<span style='color:pink'>*i start out of my meditation. looking around i see nothing that would have disturbed me, but realize how late it is. i quickly get ready for bed and am soon asleep.*</span>
it was one part misformatting and one part a heroic yawn <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->. but mostly just me using the wrong marks.

<span style='color:orange'>*hears the alarms ring, and grimaces, trying to cover his ears with his pillow* "Oh...no...we're deploying again today. Bah, no rest for the wicked, as they say." *rolls out of bed, then trudges to the bathrooms for a shower and brushing of teeth.

<span style='color:green'>*"They're mucking with my metabolisim." I mutter to myself* "That explains the hunger" *Arrives at the mess hall and get a light breakfast, and start eating*</span>
<span style='color:green'>"I swear somethings up with me, I'm bloody starving!" *Gets a pair of bowls and fills both, before coming back and eating both*</span>

<span style='color:blue'>*Takes a seat next to the others.* "Eat up guys breifing will take place on our new ship." *Takes a few spoonfuls of cereal.* "Docking Bay Two at 07:00 hours." *Drains the rest of the milk in his bowl down his throat.* "I'll see you there."</span>
<span style='color:lightgreen'>*runs into the mess hall a little late* "crap, the docking bay !" *grabs a bit of food and heads to the docking bay*</span>
<span style='color:orange'>"Damn, I'm going to be late!" *hurriedly shovels cereal into his mouth, then picks up his bowl and shoves it on to the collection trolley, wiping his mouth with a napkin with the other hand* "You got it, Sarge, see you guys on the ship. I just need to get my gear from my room." *runs back to the dormitories, grabs all his equipment and races to the docking bay.
