    It was one of those nights again; working in the lab, no end in sight - and a much needed break far overdue. You work at Talon, head of the medical unit. As you leave your lab for a brief respite, you glance at the door across from yours - noting that it had been left on as well. The genetics department. Your mind drifts to Moira, the head Geneticist...which you've had many late night encounters with. You two were the only ones crazy enough to be at the facility this late, and would occasionally cross paths.

    You head to the cafeteria' wanting a bit of coffee for much needed energy, and perhaps a snack from one of the vending machines. Your heels click against the cool tile, the only sound filling the dimly lit corridor.

    You enter the cafeteria, the usually well lit area now casted by shadows - minus one light left on for any stragglers. You immediately spot someone sitting at one of the circular tables, their back turned to you and bright orange hair visible.

    "Doctor." Moira said, a single word offered as a greeting. Was she expecting you here? Was she...waiting for you, knowing you'd eventually take a break? Or were you overthinking things, and Moira also just wanted to take a breather?
