Middle of the night Tia woke to find the bed empty beside her. After checking around, she discovered Kord wasn’t in his quarters they had been sharing for some time. After a quick computer inquiry, Tia slid on her uniform and headed for the bridge.

She arrived and nodded to the other NEs there, heads down in that quiet conversation mode people have in the wee hours of the morning. She smiled and stepped up to Kord, “Couldn’t sleep?” They kept it professional when in uniform. But since the entire ship knew of them by now, she didn’t mind letting the concern come thru in her voice.

With the two talking, the night shift NE at comms spoke up, “..Sir?” She said to Kord. “..Commodore Brians has approved a round of R&R for all personnel. Um....would you mind if I ended my shift early to go see a first premiere of the new space epic in the station’s theater? Bouyo Rogers in the 31st century? I hear the first showing has free real popcorn being given out to celebrate its showing!”
