A - Even if you're angling for a private rendezvous, letting Patrons into the *Weapons Station* sounds like a bad habit to get into

It's fine. Change your vote.

"Try it out, I could let you into my weapons station. It has a cupola so you have half the cosmos in plain view." Vanessa looks at you with curiosity.

"Like, right now?"

"Absolutely right now, it's not like I have anyone else here to tend to." The blonde mercenary leans away from the counter, staring at her gloved hands and definitely having a moment to think about it.

"It sounds like you're trying to take me on a date somewhere private."

"It is not a date, rest assured, I'm just trying to help you relax." She looks at you, and then shrugs, a smirk curving her lips slightly.

"Alright then... it can't hurt to try."

You take Vanessa into the command center and then, by the stairs, and later, by the ladder, into the weapons cupola. There's just enough place for both of you to stand, but you quickly move aside to let - and indicate - the girl to sit down in the large control chair.

She immediately looks over the controls and weapon statistics with visible spark of curiosity in her eyes.

"The stars and the cosmos are up there, miss." Vanessa glares at you and then leans into the chair.

"Uh, sorry! Sorry, force of habit. And call me Vanessa, I'm pretty sure I'm not a stranger at this point." She takes a breath and places her hands behind her head, genuinely trying to relax, it seems. "And, what now? Just stare into the abyss?"

"That is correct, just enjoy the view." Vanessa does exactly that.

For about five seconds.

"So that orange star is the primary, and that smaller thing? The gas giant?"

"You are correct on that, yes."

"I see, I see." Vanessa looks past the closest items and into the background mosaic of galaxies, dotting the sides of the bright, milky-like arm of the galaxy humanity is contained to.

She takes a deep breath, and places her hands on her lap. She is one fidgety girl, you have to note.

A) Stare along for a while.
B) "What are you thinking about right now?"

[Haspen]

Oops, saw Egan's post but didn't notice bob's vote, so this is what you guys are getting

No problem there.

A Anyway, let's stare along

You decide to stare along.

It doesn't take you long to realize that Vanessa has stopped fidgeting in her seat, and has been duly taken in by observation of the universe.

When you turn to look at her, you realize that she fell asleep. Head tilted right-ways, her breathing is slow and calm.

A) Gently wake her up.
B) Let her sleep, and return to your work station.
C) Contemplate the stars alone, for now.

[Kashyyk]

We'd be able to hear any alerts from here, right?

C - Keep enjoying the opportunity for quiet contemplation

I'm sure something will demand out attention eventually, but for now, let's chill out. She apparently needs the sleep, and we can't leave her alone in here.

[crazyabe]

C.
If nothing else it’ll be amusing to confuse the Dutchess into thinking we seduced her all in one guard and servant in the time she’s been out for her nap.

[Haspen]

You decide to stargaze for a while all by yourself.

And to keep an eye on Vanessa, just in case.

In last four hours, she fidgeted only twice; both times she moved rightways, which ended with her right cheek pressed against soft siber-coat of the chair.

But now the sleeping mercenary is waking up, quickly sitting up straight when her half-asleep self realizes she is in unfamiliar place.

"Ah, right, you." She mumbles, noticing you, and rubs her face some, letting out a pained hum.

"Sorry. The stargazing didn't work out. I mean. How long was I asleep?"

"You've been napping for slightly over four hours, Vanessa."

"Uh, geez..." She pulls a small communicator from her pocket and checks the display for something.

"Well, the Duchess is still sleeping..." The blonde says, before stretching her arms upwards with a happy sigh.

A) "Feel free to take another four-hour nap, if you want, of course."
B) "Up for another drink and/or a little chat, perhaps?"
