Jane got off the elevator the next morning and heard the crew talking before she rounded the corner.
“Oh, he’s down there all the time.”
“Well, it’s the next best thing, isn’t it?”
“It is a bit mesmerizing.”
Jane recognized that last voice, but not the others. That last voice had been Ken Donnelly.
“Talking to her, isn’t?” Ken continued. “She’s all rapt attention and willing to listen.”
“Yeah, she’s never once said: I should go,” Gabby cut in and the room erupted with laughter.
“Still,” came the serious voice of Javik. “It is dangerous. And if the Turian is transferring his feelings to this…copy then we have another member of this team whose sanity might be in question.”
“Oh, haven’t you figured it out yet, Prothy?” James asked. “You’re the only sane member on this damn ship.”
“Which would make me insane to continue on here,” Javik quipped and the room broke into laughter once again.
Jane stood there for a moment before she rounded the corner and walked past them. The crew greeted her with a few good mornings and the crowd began to break up. Jane went straight passed the kitchen and headed for the main battery.
