Singularity

Everyone else more or less reacted the same way to the medication which Walter was delivering. No one wanted to take it. Even if most of it was vitamins for when they're asleep. Considering the amount of time they would all be sleeping in their cushioned chambers, their bodies needed a little help to not totally vegetate. Of course, muscle mass was one thing which would slowly be regained. But immune systems and the like would need a little extra help and looking after. Not that it was possible really to get germs within their ship, considering how airtight it was, and had already been decontaminated before liftoff. But, their new home, no one knew what airborne things could be present.

It seemed though that no one was immune for one last hurrah, again. Just like back on Earth, to say farewell, they all gathered around the table, drinking, eating and laughing. Making the most of their last night together, because as soon as it was over with, when the next day came, they would all be donning the simple white uniform that got assigned to them, and they'd all climb into their appointed chambers. Then Walter would have the task of checking they were fine before sending them to sleep. Once that was done, he was alone, again, with Mother as company. It wasn't like he didn't have jobs to do, and it also wasn't like he had a proper grasp of boredom.

With the amount of alcohol which was consumed, it might be a little later than planned to put everyone into their hypersleep chambers. Needed to be sober, or else the system wouldn't register their vitals very well, or at all, or even accept them trying to go under at all.

The evening seemed to be going well until Upworth choked, someone suggested a photograph and Jacob decided to call it quits earlier than everyone else. Everyone seemed to stay, if only for a little bit longer before parting ways.

"Tomorrow," Onora looked to Karine as she leaned against the table beside her. She exhaled heavily and pouted, even rolling her head to the side and looking a little hazily at Onora. "It's come around so fast, hasn't it?"

Onora nodded slowly, "It doesn't even seem that long ago since all of us were put together." She said, sounding almost wistful, she reached out and took the glasses from Walter's hands as he seemed to be pottering. Onora put them back down and looked at Karine, she looked sympathetically at Walter before letting out a disgruntled noise. Walter looked confused before turning on his heels and opting to sit and people watch. Onora didn't like him acting like the damn cleaner. Everyone could clean up tomorrow before they went to sleep.

"And tomorrow...day one of sleep, day one of many..." Karine said a little dramatically, Onora looked at her worriedly, she swayed a little on her feet. Luckily, Oram stood near and steadied her, she leaned against him and patted a hand to his chest.

"Okay, party animal, I think you've had enough." He looked down at his wife's face, she did seem a little...away with the fairies, seeing how serious he was attempting to be just made Karine burst out laughing. "Definitely, time to call it a night." Oram decided he smiled at Onora and nodded her way, she waved a hand and watched as he held his wife close as they exited the bridge.

Looking up when Daniels slowly walked over, she picked at the cup in her hand before smiling softly. She looked past Onora and smiled at Walter too, seeing as how someone was paying him attention, he perked up and stood from his chair. He faded rather into the background otherwise, just silently there, always watching. "Think another breakfast might be in order tomorrow." Daniels joked, fry up was a right fix for the hungover it seemed.

"I do not think that is wise," Walter frowned from behind Onora, she looked over her shoulder at him before looking at Daniels again with a small, sad smile.

"Toast, then?" Onora offered with a slow shrug.

Daniels laughed quietly, "Yeah...not the same, but I'm sure it'll do." She nodded her head slowly, looking over her shoulder she looked back at the pair. "Night, you two." She put her cup down, she reached out and loosely hugged Onora to herself before patting Walter gently on the arm.
