Srath woke for a dead sleep, no dreams visited in the night. Likely due to the previous nights celebration. He was immediately aware of how dry his mouth felt and a pain that was building behind his eyes, as well as a beeping that felt as though it were ringing inside his skull. 

Sucking in a breath that burned his dried throte, he groaned in annoyance. The beeping was coming from his desk, slowly lifting his lids the message light blinked with the beeping, scorching Sraths eyes in the pitch black room. Eliciting another groan.

"Computer," His voice rasping like sandpaper. The ship responded with what was supposed to be a pleasant bleep but it sounded like nails on a chalkboard to him. "Cancel message light and bring lighting to 5%."

The ship replied with another bleep, the blinking faded as his quarters filled with a gentle glow. It still made him squint for a minute as his eyes adjusted but he could see the room clearly once they were. "Bring lighting to full over 10 minutes." Another bleep.

Looking to the clock beside his bed he saw he'd slept most of the day away. He pushed himself upright, swallowing to try and remove some of the dryness. He staggered his way to the bathroom, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he arrived at the sink. "Computer, who is the message from?"

[i]"Altenia GTC Tower Head of Security."[/i]

What could Craig want? All his paperwork for Braka was handed over with him along with the location of the ship. Must be something else, couldn't be another shipment, maybe another bounty? 

He pulled some pills for his head from the shelves behind the mirror. Washing them down with a few handfuls of water from the tap, wetting his mouth and throat aswell. 

"Computer, hail Head of Tower Security." The bleep from the ship was far less grating this time.
