Charles woke from his three day benge, "who the fuck sets an alarm that early?" He says shaking his head after shooting the clock. Ninth one this week.
A shrike erupted from the next pod over. Dr.Olivia was furious. "The fuck is wrong with you?" The steam leaked into his pod and almost at the next instance there was loud banging at his pod door. Charles opened it, "You owe me! This is the ninth time this week and the eighth time I've nearly been hit!" There was eight red welts on her body. "You know we're it is!"he said,"Breakfast is almost done, if you have time." He offered.
She just glaired.
"Sure." She huffed.
Smiling, he went into the kitchen hub to finish up and prep the cups for coffee. Unbeknownst to Dr. Olivia she had giving the whole unit an eyeful. Dripping wet and angry to the point of forgetting a towel and clothes, she had stormed over to the offending pod.
Forty-five minutes later, a slightly mortified Dr. Olivia called out to Lt. Charles for help. Five minutes passed and he was passing her clothes through the door to her. "Breakfast is on the table, and please lock the back hatch when you leave." He said ominously.

"Wh...." Just as she was about to ask he opened the door and a bizarre of noise assaulted the pod.
Her face turned as red as a dragon's mouth. She gulped, regretting ever waking up today."u understood." She stammered bashfully, then he left.
Aldtara, the new matrien of the daycare, was sitting at her desk, eating lunch as the class slept. Dr.Olivia tapped lightly on the door to the classroom, then entered.
"Day, Ma matrien Aldtara, how are you fairing?" Dr. Olivia asked the woman.
"I fair nicely this day, how about yourself?" Aldtara asked.
"I'm well, had an issue with a brute but that has been resolved." Aldtara giggled at her new friend, oh how naive can you be?"
"W what do you mean?" Dr. Olivia asked
"The two of you have been dumping pheromones like teenagers in heat, you like him and he likes you." Aldtara smiled as she said this.
Dr. Olivia's eyes widened at the statement. A blush rising up past her cheeks. " He likes you as well, Ms. Aldtara, infact he's been talking about you as if you two might have a thing."
"I'm flattered that that young man thinks this old gal is still fetching. But alas I'll be fourteen in two more days."
"How old is the oldest member of your race? I mean if you don't mind my asking?" Dr. Olivia asked
"Seventeen, and she is in the nursing home now." Said Aldtara.
Dr. Argtanis, a heavy bodied reptilian being, sat across Lt. Charles in a small office. "Doc, I'm at a loss. I'm attracted to two females and one is from the ship."
"You refer to MS. Aldtara?"
"Yea, Doc."
"Customs of her race are peculiar, one is considered old and past their prime at fourteen, even though the will live to three hundred years if left in peace."
