Torilla blinked as she cleared sleep from her eyes or was it exhaustion,
she couldn't tell anymore since she had tried getting to sleep since twenty two hundred and now she was truly miserable.

She hated insomnia as she looked up at the ceiling above her bunk beds where her equipment and clothing were kept because she was the Executive Officer, she rated a set of quarters for her own use.

she sighed. "Computer... play me something soft so I can try and get some sleep."

Instantly some soft music began to play as she frowned, instantly angry. "No." and the music came to a screeching halt without her telling the computer to stop playing it as she climbed out of her bunk.

She decided not to bother with sleep, but rather she felt if she was not going to be able to sleep then she would make herself useful elsewhere as she went to sit down at her small personal station, she caught sight of herself in the floor-length mirror next to the door next to the two-person dresser. It was designed to help make sure that one was dressed properly because a Captain might be by the book or he might not.

She was tall but she was also slender in build and without an ounce of fat on her body, she smiled as she gave herself the once over but considering she was wearing a sports bra and a pair of shorts, she also didn't go for very feminine clothing either.

She moved over to her station as she tapped the darkened display once as the panel came to life as she pulled up the file she was working on earlier, recalling where she left off she went back to work as she remembered the name of some music her husband had introduced her to a few years before earlier.

"Computer. Play.... Heart of Courage by Two Steps from Hell" she commented softly, a smile graced her lips as music she liked began to fill her quarters with its resonating tone as she turned her attention back to her paperwork.
