at around 2300 hours on the starship, there is only spock and an ensign at the bridge. spocks sits at his desk on the bridge, his face blank and emotionless, contemplating. the ensign, however, is at their desk completing some scans and staring out the window into space. spock turn to the ensign, confused why they are here so late in the evening.

"Ensign? I find it most fascinating that you appear to be awake for a far longer period of time than the rest of the crew, excluding myself. do you mind informing me on why this is the case?" he says calmly, anaslysing the ensign at their desk.
