Rand wasn’t sure what it was but the day had gone by fairly well. No late reports, no fires to put out and mostly NO PRANKS. It was getting on Rand’s nerves. It was mid morning, everything was done and that meant Rand had a little extra time. She made her way down to the biology lab to work with Nibbles before she was supposed to meet Randy for lunch. She entered and waved to a couple of lab techs, seeing Alden working somewhere other than his desk she made her way straight to Nibbles’ cage.

Roman was, in fact, not even in the lab just then. Rather, there had been an incident elsewhere on the ship he needed to handle as ship XO. It was about a half hour after Rand arrived that he returned. Unlike a couple days ago, his work was up to his usual standards, though he still looked like he was up at least part of the night. Sitting at a lab table with a microscope, he continued the work he’d been doing before he left, studying something on a slide, and then taking notes.

Up early again the next day, Rand finished the bottle of ice water before stepping out of the office. She bent to tie her shoe and then headed for the lift and deck 6. She checked to make sure there was no scheduled events that day. She’d been up late finishing personnel reports for Alden and Rogers to review today. She’d heard no sound of Alden pacing. She hoped that whatever had been bothering him had decided to leave him be.
