Those questions had been going through her mind ever since she got back. They even interrupted her work during her duty shift. She had been studying the bits of the building she’d brought back, trying to determine how creatures built like spiders made buildings that looked like igloos.

So far she had had no luck.

After dinner, she had planned to go back to her station to look up information on spiders of all types, but her immediate commander had forbidden it.

“Elizabeth,” she had said, “you look exhausted. The best thing you can do is take your mind off everything, and rest.”

But she couldn’t rest, and her mind was working overtime. So when Novakovich, somewhat oblivious of the events of the past two days (he’d been out of touch since he was placed on light duty), asked if they were playing the game that night, she said she would if everyone else wanted to.

Apparently they did. Anderson had shown up for dinner, but Mayweather hadn’t. He had come into the mess as most of their shift’s members were finishing their meals, taken a chocolate-chip cookie from the plate left beside the coffee, and hadn’t even touched that.

“You have to eat,” she had said to him quietly.

He’d given her a small smile. “I know,” he said. “I will. Maybe after the game.”

Maybe. Just like she might sleep after the game. They had gone through this routine before, after the last away mission they’d been on together, the one where Novakovich had gotten hurt. Cutler had barely slept for three days upon their return and Mayweather had hardly eaten. Both of them had consulted Dr. Phlox, who hadn’t seemed too upset by it.
