Rosette - Back on Big Blue continued

<snip>
"Thats on the Blue Dwarf.." she thought out loud, and turned to the
boxes that littered the great hall. A crowbar hung on the wall, which
was soon used to crack open some of the boxes. Luckily for her, they
contained basic clothing... Unfortunately for her, the one she had
found had nothing but jeans that were too big for her, and boys
t-shirts. Not having much of a choice, she put them on, and headed
for the door.

Rosette ran through the corridors towards her room, the one place she
had that felt like home... While running, she bumped into a few
people that she didn't recognise, as well as a few she did...
"Hi Rosette, You ran off quickly when we had all those other Blue
Dwarfs!" Efof called as she ran towards him, she couldn't just ignore
him, so she slowed down to a walk, struggling to hold up the jeans
that were several sizes too large.
"Hi Efof, sorry I can't stay and talk... Had a bit of a wardrobe
accident..." she said, hoping Efof would just let her go.
"Oh, don't worry about that!" Efof said, turning to walk back the
other way with her. She cursed him under her breath, but nevertheless
continued to walk with him.
"Are you ok?" He asked her, seeing a red patch on the shoulder of her
shirt, which seemed to be very slowly spreading. Rosette looked down
at it...
"Woah, smeg..." she said, "I didn't even notice!" True enough, there
was no pain... But the wound itself was definitely there. She
remembered it from her fight with the Hymenoptera Jed back on Earth...
Her mind fought for a recollection of what happened after that, but
she had nothing... Just waking up back on the 'Dwarf.
"I need to get back to my room..." she said, remembering that it
wasn't so far away. "I'll catch up with you later Efof, I need to
go!" she said, running off again towards her room. Luckily no-one
else was around, letting her get home without anyone questioning her
attire.
As the door opened, she stepped in quickly, and leant against it as it
closed behind her. She sighed a huge sigh of relief, finally able to
get rid of the oversized and dirty clothes that she had been wearing.
The first order of business was a shower... Her hair was full of
grease and dirt from the floor in the cargo bay she'd been sleeping
in, and pieces of insect were stuck to her...
"Where the hell did these come from?" she asked herself, letting the
water run over her. She dropped them, assuming they had come from the
fight with Jed... She had been hit by him several times, and cut off a
couple of his legs, maybe they'd landed on her? The wound on her
shoulder was still there, not surprising really as Jed's leg had
pierced all the way through... But it still didn't hurt, even with the
water running on it.
Stepping out of the shower, she grabbed a first aid box, and bandaged
it up enough to get her to sick bay... Keto would patch her up, and
besides... it wasn't hurting, so something just needed to be done
about the bleeding. Even with the run-in with the Hymenoptera before
all the other Blue Dwarfs appeared, her blood was still red, and
flowed like proper blood... that let her know that she was still
human. She shuddered at the thought that Jed had somehow infected her
during their fight, but the blood was enough to dismiss that idea.
She got dressed in her own clothes, feeling comfortable that she
didn't look out of place, she began to head towards the Medibay.
"Where are my knives?" she asked herself, out loud. She searched her
whole room before cursing, making a mental note to check the cargo bay
after she'd been to visit the doc.
