The next seven days went by with everyone spending most of their time in their quarters, busying themselves with checks that had been made hundreds of times; or utilising the hoverbugs to transport themselves to remote little areas where they could be alone with their thoughts. All had given up gazing at the outside vista; there were groups of stars and then some more stars, which were inevitably followed by more stars: pretty soon, watching drying paint became an attractive option.

The most reclusive member of the crew was Kamul, who seemed to be spending more time in the physics laboratory than anywhere else and only using the galley when everyone else was sleeping.

Rachmel was disturbed by Miles’s distant attitude; it had been a week since her tete-a-tete with Andretta, and although the Agent had been correct in saying he would calm down he still appeared to be avoiding her; she decided it was time to confront him. Leaving her quarters she made her way to his room and, placing her hand on the entry pad, the doorcom responded “Quarters are vacant.”

Returning to her own room she sat at the desk. “MAC”

“Commander, request please”

“Leading Engineering Officer Miles: location?”

The reply was instant. “Leading Engineering Officer Miles is in the Biohibernation section.”

“Who else is present?”

“Leading Pilot Officer Hidson.”

“Status of their remote interfaces.”

“Both remote interfaces are closed down.”

Rachmel began to wonder if Miles had found himself a soul mate, but discounted that as Hidson was a family kind of man of long standing; however, he wouldn’t be the first married man to turn the corner on a long voyage. At that moment, MAC broke into her thoughts.

“Commander, do you require these Officers to report to your quarters?”

“No, but inform me whenever these two officers close down their remote interfaces.”
