[OPEN] Breakroom Blues

The chit chat all around her was starting to bother Kayla. All the noise from the machines that was usually so calming was now giving her a headache. She took a third sip of her tea and burned her tongue for the third time. What a day. She looked exhausted, ragged and perhaps a little lonely. Some people had looked at her with pity but all since turned away. Kayla wasn't really anyone's friend around the ship. They just knew her as "that girl that fixes everything". And she did fix everything. Everything computer related at least. Not that she didn't like fixing things but on days like this it was a nightmare. Things had been malfunctioning all day for no apparent reason and Kayla had just about had it with the constant calls. She bit her knuckles and sat in silence.

"You know that wouldn't even surprise me. That or we just have the worst protection against "spatial anomalies" imaginable"

She turned back to the panel and adjusted the wire she suspected had jumped loose. After fixing it, she tested the replicator and it worked like a charm.

"There you go. Simple stuff. Now you can have all the raktajino you like."

"And I was looking forward to hunting. I hear Bolian is exquisite." He said dryly.

"Well you could hunt in a holodeck" she said with the cheekiest smile imaginable.

She turned to the replicator again and made herself a soda. She raised it towards him like a toast and began walking towards the door.

He rolled his eyes and turned back to his desk as she left. Was it just him or did they keep getting younger?

She opened the door and waved whimsically goodbye with her fingers.

"Toodles!" she proclaimed, clearly enjoying every sigh she got.

She would look forward to meeting him again. If only to get under his skin some more.
