Young was walking down hallway of one of destinies many corridors, happy for the first time in a while, despite himself. It was christmas time, their thirteenth year on the ship, and they'd rigged up christmas lights all over the ship. It looked and felt like christmas, and even Rush was not as grumpy as usual. He paused, an amused smile flickering over his face as he thought of the scientist. Eli had suggested an insane project, which Rush had initially scoffed at, and was now obsessed with, even after Eli had lost interest. He turned a corner, and saw Riley ahead. "Riley," he said.
Riley nodded at him. "Sir," he said.
"How are the lights doing?" Young asked. They had problems with the lights from time to time, but they'd been going fine so far. He smirked again as he thought about Rush's impossible project.
"They're good sir, no blinks so far," he said. Volker walked past them, and Young stopped him.
"Volker, merry christmas?" he asked, wondering why he looked so glum. Volker stopped, and turned back to the pair of them, who were looking at him oddly. He sighed, walking up to them.
"Not at the moment Colonel, why?" he asked.
Young tried his best not to chuckle. "Just wondering why you're looking so down?" he asked.
Volker looked around them nervously. "Okay, but if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell Rush, right?" he asked.
They both nodded. Volker looked around one last itme, before leaning in conspiratorily.
"The lights on the outside of the ship got incinerated again," he said.
Riley nodded at him. "Sir," he said.
