[21:29] ::raises an eyebrow:: [21:29] ::closes his eyes and rolls his head, finding the pressure and feel of the water against his body, along with the lack of sound and the movement of life around him rather soothing compared to the open air above, finding it to be an environment that would be productive to meditation:: [21:29] ::flips around and begins paddling, and stands up begins riding:: [21:29] To attend patients, I have put the medbay to starboard.

[21:42] ::Savant caught up with a little school of fish not too far off - she was still in sight of Ironside, but probably not very distracting at the distance. She wore something of a grin on her face as she swam about with them, reaching out and runing a fingertip down the spiny backs of the brightly coloured fish:: [21:42] one is routed to each nacelle.
