You smile wearily and brace yourself for what, or rather who, is to come. With the mysterious sample weighing heavily on your mind and in your pocket, it’s just the bird you wanted to see.
Eyes-of-Night, a Tyllano whom you first met at the academy as a rival senior officer candidate has since become a fast friend and dependable part of your crew. A nobleman’s daughter with a desire to see the stars, her passion for Research and Medicine eventually led her down the path of the TPN Science Officer — a far cry from the comfortable life afforded to the rest of her family. While known for her keen mind, EoN’s noble roots often show in the way she speaks and reacts to adverse situations — a fact made readily apparent as the hatch hisses open to reveal the owl-like being marching out of the room in a dignified huff.

“This is an outrage! What could they possibly be thinking! Oh-” The blustering storm of affronted feathers stops short in the now open mess hatchway, blinking up at you in surprise.
“Dallas, my apologies I almost ran you down.”
You raise an eyebrow at that remark, looking down at the smaller woman sceptically. “That would have been a feat. Good morning to you too, EoN.”
“Oh, you know what I meant!” She waves dismissively and continues rapidly, “Now, have you heard the terrible news? They have no right to do this to us and no-one else is taking it seriously besides myself!”
“Well you certainly do seem beside yourself.” You deadpan, barely keeping a straight face.
The unamused clack of her beak in reply needs no translation and you press on quickly. “But no, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. What’s got you so worked up this time?”
“This time?! What do you mean this-” She cuts herself off and shakes her head, “No, nevermind. They cancelled our examination today, can you believe it? Even after they let the Alpha and Beta watch bridge trainees take their turn they had the nerve to cancel ours!”
That’s right, you remember now. With all the excitement this morning combined with your hazy recollections, it completely slipped your mind that the trainee command crew were meant to be tested today. Well, you were subjected to a test of your own last night regardless so you can’t say you aren’t happy to hear you’ve been given a reprieve. Perhaps your Father was cutting you some slack in light of recent events? The ever competitive EoN, doesn’t seem to share your opinion, however.
