<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Ewan mentally grimaced as the corridor wobbled in front of
him. He put his hand out to steady himself against the wall. He had enjoyed
himself a lot last night and playing music with others had been a nice opportunity.
After the playing he had sat and chatted with the others late into he might as
the fire burnt down low. There had been the consumption of alcohol probably more
than he had, had for a while, and was now suffering for it. He had not been
this drunk in years, but it had been a stressful time recently, so it had been
nice to unwind. He hoped to meet up with Jiasre over the next few days while the
Exeter was in orbit. </span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">His stomach churned as a wave of nausea. He was literally outside
his quarters; he needed another five steps, and he would be home. He just
needed to stabilise himself, point himself in the direction of his quarters and
he would be okay.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Chief?”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">He turned slowly towards the sound of the voice and saw Williams
standing in front of him. </span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">~Ow hell~</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Morning sir. I am just heading to my quarters.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">He indicated at the door as he pushed off from the wall and
stumbled towards it. A strong hand gripped his arm and supported him as he staggered
into his quarters. He wanted to go and lie down but his stomach was flip
flopping inside his stomach he almost ran to the quarters small bathroom and vomited
into the toilet. </span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A few moments later when he wondered if there was any thing
left in his stomach, even then though he felt like he was going brining his stomach
up as well as he slid onto the floor breathing heavily.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Take this chief.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">He looked up again to see Williams standing over his with a
glass of water in his hand. He reached out, took the glass, and sipped it trying
to clear the taste of acid bile from mouth. </span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Drink that, get some sleep and we won’t think any more
about it.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">He nodded as he finished the water.</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Yes, sir thank you sir.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Ire nodded, headed back out of the bathroom and back into
the corridor. He had been on a run when he had found Ewan. Since getting out to
the Brig he had needed space and as he was not feeling massively social at the
moment, he had decided to go for late night or very early morning runs. This was
where he had found Ewan hanging onto the wall like the floor had disappeared. Knowing
that if someone from his department or security found him, he would get
reported he had helped him to his quarters. </span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Right then an easy five K to finish.”</span></p>
<p class="ydpc3b5cfdbMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">He began to run and a steady pace along the corridor.</span></p>
