Sharah hated that it took so long to adjust to the rhythms of a new ship. It was a horrible situation in which to make a good impression on her new department head and crew mates. So the only thing to do was to fall back on what had already worked. She spent time in the arboretum, she made sure she ate and stayed hydrated, and to hold the image of surfing strongly to the forefront, allowing the noise, the storm, to rage, but move around and through her and not concentrate on it…or at least try not too. At the end of the first half of her shift she got an official communication from the Academy, from Prof Barswenson. There was apparently a new plant for her research he thought she should look into. It just so happened that the small arboretum/hydroponics bay on board had one of the plants. She requested time in the chemistry lab and she was excited to see there was time after her shift.

She replicated a grilled cheese from the sickbay replicator before she left and spent only a few minutes in the arboretum collecting the sample she needed and then headed to the chemistry lab. She was concentrating on focus and her vision focused and what she needed to do when she got to the lab. Most importantly trying to keep the noise manageable for she’d have to cancel her time. She was not going to cause an accident because she got distracted.

Mark stood in his office, not his quarters workstation but the actual science labs office for the department head. A few other researchers were moving about, and he’d just finished up the paperwork for his shift thanks to shift change. As senior staff, he was always on-call, of course. But that left him free to focus on his own work. He glanced out through the doors when he saw a familiar figure wend through the corridor and disappear into the chemistry lab next door. With a sandwich. And a bundle of something.

It was nice to see her again, which sent a wave of relaxation through him, despite the urge to go talk to her. But … he had something to do. Around him was a holographic display, pages of research and data, along with various mathematical proofs and models. For a couple minutes he continued working.

A sandwich in the chem lab?

Nope. He couldn’t let it go. =^=Computer, save my log. Heading S.F.C.R. and secure workstation.=^= The computer double-beeped it’s compliance as he headed out of the room. Making his way into the main lab area, he slipped out into the hallway and over to the chemlab door, then strolled over to Sharah. “Doctor Fayth… I wasn’t aware my chem lab was going to be on Good Eats though I can say you’re far easier on the eyes than Alton Brown. What’s goin’ on?” He broke out into a grin, just for a moment.
