Personal Log to self

Spartacus sat in teh cell leaned against the wall with her legs curled under her; it was her watch and she had rapidly found out that fighting is not to be taken lightly.

"Note to self, put this in the log when I am rescued; note that I beklieve I will be rescued. Third time is said to be the charm; if I get out of here can I rest assured in my confidence I will not be a slave again? Will being here really bring out the 'Genie' that I feel only while I let my hair down? It is scary for me to be confined; Sparta Rule is 'Cold and dark seem to last forever, but only Seem that way.' How I came up with that is beyound me?"

Spartacus used her jacket like a blanket to cover her and it added to the illusion she rested. In reality she had opened her mind ot more of the Slime that inhabit this place, it was a time of rest, she sesed it from teh other Prisoners and their realxing for a time. A planet in all possibility; she had no idea how long she slept but since she arrived she knew it ad to be close to an Earth Day time wise.

"The sun was out when I fought and in the sky I would guess a from the dull reflection on the panels that gave some light to the fighting area it was nearer dusk, the meal came several hours later so I guess that would be about dusk or maybe later? I did not notice any exterior lighting so I doubt they use it much, the 'fans' tend to like to be awake and excited so most humanoids do this during daylight hours.

She chuckled to herself.

"I am scared, I cannot afford to shake as Counselor it is for me to take the role of Morale Officer; my fears hindered that duty at first; I will talk to a collegue later about it but for now I must make the decision to put a brave face on at all times. The crew need me to be strong, I need to live up to those expectations, I need to promote hope."

She noted movement near her.

"One of the Security people; I should have asked his name but I am so tired, came to tell me I could sleep. When I started to lay my head on the hard floor when the young Officer put his jacket as a pillow for me. Spartacus had maintained her heritage and was not letting the Genie out, this young man did it out of his own kindness. I now believe there is hope of surviving?"

Spartacus slowly dozed into a slumber with that thought.
