Phase Seven: Passing through

[A dose of Rim's coffee may have revived Laura enough to help out against HALO and Alessandra's strongest tea may have kept her going through a little of the post-victory jubilation, but it didn't take long for fatigue to return in force and only now, hours later, has she revived enough to potter about the ship looking for people to congratulate

[You find Rim in the kitchen in charge of coffee and only coffee. It seems as if she had been barred from helping with the cooking in any way.]

Ah hey Laura you're looking a lot better!

[emorangerpink]

I had the luxury of getting a night's sleep without expecting the other shoe to drop at any time, for once. Who knows, maybe we'll all have a few more of those from now on.

Thanks, by the way. If it weren't for you I'd have been out since the fight with General Ysmir. You did get some rest yourself, right?

[amber_damsel]

I didn't do much besides making coffee.

[There's a awkward laugh from Rim at the second part.]

Technically I was resting during that fight with the enemy General...

[emorangerpink]

Not the kind of rest that substitutes for a soft bed, though, I imagine.

Can I give you a hand with anything?

[amber_damsel]

It's not so bad, the body might be weak but one of the minds is strong.

[Rim points to some mugs on the table.]

I was thinking of passing out some coffee to the crew. Having a second person would help a lot.

[emorangerpink]

That sounds like a great idea. I imagine a lot of people are either worn out or still pushing themselves.

Ummm... I don't know how this works, or if I should say this, but... thanks. To you, or her, or both of you. It was good to have everyone in that fight.

[amber_damsel]

I'm glad you agree.

[She passes several of the mugs to Laura before taking an armful herself.]

I'll be sure to tell her when she decides to wake up...and...thank you for treating her as a an actual person.

[emorangerpink]

Just following your lead. You're the expert, right?

[On both coffee and Liana, come to think of it.]

So, where to first?

[amber_damsel]

I guess so huh.

[Maximum smiles from Chris.]

The hangar would be a good idea I think.

[emorangerpink]

True. If I know that lot, too many of them have probably kept working ever since the fight without a break.
