Human Edge

Colette made her way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The stubborn chef of the dropship wasn't taking in guest. Colette looked at the man with sad puppy but a smile on her face and convinced the man to allow her do her craft. She rang a imaginary bell "Ze breakfast iz done! Come and git it!"

A grey mustached man was first in line, and he accepted whatever was placed on his plate with a bemused expression.

"Either the Chef has gotten a lot prettier, or my eyes are finally failing me."

A faint smile tugged at his lips, as he examined his plate, curious what was being dished out by this intruder.

Colette giggled. "Prettier" She gave the man a wink. He would note that the plate resembled a sunset with eggs and the sauce. "Hope you enjoy it, bon appetite!"

With a faint nod, he went and took his seat, trying it out thoughtfully.

It wasn't bad at all.

Maybe he'd have to keep this chef upgrade.

She brought the man his coffee. "Freshly pressed and brewed." She smiled . "Brought you cream and sugar just in case you want to season it."

One of the scientist makes his blurry eyed way into the kitchen seeking the warm embrace of coffee first thing in the morning.

Alexei took the offered cup with a quiet word of thanks, and then took a sip.

After a moment of contemplation, he added a small dash of cream, and then set the lot back down.

"Thank you. I presume you are Miss Rupelle, and not an astonishingly youthful transformation of my chef?"

"Oiu Oui... I am Colette Rupelle." She smiled. "I think you would enjoy my cooking and my company, Comandar." She nodded.

"I might, young lady, though I think our friend Dr. Reinhardt could use a cup of coffee as well. Perhaps you could see if he wanted to join us?"

Alexei indicated the man with one thing finger, and then returned to his own breakfast.

Colette jumped happily clapping at the idea of more work. "Oui oui... of course of course."

She called the poor doctor to get his fresh brewed coffee.

"Come and get your fresh cup Dr Rein!"
