Dira nodded slowly. “I think Oscar will be intrigued with the whole thing. You’ll have to let me know how the next stage go. . I can prepare for more alarms too,” she deadpanned before taking another sip.

“You know, just something to think about… what you saw as a lack of self-preservation might actually have been a measure of trust, or at least an attempt at it.”

Kane shot her a look that screamed ‘Oh, please’ and said “She had zero idea what was going on, never bothered to ask, and just stood there while I blew up a warhead four feet in front of her. What you say is ‘trust I say is ‘lacking the forethought to ask a simple question and take the proper precauutions’.” and he took a sip.

She shrugged. Dira didn’t know- she hadn’t been there.

Myqian eyed the drink. “How much of this do you figure I can drink before I need to nap the rest of the day?”

Kane grinned and said “You? Oh, I think that glass and maybe a quarter of another will likely put you out for the duration.”

Dira laughed openly. “Okay, so I’ll be good and stop half way. I do actually have to do work today, even if it’s just hiding out in my office or quarters. Though I have taken to doing daily rounds around the ship and used the last few days to go places I don’t always have time for. It’s been kind of nice.”

She wasn’t sure if she should say anything, but already a few sips in and she could feel warmth in her cheeks. “I took your advice. Sort of. Such as it was…”

Inhaling deeply, Dira blew out a breath. “I’m doing a bit of an experiment of my own right now. Today’s the last day, thank all the gods that might exist in the Universe,” she said before taking another sip. “After some melting down and some discussions with therapists myself, we’re testing whether my telepathic abilities are playing a role in my emotional overwhelm. Haven’t decided the verdict yet, except that outside of emergency use I will never opt to use a neurosuppressant again.” She shuddered.

Kane was silent a moment and then said “And? How is that going?”
