Sleep hadn't come easy; the logic of an AI needing to sleep was a bit hard to explain in itself, let alone how she managed to do it in the first place. Most of the time, she could only sleep for a few hours at a time. Overnight, it was only limited to twenty minute chunks at most.
She wanted to believe that she didn't have anything to fear from this Scott. Her reactions to him, allowing him to lead her down to the brig, providing any answers to questions he had and generally staying in control were mostly to show that there was a level of respect on her part.
But, in the end, the logical side of her brain pointed out that this particular Scott hadn't really sone anything to earn that respect, other than treating her as kindly as a person could treat someone who had been caught running around a starship. That was more than the Starfleet of her own universe would afford her.
Hearing a new set of footsteps coming roughly in her direction, Nance snapped out of the train of thought and focused her attention on whoever was coming down the hall.
