Setting up a new shop

[Reeves]

Hours threw themselves by, her sleep left undisturbed. The light outside began to creep in through a glass window that spanned an entire wall, offering an unrivaled view of the fort's interior. Likely being the first peaceful sleep she'd had, in what must have seemed like forever, her senses were evidently more dull than usual.

When her eyes opened, it was clear she'd slumped over and lay down in her sleep. The room was illuminated a dull orange glow, the light outside bleeding in. Her laptop had been moved from her person to the coffee table just in front of the couch. A blanket had also been draped over her carefully. Ensuring neither arm nor foot was exposed, and that a slight portion was curved over an ear. Somebody else was clearly in the room with her, judging by how her computer was moved and the blanket which wasn't here before. A glance at the door revealed the keys she left in were absent, instead neatly placed in a glass bowl on the same table as her laptop.

While perhaps entirely unwelcome, every action which could be observed had been fairly considerate. The air was also laden with two things. The smell of fresh coffee and the sounds of somebody typing. The latter seemed to be coming from the far corner of this living room. The only thing there was an L-shaped desk. It housed Morreti's terminal, a section of the room elevated by a single step, sharing in the same view that the stretch of glass provided. The smell was much easier to locate, there was a tray of food at the bottom-left edge of the table, no doubt placed there for her. It wasn't part of the rations she had brought, too non-standard to have been. A stack of pancakes, showered in syrup and with a tiny cube of rapidly melting butter. It looked like a breakfast course straight from an OSC menu, and it likely was one. The ingredients could have been stolen from a cruise liner's supplies.

The typing stopped, replaced by soft humming. The voice was recognizable.
