Back to Boredom

Who: Peter Marwood
Where: Alandra's Quarters, His Quarters & Shuttle Bay 1
When: An hour after Alandra got up
Peter fell into consciousness by having a small black thong that had been precariously left on top of him get sucked into his mouth. He woke, choking and thinking where the hell he was and WHY he had the taste of strawberry mouse in his mouth. He looked around the neon-white of the room, clearly he was in somebody's quarters, but whose. Christ, his head was killing him. It felt like there was a sumo wrestler's stag do going on in there. Then it all came flooding back to him, he had got blind drunk with Alandra and stumbled back to her quarters for several hours of fantastic lovemaking before falling asleep. He looked up at the wall mounted view screen, which was currently displaying it's fish tank screensaver.
"Holly? Any messages for me?" he asked the ship's computer.
Holly's face appeared on the screen.
"Morning Pete, have a good night's sleep?" she queried
"Yeah, yeah it was good" Peter smiled, taking some aspirins Alandra had left for him on the table. "Have I got any messages Hol?"
"Yeah, one." said Holly
"Play it" asked Peter
Alandra's face appeared on the screen, she was in one of the Science Labs. "Morning sleepy, I had to leave early babe, one of the Technicians called in with the flu, so I've had to go in an hour early. Their updating Holly's Random Access Memory. So, will see ya later." she blew a kiss at the screen and her image faded out.
"Thanks Holly" Peter thanked the Computer
"No problem Pete, oh and I like the underwear" she smiled cheekily before disappearing. Leaving Peter to stare in disbelief at the pair of Leather briefs he was now wearing. What was wrong with that girl? On second thoughts, he didn't want to know.
He changed back into his discarded clothes from the mission the previous middle night and caught the Xpress Tube System back to his quarters on the other side of the ship, there he showered, had a shave, brushed his teeth twice to get rid of the strawberry taste and ordered himself a bacon sandwich and cup of tea from the dispenser in the corridor. Dressed in his khaki uniform, he made his way down to the Navigation Deck to report to Jay, and see what menial pilot tasks needed to be done.
Half an hour later, after stopping off in the Medi-Bay to have the bandages on his leg changed by some weirdo who looked like William Shakespeare, he arrived at Shuttle Bay One.
"Where is everybody?" he thought, making his way over to Jay's Office. He tried to open the door but found it locked, a sign proclaiming "Hibernating. Back in the Spring" taped to it. Slightly baffled, Peter looked around for somebody else. Nobody was in the office. So, he moved over to his cubicle, sat down, put his feet up on the desk in front of him, lit up a cigarette and started to read the battered paperback he was reading "The Judas Pair" by Jonathan Gash. Seeing as no one else was there, he really had nothing to do.
