A Gentleman?

Thankfully, no irregular events occurred while I was on guard duty. Four hours ticked down slowly but peacefully.

I was greatly shaken by the sudden ringing alarm of my terminal, but thankfully, there was nobody around to see my panicked reaction. Otherwise, it'd be a bit embarrassing.

I should've lowered the alarm volume first...

Since it was time, I moved toward the cabin and knocked on the door three times, each knock a second apart. It was the pre-arranged signal we had set up to ensure it was me knocking, and not someone else.

I repeated the three-knock sequence every ten seconds, until a minute later, when Eva crawled out of the cabin in her spacesuit, her visor down.

{Enough knocking! I know...!} She growled, irritated, before closing the door again.
