Adam closes his eyes as he feels people stirring behind him.  Hearing him all the way back in the galley whistling, he smiled.  Warren was outgoing all the time.  But that was okay.  He was even his best match on the ship for playing power ball.  He had a healthy competitive streak in him, much like Adam himself.  They placed wagers for some of their matches (more like all of them) to make things more interesting.  Plus, he was good at what he did.  His suit was impressive, and when he entered another ship to make his 'all clear', he was almost terrifying.<br/><br/>"Hey...ummm...Adam.  This gonna be your first crime?  Piracy on the high seas.....uhh....of space?"  Warren asks as he gets comfortable in the command.  He carried a bowl of something.  That something made noises ever time he lanced into it or smacked on it for that matter.<br/><br/>Adam looks back at him as he finishes his stretch and sits up and looks back at him answering his question.  "Actually, Warren, my parents run an outfit.  Though we stayed away from the slave trade, we were not little angels either.  Well, solving a crime maybe.  Cant say I have ever tried that one on for size.  Oh, Warren, would you like to hit the rec room later after I get off?"<br/><br/>Waiting for his response, someone else enters behind him and is on the other side of Adam from Warren.  Looking back over his other shoulder, he sees Risa leaning on a console and viewing the growing speck of the nebula.  "Good day to you, Risa." Adam says to her warmly as she turns back to look at him, something behind her eyes told Adam she was thinking about something.  "Here," Adam sits up and punches a few buttons and slaps a small disc into his console, then retrieves it and places it in his holo player and presses a button.  Springing from a very small lens in the player, an image materializes above the player of the nebula.  Adam recorded a 5 second time loop that repeats as a flash of energy flashes through the gasses.  The hologram image is about two feet across and a foot high.  Adam places the player near the console that Risa is leaning upon.  "Majestic, is it not?"<br/><br/>As he leans back into the chair, Dawn enters.  The slight smell of stale whiskey procedes her as she walks into command, Adam rotates his chair to face her.<br/><br/>“Morning,” she announced, breaking the silence. “Hope I didn’t scare you. Look, I couldn’t sleep so I can take over watch if you like.”<br/><br/>Adam stands and stretches, then leans over to punch a few keys.  "Nothing eventful happened all night.  The Ethos nebula is ahead and we are on course for a fly by," he smiles at her tiredly and with appreciation.  "Thank you Dawn, I was fading there fast."  Adam chuckles and walks away from his just vacated chair and stands back and takes in the recorded loop of the Ethos nebula.
