They make a slight noise of effort as they lean off to the side to snatch a photo from the adjescent shelf. It was an old picture, and their youngest wasn't even on it yet, but it was nice to hold.
"Well, there's my lab partner River- They're a chemist, been here a year longer than I have. The best friend I've ever had- They have this thing for shirts with really bad chemistry jokes on them? It's all they wear. They're actually leaving in a few weeks, with their contract ending. I'm going to miss them a lot.
"Then there's Sienna, our botanist and comms specialist- you would be talking to them right now, if they weren't down with a fever. I arrived here with them, actually! They have a way of making every room they walk into a little warmer. They and River are the cutest couple, I swear my blood sugar sky rockets regularly-
"And Sageee our internnn, just on their second year! Don't tell anyone, but I have a massive soft spot for them. They're the same age my sibling was when I saw them last. They're an engineer, but so darn shy! You need something fixed, done, but it's like it was repaired by a ghost! Oh, once they warm up to you they're the absolute sweetest kid.
"And last but not least, Captain Sable- they are...an enigma- Been here longer than any of us, keeps extending their 5 years more and more every time. They're withdrawn and stoic, but I can tell they care about us a lot somewhere in there. I'll get through to them by the end of my tenure, I'm sure of it."
"You would get along great with River in particular, I think."
