Archer woke up with a yawn as Nala and Talila were cuddled up to him. This brought a smile to his face before using Blink to get out of bed. He reappeared by the window only to see dark clouds casting darkness across the sea.
The 1st Fleet had all the lights on, but it only reached a few meters away from the vessels. ''What nightmare have we arrived in?'' he thought.
Following that, he put some clothes on and wrapped a thick cloak around himself before walking toward the bridge. Five minutes later, he found Olivia and Elara chatting while looking out at the deck below.
Archer quickly realized there were fewer sailors than usual, most were still fast asleep. He walked up to the two women and, with a playful grin, slapped both of their asses, making them yelp in surprise.
Olivia was the first to spin around, her face lighting up with a big smile. ''Morning, Arch,'' she greeted, pulling him into a kiss. ''You scared me.''
