Seven in the morning.

When you wake up early the next morning, you open your eyes, and see the same book you had been reading is seemingly floating above you. After blinking a few times, you see this is NOT the case. In reality, the book is above you, but it is being held there by your recent “accomplishment”, Seven of Nine. It takes you another second to fully realize this, at which point you do a double-take.

“SEVEN!!” you shout.

“Yes, Crewman?” she asks, dropping the hand that holds the book down at her side.

“What are you doing in here?!” you ask her.

“I came to make sure I didn’t waste any time,” she says.

“Waste time?” you ask. “What time would you have wasted?!”

She looks around your quarters, before noticing a clock on one wall. Staring at it for a few seconds, she then looks back at you.

“The time between you helping me and me thanking you, Crewman,” she explains.

“Oh!” you reply. “Don’t mention it. I was only trying to help.”

“It appeared to me what you were attempting to do was sleep!” she says, lifting the book again. “That’s why I decided to scan the book, and see if you had gotten any tips on what you did for me from your reading material.”

“Nah!” you tell her. “That’s just something Tuvok recommended I read! I would’ve known how to help you without that!”

“Interesting,” she says. “Because Tuvok recommended some reading for me I think I could use to repay you for your help.”

“Really?!” you ask. “And what was that?”
