The night seemed to have gone on forever. After realizing that it was completely pointless to lay into a drug-induced Deon, Kate returned upstairs and poured herself a glass of scotch. She dropped a few ice cubes into the glass and as she waited for the beverage to go down in temperature, she went to her room to remove the soaking wet green dress and threw on a long shirt that could easily pass as a night gown. Returning back to the kitchen, she quickly checked on Sektor, realizing that he had been going through absolutely everything in her absence and let out a small, tired laugh. She couldn't be bothered with talking to the AI at the moment though, as the more pressing matter came back into her mind as she realized that she now only had hours to come up with a system update.

She took her glass of scotch back into the living room and opened up her laptop computer, hammering in a list of commands as the screen's bright light illuminated her face in the dark room and began the tedious task of creating an update for an AI she had no part in creating in the first place. The sun had come up by the time that Kate felt like she needed to close her eyes...just for a few minutes...

Curled up on her couch, Kate slipped into a deep sleep, mentally exhausted by the days events, her untouched glass of scotch on the coffee table gradually getting warmer as the ice cubes melted through the hours.
