Nicole walked into her apartment, after the run in with some thieves and likely catching police questioning for hours the next day, she was ready to drink the night away. Nicole put the grocery bags down on her kitchen table, just over the stove. She ignored the food and water, going straight for the Gin that was in one of the bags. 7 Bottles of gin, she needed two to start falling asleep. Nicole took out one of the bottles, starring into the logo on the front of the bottle, she was thinking. She was falling into the pit, she was probably going to hit rock bottom soon if she kept up her habit. She felt beaten, tossed about like some tool with no more use. The odds seemed to be constantly working against her, her valiant efforts in Omega-3 were met with a demotion from some prick wearing an officer's rank, he probably had no piloting experience. Her friends were dead, or worse, amputated. She hadn't heard from her brother in months, he was probably off on the front lines in Leeds still fighting off the Gallics. What hurt the most was the Enterprise, she loved the Enterprise, and its crew. The ship had a legacy that she did her utmost to uphold, the previous captain was a legend, that left enormous shoes to fill. The ship had taken down several Valors and even been present at two of the most decisive victories for the Armed Forces, Royal Flush, and the Omega victory that pushed the Armed Forces exploration to Omega-5 before the Hessians stabbed the Armed Forces in the back. Nicole looked at the bottle some more, having tiny flashbacks of planet Leeds when she crashed. She was alongside some of the most heroic soldiers she'd ever met, all of them sacrificed everything they had for their Nation, all of them were willing and brave. Nicole didn't feel the same way, she was ready and willing, but she certainly wasn't as brave at the time. A teardrop rolled down from her eye as she opened the bottle and started drinking.

Within the next half hour she had gone through 3 bottles and was on her bed about to faint. She was in her underwear, sweating, crying, falling victim to her own emotions and to liquor. Everything seemed to go black all the sudden, she couldn't hear or see, all of her senses were just shunned as she went to sleep.
