Scott could hear the various conversations, questions and complaints but he wasn’t really listening to them. He was afraid if he invested any real though into the problems he would start to work on them, and that wasn’t his job this time. The more he thought about it the more he kind of liked not being the head honcho of this trip. Although he was sure there would be time for taking charge and getting things done.<br/><br/>He immediately noticed Dr. Randall’s approach and most importantly her delightful smile. He smiled back and made sure to give her his undivided attention. When she mentioned arriving at a new destination his eyes lit up in minor surprise. “Already?! We just got here!” He said with a chuckle.<br/><br/>She was thanking him for his ‘help’. Ahhhhh…. she was the peacekeeper after all! He wasn’t sure but he thought he saw a bit of a flirty twinkle in her eye when she spoke to him.  “No problem at all. And I will try to be a little more polite next time.” He said with a look that indicated he was being honest. “I’m sure we’re all a bit on edge.”<br/><br/>His smile grew wide when she told him of his big room. He truly didn’t care. It’s not that he didn’t want a big room, he just didn’t really NEED a big room; and he surely hadn’t expected deference from civilians. And then she did another unexpected thing and asked him for his help. “Absolutely, we can go over the details tomorrow when we know a little bit more about our situation here. And we should be done with our safety sweeps by then.” He said, more to explain why he wasn’t available to help right at this moment than any other reason. “I know we won’t be able to secure every nook and cranny on this ship but I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t at least make sure the immediate area was safe.” He paused and looked at her perhaps a bit too long. “Tomorrow morning then; I’ll buy you a cup of coffee.” He added with a mischievous grin.<br/>
