Personal Log: Commander Kay Wantz

“Attention Commanders, you have a visitor at hangar door one seven.”

“Attention Commanders, you have a visitor at hangar door one seven.”

“Attention Commanders, you have a visitor at hangar door one seven.”

“Attention Commanders, you ...”

“Alright, I’m up.” If I didn’t hit the button to respond to S.H.E.A.’s alert she would repeat that until her power cells depleted or the visitor left; whichever came first.

“Yeah, who are you and what do you want?”

“Not a morning person I see. It’s Quentin Ramsey; I need to discuss the security protocols with Commander Goodwin.”

I bolted upright on Malcolm’s gel bed. I needed a mirror. Did my hair look alright? I glanced at the figure snoring behind me. What are you doing? You have a man. Who cares what you look like? It’s morning, no one wakes up looking flawless; except maybe your mother.

“Morning Ramsey; I’ll let you in. Once you board the ship report to the bridge. We’ll meet you there in thirty.” I closed the com. “S.H.E.A. grant hangar and ship access to Quentin Ramsey.”

“As you wish commander.”

“Malcolm… Malcolm, get up.” The man sleeps like a corpse.

“Ugh?”

“Ramsey is here. He wants to go over section security protocols. Get up.” I gave him one good shake and went to the bathroom. When I returned from a shower, I saw he had rolled over and went back to sleep. I went back to the bathroom and got a glass of cold water.

“Ahhh! What’s wrong with you woman?!”
