As for Keith, he sat down comfortably in his chair and started his favorite video game. There was not a lot of things within this cockpit anyways, so there was no reason not to enjoy the travel. This time around, contrary to when he did it with Leyla, they would be arriving the next day to the EOSS. Since it was a Monday, Keith postponed their departure to when he came back from work.
Regarding his real-life job, it was a real constraint to him.
