Feeling that you have nothing else to talk about, you go to the elevator and take a ride down to the living quarters on Sub-Basement Level 4, which is a pretty short ride, all things considered. You walk down the familiar hallway to the Jasmine Thyme dormitory wing, finding the door with the designation JT-376 and heading right in.
The room is just as you remember it, wonderfully enough - comfortable single bed, an end table with a lamp next to it, a closet for your uniforms, a rather plain desk that you haven't found the time and opportunity to fill with things important to you and that only features some stray office supplies, a small and rather cheap stool, and, finally, the therapist uplink, which kind of resembles a lounge chair specifically designed with your shape in mind, a rather goofy-looking white plastic helmet resting on the seat. The room is nice enough, though it is completely lifeless at the moment, without decoration or anything of the sort.
Finding nothing to particularly admire so far, you go and take off the suit and your rather bloody uniform (which you find somewhat alarming along with the inexplicable and painful burn on your abdominal area), the former of which you fold up and hang up in the closet for safekeeping and the latter of which you dump in the closet's inbuilt laundry chute. You then change into an identical uniform, and check yourself out in a mirror. You're not sure you've ever liked the purple polo shirt-like thing and black dress pants look, but hey, at least you look halfway respectable, and it is one of the standard Jasmine Thyme outfits.
As you wander back out into the room, its blandness gives you an idea. Maybe you could paint something for this room. After all, you've got a bit of free time. You think you've heard about a few Jonathans getting together along with a Francis or two in some kind of painting club.
However, before you can consider this, you realize that you really need a cup of tea. Unlike most employees, though, you have two choices - go to the natural cafeteria and hang with your fellow Jasmines or go to the engineered cafeteria and hope to meet somebody relevant to your interest in painting, perhaps. Oh, the choices you have.
