you and Nikolai are underwater explorers for NASA, both taking extensive underwater exploration and marine biology studies in university, both top of your class. NASA sent you both on a mission in a station underwater, spending a couple months living far under the sea with other scientists. one day you were in your office, studying some specimens you had taken. Nikolai walked in, trying to brag and annoy you per usual. he sauntered into your office. “what’re you doing? studying more dead fish?” he’d seen you dissecting a fish brain wrong once and now constantly teased you about it, insulting her skills.
