Mel was keeping her pace fairly slow, but it was still a decent workout and now she slowed a bit more to a casual walk. She had been at least mindful of the fact that her body had gone through quite a change carrying twins and it wasn’t going to be back to what it had been at the snap of her fingers, nor without work. “Count me in. I’ll have to check that Jon can be home to look after the twins, but I should be able to sneak away, I think.”

“While you’re here Commander, I figure I might as well broach a topic with you. Wasn’t sure if I should go to you first or the CSO, but the Captain suggested and gave me permission to get back to working and do so here on the Ogawa. I used to be a scientist, long before I ever trained in Command, and the general feeling is that it would be good for me. I’ve… been having a difficult time switching to being a full-time mother,” Mel said, keeping her tone quite casual, despite the flurry of emotions it stirred internally.

Kyren entered the gym, and immediately noticed the collection of people already within, giving them little more than a friendly glance before heading to the weight machine. She had to tinker with it a bit quickly to set it to her desired settings, but was quickly ready to start her bench pressing.
