The princess and the witch

[TheJarl]

Two days later...

"McLowell? Hallo?! MCLOWELL WAKE UP!!!!" Freya knocks on the door of room 57C so hard that Katrina, sitting on the couch, is afraid that Freya might end up hitting straight through the door. "Are you sure you couldn't do this more... subtly?" Freya stopped for a moment and turned her head though she couldn't actually face Katrina because her body remained in the same position so her neck can't turn far enough. "I told you to check where Shadiya was, I have no need for you to educate me about waking people up. Verstanden?" "J-ja, Freya. Right away." Katrina quickly grabs a datapad from the table and seems to do as she was asked.

When one starts to live on a space station without proper preparation, most people have quite a bit of difficulty adjusting to the lack of a proper day-night cycle. This goes especially for a base that always needs to have personnel at the ready to conduct operations and to be prepared to defend the station at any time. Whenever there are some people sleeping, many others are awake.

Yet even when only two standard days have passed, Freya shows no remorse. Lacking patience, she opens the door and steps inside to find out what's keeping Lizzie...
