Dark and Stormy Night
Jess shivered and dripped across the Ops floor.
"Caught in the storm?"
"No, Becker. I like wet, plastered hair."
He smirked. "Grouchy."
The lights flashed.
"Great," said Jess. "Can this night get worse?"
She heard a howl. "Wind?"
Becker pulled her close. "No."
"Emergency EMD," he said. She nodded, and moved with him.
Jess heard a snarl above her.
Becker fired, dropping a small crocodile-like dinosaur.
"See, nothing to worry about."
"Are you insane?"
"Jess, it's unconscious. Relax. Everything's fine now."
Then the lights went out.
"You were saying?"
"You know, Jess. Darkness has its advantages."
