Before Ash entered the crew lounge, the navigator had gone through an hour long stretching routine under microgravity after being awoken to the chime of his alarm. Of course, he had awoken with such a start that the book laying at his side was thrown from the bed to the floor. Not exactly safe, but it was how he had drifted off to sleep. He did not sleep in microgravity though, that was the saving grace. Of course, in an emergency where gravity had be lost or cut, everything that was not tied down was a potential hazard. So, Ash had to remind himself to follow protocols; he knew better and chided himself mentally to uphold that standard.
Drawn to the lounge by the smell of fresh brewed coffee and syrup, Ash wanders in and gives everyone there a reasonably awake, "Good Morning." He helps himself to a serving of french toast with plenty of syrup and a mug of freshly brewed coffee. He eyes the chocolate-covered bacon warily, but remains silent and rather circumspect about it.
The navigator shrugs slightly, when prompted about the other crew. "Sorry, Boss." he notes apologetically following a sip of black coffee, "I'm here, but I don't really know about the whereabouts of anyone else." He glances at Shui, "Well, other than the Good Doctor here. And you, of course."
He does note that the Doctor is humming, "I will say that Ms. Tiesi seems happy enough this morning." Ash ventures, "The Denotam Highport must agree with her." He pauses for a moment as he takes another bite and swallows before he adds quite appreciatively, "Or she is just very pleased with the excellent breakfast that she had prepared this morning. Very fine, indeed."
And after another swig of java, "And damned fine coffee."
