We are writing the last bits for our article before we go to sleep and then checking on Kuroko.

Because it is late, we are tired and we're trying to edit a long (and most likely boring) tech opinion from our friend Techie into something usable for the article. So naturally we could end up falling asleep while working.
If something did happen, it's hardly up to us to stop it alone. Just scream a little and a ton of Espers will be on the case.

Forgot to say, success. Also, congrats on the first successful Perception roll in awhile.Rolling.
Edit: Yay!
Writing update now, should be up in the next couple hours.
Succeeds on perception while failing willpower(presumably to resist sleep)....we're more alert when sleeping?
Understadable. Work is way more important.
Oh boy. What a willpower test to fail.

A quick trip to the kitchen yields coffee after a suspicious look from the staff inside, leaving you with the impression that using caffeine to stay up late would be frowned upon if this was during the school year.
Being that it's not, you escape back to yours and Sam's room with coffee that has the potential to cause diabetes in a single sip. You've never liked the taste of coffee, but it works for staying up and helped with an adult image to maintain your reputation in school.
No rule that you can't drown the coffee in sugar though. You smile to yourself as you slip carefully back into the dorm room, making sure Sammy is still asleep.
Right then. You open up the document Techies attached, and start editing it, making sure to send her a thank you as you do so.
She has written some really nice technical passages so you mostly focus on explaining how the Neka was to interact with, and the story you learned about the Black Box user, Desmond. Oh! and the pictures, can't forget the pictures.
You have been at it for about five minutes when the long day catches up on you, even with the caffeine.
'Just putting your head down for a moment, that wouldn't be bad, would it?'
Willpower: 17 +7 = 24 Fail
No, no it wouldn't…
Resting your head on your arms, you yawn and gaze at the coffee that still looks too hot to drink.
At least, you think it is too hot, you can feel the nice, warm, glow from here.
It's comforting, washing over your mind in a haze that reminds you of... wait, how can it remind… you...
zzz
You passed out! This resting period will not count as fully rested sleep due to both low EP and involuntary unconsciousness.

EP: 20/81
beep beep, beep beep
"Myaah?"
EP: 81/81
You wave at the air with a single hand poking out of the covers, peeking one eye open in the direction of the horrendous sound.
Dimension Reader fills you in, and a warp of space lets you shut the damn alarm thing on your phone up.
Perception: 19 +11 = 30 Success
Slumping face first into your pillow, you are struck by an odd thought.
'When did I go to bed?'
After a few seconds of pondering that, and the fact that you are in sleeping clothes when the last thing you remember is slumping at the desk, you sit up.
"...huh."
You can see the cup you put the coffee in, only it is empty and clean. The laptop that you were working is shut down, with something yellow and rectangular, 12.5cm by 12cm on top of it.
Sam is still pretty deeply asleep, which, given her yesterday, makes sense.
According to your phone, the time is [7:33]. But… didn't you disable that alarm the night before last?
Something very weird is going on.
A compression of space lets you poke the rectangle of paper, immediately letting the distance snap back out after contact.
…
Nothing happened.
Feeling more confident, you get up and walk to the desk. It's a yellow sticky note.
Another poke assures you that it isn't dangerous, and you are starting to feel a little silly. What if this is just a note from one of the cleaning staff?
A smile crosses your lips as you open the note, childing yourself for your paranoia.
...oh.
That smile falls from your face as memories that have already been stirred lately resurface. That... that would explain how everything is tidied up, and how you ended up in bed.
It was a habit of her's, to poke you into actually going to sleep rather than staying up all night. She figured that if you could resist the mental impulse then you were fine to stay awake.
Shaking your head you utilize various mental tricks, those that allow you to use your Personal Reality, to cut that trip down memory lane short. Misaka hadn't managed to get this strong a response by bringing it up.
The yellow note is refolded and slipped into a pocket of the outfit you plan on wearing for the day. With everything that you need to do today… you don't want to deal with that right now.
You boot up the PC and swiftly finish up the article, adding the photos and opinion paragraphs around Techies technological breakdown.
Finally, you send it in at about a quarter past eight, just as Sam is starting to wake up.
"Morning Sam, you feeling any better?"
She stretches before answering, smiling at you. "Much better Ri, guess I just needed a nap eh?"
Nodding absentmindedly, you glance down at the pocket where the note resides again, before shaking your head.
"Seems so, you wanna get breakfast? I'm kind of hungry."
Sam gives you an odd look, but doesn't push, instead asking about last night as you both get ready for the day and go for breakfast. You fill her in about the Neka drone and on Kuroko's injuries slash fight, managing to shrug off your bad mood as you show her the photos taken using the flying drone.
Day plans?
Multiple choices are advised. Time will be allotted so that you don't waste time. (My way of apologizing for the lateness.)

You nearly fall out of bed as your phone beeps it's message alert tone
It's a text with a rather lengthy 'tech opinion' part of an article from Techie attached.
Looking at the required editing you would need to do, inserting the pictures and having to read it all...
Do you really want to finish the article up now?
