Varieties of different lush planet life from all over the galaxy covered almost every inch of available space in this singular room, the room resembling more of a greenhouse than an place a person would sleep in and let alone live in. The floor had small walk ways, each one leading to the only clear spots that the plants had yet to invaded in the small bedroom space but that was the way the owner preferred it since it reminded her a bit of home. It wasn't to say that she collected them for her own pleasure though since almost every plant within the confines of the area had a medical purpose but she wouldn't deny the scent of the flowers were relaxing and the feel of the foliage gave the utmost comfort. Sadly, even the plants held no effect on Luirae Driani this day since sleep had evaded her and everyone else for the last few days since it was always one constant battle after the next as the Rats continued their rampage on the Monroe with barely no moment of peaceful escape. It was easy to see that if this pace kept up that it would be detrimental to the crew but right now nothing else could be done and Rae had far more important matters than to worry about herself. The safety of the others was all that mattered to her and she would continue to work hard even if she wasn't in the infirmary. 

At this very moment, the multicolored woman was arched over her desk and peering into the microscope that sat on the neat little desk as her free hand quickly scribbled down notes. She was taking in every reaction on the slide but it was not giving the results she had hoped for which cause her to sigh as she plopped back into her chair. She tilted her head up to the herbage ceiling, trying to think of what she could do differently to cause a better reaction since she was so close to what she needed but close wasn't good enough. If she hadn't thrown her long hair up in what the humans call a "ponytail" (such strange names humans had for things) earlier than Rae would surely be racking her fingers through it once more which is why she had pulled it up in the first pace. Orange-ish irises slowly looked away from the roof, her focus going back to the desk as she reached for the porcelain tea cup, taking a long slow sip of the warm liquid as she let her mind slow down a bit. 
[i]I haven't tried that combination yet...one more try wouldn't hurt and then I will do as Atlas asked of everyone...[/i] 
That thought in mind, she set her cup of rose tea down before standing which caused her to retie the loose baggy pajama pant she had chosen to wear, readjusting the tank top she had on back into place as she moved over to the plant she had stood up for in the first place. It wasn't long before it was ground up and liquidized before being added to the previous cocktail that was in the microscopic slide. Once everything was set, she carefully took out a vial of purplish goo and used an eyedropper to suck up a small amount. Rae moved it carefully to the mircoscope, peering through the lens as she adding the goo to the concoction she made and watched the reaction. A large grin painted on her face, a sense of victory and relief filling her at the things she was witnessing. Rae jotted down the mixture quickly, the amounts and everything written out clearly while they were still on the brain.
[i]Now all I need to do is speak with Atlas about...[/i] 

[color=ed1c24][b]ALERT. ALERT. ENEMY SPACECRAFTS DETECTED[/b][/color]

Rae's thoughts were instantly interrupted, the alarms and warning system now in full swing to notify everyone that they had more unwanted company. She didn't waste anytime as she grabbed her gun belt, slinging it around her waist and buckling it up fast before grabbing what little amount of her project that was left. She placed it into the free pockets of her belt before rushing out of her room, heading for the bridge since she knew where Atlas would be headed and she planned to meet him there. It was a fast process, she ignored the others as they moved to their stations and she moved out of the way as she went on standby, ready to receive orders. 
 "Marauders in position! These might be the last of 'em, and if they're not, I hope you got some sort of antidote for their poison teeth, Doctor." Raymond spoke and she straightened. She would not speak her nickname for the man directly talking to her in front of the others, her respect for him to great to be personal or show emotion to some that had yet to earn her trust.
"Yes Captain, I believe I have finally perfected an effective antidote to the enemies poison though I suggest that everyone still avoid being bitten. I have yet to test it with everyone's blood so I am not sure how the antidote's effect will be on everyone." Luirae reported in a soft calm voice but with much seriousness in the tone.
