7-122: Illuminator – Mallory’s Cabin
Mallory says sleepily, “Work? It’s Red Shift,” and makes a sleepy, half-hearted attempt to prevent him leaving.
Oliver can persist with his plan and leave her a note – Mallory seems to use quite a bit of actual paper. Indeed some of those files scattered around the computer seem to be more classified stuff, again, mostly about aliens. If he leaves her a note, she will be asleep again before he has left her cabin.
Alternately, if she persuades him to stay she will become a little more awake.
“I know. But I have a deadline.”
He’ll leave the note and go. He’s certain that for now he’s gained all necessary information from her, so now he has other work to do.
