"Alright Mr. Harper lets call it a night and go home. I feel we have done all the security checks and tests we can do for now," Commander Pol said to Patrick as he put a PADD on the Security office briefing table.

Patrick gave a smile and streched as he stood up. "Very well Sir if ya say so." Harper started to walk out of the office when Pol reminded him to do a few things first thing in the morning.

Harper got into his quarters that he shared with three other people of the same rank. However their was only two people using it now. Harper was one the other was in the head using the sonic shower. Patrick took off his tunic and threw it on the couch in the quarters and then unzipped his gold shirt and streched out on the couch.

"Computer play some Baroque music."

"I don't give a bloody toot who ya play just play something from Earth Baroque period."

Some Bach came on and Harper relaxed for a minute and then the door opened and his roomate came in.

"Excuse me Pat, didn't mean to intrupt your rest." Murphy was kicking off his boots and taking off his dirty grease stained duty uniform.

Pat sat up and laughed, "Well Murph, it appears you're busy at least."

"Oh yes, been working on the Hood all day. How about you?"

"I've been checking the security systems all day. Manually checking all the phasers, torpedos, double checking all the security passwords and encryption protocols, then I...."

"I get the idea," said Murphy, breaking in. "Maybe you should of went into a diffrent department."

Pat gave chuckle and laid back down and replied, "No thanks. I don't care to much for Engineering."

"Hey lets play tongo after I clean up," Murphy said.

"I don't know how to play that Murph."

"Don't worry I'll teach you."

"Sounds like a done thing lad."
