"Afterwork"

Author: Jayme Alcon
Earthdate: September 2, 2386
Location: FARP barracks

Jayme parted company from the SAR group and her own team, stopped and grabbed a few things from the messhall before taking to the stairs to the level where her quarters were, and after keying in she laid face down on the thick gel bed and fell asleep. She woke several hours later to her personal com sounding. "Major Alcon." she said.

"Morning love." Nathans voice sounded so relaxed and happy. She rolled over and looked at the screen so that she could see him as she saw his eyes narrow which made her run her fingers through her hair. He said, "I figured you'd have been up by now and out on the field with your team -- didn't mean to wake you."

"Late start this morning... its okay." She said sitting on her bed with her legs folded under, and she sipped one of the bottles of juice she'd grabbed the night before. "How life in the city?" She asked with a smile.

He leaned back against his desk and crossed his arms, "about the same as when you left, except for the two days of rain. Since you're on the schedule this week for base and I have time off -- I was planning on coming and staying several days with you...maybe even go camping?"

In the distances she could hear the air raid alert sound and needed to get moving, "sounds good. Love you, have to run!"

Jayme cleared the link as she grabbed her jacket and ran for the lift, meeting up with several other members of her team.
