"Hey. Hey!"
Lieutenant Commander Bette Davis shook Ensign Zach Jak'el awake in his bunk. As he struggled to pull himself out of what had looked like a very deep and restful sleep, she threw his flightsuit at him.
"Get dressed and meet me by our ships. Ten minutes."
She was leaning over him, and put a finger on her lips.
"Don't wake anyone else up. We have a mission, but it's just you and me."
Bette gave him one last hard shake to make sure he was awake (and also because it was funny), then turned and headed toward the hangar.
