[u.1:01] Good morning.

[u.2:01] Hey.

[u.1:02] How did you sleep?

[u.2:02] Same as usual. So, y'know, terribly.

[u.1:03] Oh no. Still?

[u.2:03] Yeah. Doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon.

[u.1:04] You know, there are things you can try to help you sleep.

[u.2:04] Can't be much that I haven't already tried. Sleeping pills, alcohol, and reading all had no effect. I tried meditation like Tristan suggested. Tried switching to decaf for a week, which sucked by the way. At one point, I was thinking about asking Rogue to just knock me out.

[u.1:05] That wouldn't be a solution.

[u.2:05] I'd probably get brain damage eventually. Though, I might prefer that to how things are right now.

[u.1:06] What about less-conventional methods? Like Aromatherapy or something similar.

[u.2:06] What's that?

[u.1:07] It's the use of essential oils to reduce stress and improve your health, especially psychologically.

[u.2:07] So smells that heal you?

[u.1:08] Kind of. Calming scents.

[u.2:08] Honestly, I'd try anything at this point.

[u.1:09] Great! I'll look into it some more and let you know what I find.

[u.2:09] Sounds good. Hopefully, by the time the new year rolls around, I'll be able to sleep better.

[u.1:10] I certainly hope so. [beat] But enough about that. What's on the agenda today?

[u.2:10] There are a couple sections of Mercury I'd like to get more data on. After that, we need to visit Petra. She wanted to see me about something.

[u.1:11] Sounds like a plan! Let's get to Mercury, then.
