Rand had gotten up early to go for her run, was showered and changed. She hair was pulled back in a neat bun and she was excited. She was going to go see Nibbles and she was making Randy go with her. “Randy. Raaaaaandyyyyy. RANDY!” And she pounced on the bed. “Come on! You promised to go with me!” The aroma of a REAL Scottish Coffee (A Scottish twist on the Irish Coffee, this warming and delicious after dinner drink is made with hot brewed coffee, Scotch whisky, brown sugar, and topped with fresh whipped cream) wafted to his nose. Only Rand could make it like that. “Please?” She batted sad sister eyes at him. “I want you to see Nibbles! And Mushu, if Cmdr Alden says you can.” She bounced carefully on the edge of the bed. “I made your favorite coffee,” she sing-songed. She got up tossing him one of her uniforms. “I’ve even got the personnel reports done for you to give him.”

Meanwhile, Roman had also gotten up early once again, returning to the biolab which housed his animals. In the early hours of the morning, he made his way there, taking a seat to finish his other paperwork and handle his cursory notes for the day.

Randy was, in a word, annoyed. Now he was never the morning person and his sister was certainly a ball of energy, Randy grumbled to himself. He opened his eyes as the scent wafted into his nose, the gentle scent of that most glorious combination seating itself firmly in is brain. “Miranda..... For the love of all that is good and holy that had better be real scotch in there this time because I swear if it’s extract I’ll rearrange your bookshelf and hide your stylus!” A threat that might not sound serious to many was one dire to Rand as the young man sat up and stretched his arms before climbing out of bed. He grabbed the mug and sipped, “Tha sin blasta…” he said softly as he looked at his sister who was literally bouncing for joy with a smile and put the mug down. “Rand you’re the best. Just like.... warn me or something next time will ya? The night before just say “Hey Randy, I’ve got a cool thing in the morning.....”

Oh! He was grumpy this morning. He never called her just ‘Miranda’ unless he was grumpy. But no last name so he wasn’t mad at her. She grinned as he drank his coffee, “Of course it is, I made it.” She sipped from her own coffee, not nearly as intricate as Randy’s but hot and refreshing. “I did tell you! But you were already asleep.” She hummed happily as she cleaned up while Randy got ready. She led the way happily down to the science labs. “So here’s the reports AND those personnel files he wanted. I spent all night on them. These are best to pick from.” She stepped through the door and waited. Randy would easily tell how excited she was. Her eyes kept darting to a cage at the back of the lab, but she stood politely waiting.

Randy leaned over and wrapped an arm around his sister and said, “Of course, you’re the best. And so adorable when you’re excited!” Finishing his preparations he followed her down the hall and read through the reports, “Alright so En. George Anderson, Science, Biology, who raises his own snakes. En. Noname Smith, Science, has a background in Ecosystem Ecology. Lt WhoamI Jones, Medical, who specializes in non Humanoid species. And Lt jg John Doe, Science, who has general studies in zoology. I cannot begin to tell you how boring this all is.” He said as they walked into the lab.

His head bent over a PaDD, Roman kept working on his paperwork. He grumbled irritatedly, reading something off the papers, which he tabbed for later. Any break would be welcome, though today, Roman would not be in the best of moods, either.

Seeing that Cmdr Alden was deeply involved in his paperwork Rand went ahead in. “Good morning Cmdr. Randy has your reports and those files you asked for. I’m going to get started.” She walked over to the sustenance cabinet and grabbed a container of dried berries and another of seeds. She passed Mushu’s terrarium and bent down to look at him. She’d feed him but Cmdr Alden had said only if he was supervising. She guessed he was doing some specific research with him. So she moved on to Nibbles, who was sleeping. She unlocked the lid and started laid some of the food out hoping the smell would get him moving. Within moments she was totally engrossed in what she was doing and not giving any heed to anyone else in the lab.

Randy had no problem strolling up to Roman and being that lovable thorn in his side. He said, “Here are those reports sir. If anyone, Ensign Anderson looks to be the most interesting. Now where are these cuddly little things Rand has been talking me ear off over?” As he plopped the PaDD’s gently on the desk he looked at his sister and chuckled at her total immersion.
