"Excuse me Doctor Reau. I don't mean to startle you, I thought you should know we're closing for the night."
Those tired eyes opened slowly, a hand rose to her face as she rubbed the feeling back into it, sitting back up she realized she'd fallen asleep hunched over the tables in the library. The various datapads of research around her, pulled by Jin herself as soon as she'd gotten there. She had to confess she'd only really gotten through about a third of them before she'd dozed off. It had been a long last few days for her. Her expedition to a little known planet hadn't gone as well as she thought it would have, there was still a part of her that cringed at recalling the memories. Worst yet was that when she'd gotten back to her ship, there was a bulletin regarding the destruction of her home worlds. That had only added a sickening feeling, one that had left her emotions feeling obliterated. What of her family? What of her Clan?
She'd gone to the only place she could think of, a place that made her feel comfortable. The Galactic Polysapient Medical Complex on Cyrillia, a place she'd come a few times in the past, if there was always one place she'd returned to it, it was likely Cyrillia. A place that a young Mandalorian doctor could go and not raise a brow from the others there. Though she couldn't recall a time in the past that she'd ever simply passed out on a stack of datapads. It was a sign that both her mind and her body couldn't go forever.
"W..What time is it?" Jin finally asked, her eyes finally taking in the area, those long empty tables, surrounding by various tiers of cases containing a drove of Medical information on all kinds of species.
"A few minutes short of 2200 ma'am. We'll reopen again at 0800 in the morning." the tall slender reptilian female answered.
Jin's eyes looked to the pads she had on the table, starting to stack them back up, intent on returning them back to their proper places. The Cyrillian bared a bit of those otherwise fierce looking teeth in a bit of a smile, "I'll take care of those Doctor Reau."
Jin gave a nod, she honestly was still too fuzzy-minded to argue but pushed herself up, taking hold of her helmet she'd sat atop the table she brought it over and clipped it to her belt as she stood. Even at her full height she still seemed tiny compared to the Cyrillian. "Thank you." Jin answered before she started to make her way for the exit of the library. Truth be told the Library was just part of the Complex, there was the Medical Academy, and even a Hospital here, Advanced Medical Research Labs, and much much more. In the end though, it was the hangers of the complex that Jin would venture herself towards.
Once she'd stepped out of the library and into the warm night air, her eyes adjusted enough to glance overhead, those thousands of stars she could see. Worlds among many of them. She couldn't help but wonder how many back in the Sector had given one last look skyward before death had overtaken them. She exhaled a breath and paused next to one of the fountains in the big open square, a few fountains and trees, few shrubs and other plants to liven up the area running the mid of the entire complex, there were a few large pieces of art as well, focal points for areas. There were a few dark figures casually strolling in the distance, but otherwise all seemed quiet there. Taking a seat on the edge of the fountain rim she tried to let the fresh air help waken her back. She still had far too much on her mind to stay focused on one singular thing.
