Thesa came back soon enough, thankful for the break. She waved at him as she walked back in, then sat down once more, not yet getting to work.
"And it became Human, in most ways that mattered." // OxO // OPEN
He looked up, returning the wave. "Hello."
"Hi again," She replied with a gentle smile, "Anything exciting happen while I'm gone?"
He shook his head. "Not really."
"Good to know," Thesa nodded, leaning back on her chair and sighing, "I really don't want to work anymore today…but I suppose I have to."
"Well, I don't know what else you could do." Zev said.
"I suppose I could sleep…but that seems rude considering I have you as company," She replied with a shrug, "I'm not sure."
He blinked a little bit. "I could show you around the ship, if you like."
Thesa shugged, then nodded, "I think that would be fun, or at least educational…I still don't know my way around half of this ship anyway."
He nodded a little. "Come with me, then." He headed over to the door.
She stood once more and walked to the door, listening to what he told her to do, "Lead the way."
He nodded a little, and led the way down the hallway.
"Where to first, tour guide Zev?" She asked as she followed him, studying the hallway as if she didn't realize that it was literally the hallway to her office.
Zev cocked his head a little bit. "Where would you like to see first?"
Thesa shrugged and smiled, motioning around, "You're the tour guide, you decide what we see first."
"Alright." he considered that, blinking.
She waited patently for his decision, glancing around with interest at the areas of the ship she hadn't yet seen.
Zev led her down the hall, quiet.
Thesa followed without hesitation, glancing at the few rooms they passed but not speaking.
Zev finally paused in front of one room. "This is a repair area for the androids on board." He said, glancing over at her.
She paused at the door, a curious look appearing on her face, "Really? Am I allowed to go in?"
He blinked, considering that. "I…do not know. It should be fine."
Thesa nodded, opening the door and peering in with a look of pure curiosity. This was what she expected when she had originally met Alexei, a workspace like this.
Most of the work was automated, but some was being done by androids, each carefully working on repairs.
She watched with amazement, looking between the repairs and the androids doing the repairs. It was amazing to see how efficient they were, and she wanted to watch for hours. Deciding otherwise to look back at Zev, she smiled, closing the door once more so they could continue their tour.
Zev was quiet as he started walking again, leading her along the halls.
"Where's the best view of space from the ship?" She asked, following him curiously as she looked around, amazed by the sheer size of the ship.
He considered the question. "This way." He changed courses to lead her somewhere else.
Thesa nodded, following him as he led her in a different direction. She was excited to see the rest of the ship and seeing the best view of space seemed like a good thing to know.
Zev led her out into a round room, and clicked a few buttons on the control panel. For a moment, nothing happened, and then the metal panels on the wall slowly retracted, revealing a nearly 180° view of space.
