As the new captain of the Invincible II you never really got a break. Working, fixing problems, charting courses, and having to stop Mark and Celci’s bickering, a break was something you never got.
The time was now 01:34 and you were in the bridge all by yourself. Listening to the hum of the engines as you close out a tab you’ve been forced to work on for hours. Now presented with the view of the stars that you gaze across. A wonderful sight to lay eyes upon. You watched as space rocks and junk fly by. It was so calming... Until you heard footsteps walking by.
That was strange. Who would be up at such an hour? You look over to see it was your head engineer, and right hand man, Mack. Still in uniform, you never see the guy without it. He noticed you staring out the window while hunched over the control console and spoke with his snarky, judgmental tone as usual. “Captain you know you should be sleeping in cryo. What are you doing up?”
