bed. Sarah briefly called  Dr. Sabha again to thank him for the use of his quarters. With all that done, she finally headed back in the direction of the galley.
