August 26, 2009. Third Engineer Froilan Vallano only had an hour of sleep but he walked briskly towards the workshop where he would pass through to the ship’s engine room. He pondered on the hours of duty he’s had since 12 midnight and the fire fighting training that followed shortly after. As one of the ship’s Fire Team Leader, Froilan was glad to have a refresher training that day, all the while, ignoring the sheer exhaustion and the seemingly floating sensation he’s having for lack of sleep.
