With the ship going into a comms blackout and dropping to minimal power while the Captain was off ship; Val had decided to do much the same. Sitting in an out of the way corner of the common area, she had little need for anything like an actual bunk, she’d powered down most non-essential external systems, and had gone into a ‘Hyper-heuristic mode’ to work on a few programs and do some trouble shooting. Immersed in the accelerated computer time she’d worked on some new offensive programs, and their counter agents…just in case. 

The other thing that ate up even her accelerated time frame was trying to find a memory leak in the [I]Revenant’s[/I] computers. So far it was minor, only causing interment lag in some of the ship’s tertiary systems but it’s mere existence offended her on a professional level; the likely cause was sloppy coding during the ship’s initial construction. That said, actually [I]finding[/I] the offending code was proving to me trickier than she’d expected.

Her audio input brought her back to ‘real time’ with the sound of heavy banging on a nearby door. Opening her eyes, Val slowly stood and moved until she could see the source of the noise; Moon hammering on Grayson’s cabin door. The diminutive medic was harassing Grayson to emerge from his lair to eat [I]something[/I], and hopefully shower. [colour=43BFC7][b]”You know,”[/b][/colour] She said idly, smiling at Moon. [colour=43BFC7][b]”Guys like that are why I’m glad I can turn my nose [I]off.[/I]”[/b][/colour]

What passed for excitement seemed to be dying down, and she was about to retreat back into her own head, when she got an alert. Being tied into a data feed from the [I]Revenant’s[/I] senors, she saw the shuttle as soon as the ship itself did. [colour=43BFC7][b]”Captain’s back,”[/b][/colour] she called out to anyone in ear shot. [colour=43BFC7][b]”Hope he’s got a line on some paying work.”[/b][/colour] She had an eye on some new software, but it only came in various flavours of ‘painfully expensive.’
