" Unless anyone needs me I'll probably be sleeping for at least twelve hours. I took some Knock-out, so I should sleep very nicely. Once I'm rested, then I'll tour the base, maybe see if they have some Masterpiece figures here that'd go with my collection. End log. "

With that, Nicci tapped the light control and covered up for a good night's rest.
