As Simon rose from his bed, groggily as ever, he crawled over to a tea kettle over his counter. He placed multiple tea bags in and waited, imputing energy to boil the water. Simon had no heating devices, but did have a fridge. His gift completely removed the need for them. Soon enough, his blueberry tea filled the room with a nice smell, and Simon poured himself a cup, while looking out his window. It was a beautiful day outside, but he wasn't planning on spending any of it outside. His job could just barely pay for his house, let alone everything else he needed, so his money slowly ran out, and needed to complete a different type of "job" to get back that money, and as an overqualified chemist, there was one shining one.

Just as he was completing his cup, and heading to go complete his mysterious objective, a message came in through his headset. It was Lulu, his Scientific Officer. They had worked for a while as partners, and when she got promoted, he was put under her command. She had obviously started her day much more successfully than him, as she stated, [color=6ecff6]"Good morning, team leads and representatives. This is Commander Botrelle, checking in to remind you of your expected attendance at this morning’s quarterly research forum. We have a visiting guest, and several matters to discuss, so I expect to see every one of your lovely faces in the Oak Room on Level One Below in fifteen.”[/color] He sighed as she said this, and realized his "side project" had to wait for later. 

He strode back into his room, and got dressed with the usual, and headed out to the meeting. As he walked along the street he saw many people, some he knew, and some he didn't. He continued business as usual, until he came upon a very beautiful park, complemented by the beautiful day. He checked his watch, and realized he was quite early, and sat down on a park bench, taking it all in, and brightening his day. He spoke to himself, in a low, but audible tone, [color=a2d39c]"On days like these, I sometimes wish I had a better job, or a higher position at least. At least I can distract myself from my boring life every now and then with scenes like these."[/color] He took a deep breath, and started to read a novel that he read on his small amount of free time.
