Within the science labs, Mika had been focused on the various sensor readings displayed on her console. She was concentrating on her work, only occasionally sipping her coffee, so she did not notice when someone entered the lab. It wasn't until a few pieces of fruit were placed on the table that Mika realized someone else was present.
“Morning, Mika. Here you go, fresh from the vine.”
She recognized the voice as Scarlett's from the previous night, seeming to be in a better state of mind. With the Gorn officer absent from the room, Mika did not anticipate any further incidents. She looked briefly at the gooseberries Scarlett had placed on the table.
“Thank you. I didn’t realize we had hydroponics onboard.”
As Mika picked up one of the yellow-orange fruits and removed its papery husk, Scarlett began to apologize for her behavior the night before. Mika found it unnecessary since she had no knowledge of what Scarlett had experienced. Before responding, she took a bite of the fruit and then offered a smile.
Coffee and tartness don’t mix well in the morning.
“You have nothing to apologize for. I’m not expecting you to open up or share personal details. Besides, my own experiences likely do not compare to yours, so I have no reason to ask.”
