As Hiro's eyes blinked open, he found himself bathed in the soft, artificial glow of the outpost's lighting.

His eyes came to focus on the metallic roofing above him, the metallic vent cover which was directly above him. He couldn't help but contrast the sterile environment with the warmth of the two beings nestled beside him.

On his right laid Mylleen, her raven-black hair cascading like a silken waterfall over the sheets. Her angular features exuded an air of mystery, even in slumber.

To his left, Zara, with her fiery red hair and freckled cheeks, had an ethereal, otherworldly quality that never ceased to captivate him. They both looked serene in their nakedness, their peaceful breaths the only sounds in the room.

Their peaceful expressions spoke of a night of blissful slumber. Hiro's heart quickened as he remembered the events of the previous evening, their passion still tingling in the air.
