[a frustrated sigh is the first thing to broadcast over the Sphere, followed by the appearance of a tall, skinny woman with long, dark hair who appears to be wearing a suit exactly like the Doctor's brown pinstripe suit. unfortunately, the Sphere's only showing her from behind and there really isn't much to see as she doesn't have much of a figure. she doesn't seem to notice that her trousers are a little tight around her hips--the only thing, really, that is snug--but otherwise, they're cut to length. the only things that are ill-fitting are the suit-coat, which is too baggy around her shoulders, and the button-up shirt and other ones layered underneath.]

[grumbling under her breath, she runs an impatient hand through her hair.] Damn glasses, they used to stay on my face...

[finally, the Sphere swings around to show her fast at work in the security station, her expression severe and focused completely on the task at hand. until she suddenly smacks a hand on the desk and slumps into a chair there. she tears the glasses from her face and tucks them away into an inside pocket of her suit.]

Blimey, what the hell did he do?! I've tried everything and I still can't figure it out. There has to be something I'm missing...

[wraps the last couple in a handkerchief for later, stuffing it into his pocket as he steps closer to Oliver] It was. Thank you for this distraction. I did need it.

[oliverplus]

[blinks in surprise at that] Really? Why?

But yeah, any time. [grins]

[bit_impossible]

Do I really need a reason? [hugs Ollie]

[oliverplus]

Well, no, guess not.

[oh, that hug surprises him! but he hugs her back, smiling widely. a happy Doctor makes a happy Ollie] Good luck with that console.

[is tempted to be very cheeky and kiss him on the cheek, but he'll spare his friend that embarrassment.]

I'll meet you for dinner tomorrow, all right? [pats his cheek and starts turning away] Don't get into too much trouble now!

[oliverplus]

Tomorrow? Sure! I'll meet you in your suite.

Yeah, I won't! As long as this ship doesn't do anything too crazy!

[bit_impossible]

I don't think it can get any worse, but if you do get into trouble, don't hesitate to call me.

[oliverplus]

[too relaxed at the moment to be worried about the ship's possible antics] Yeah, same as ever. See you!

[bit_impossible]

[waves as he heads towards the door] Good-bye for now, Ollie.
