Tom sat at his desk watching the goings on in the less personal areas of the ship. He had noted some illicit liaisons. It appeared that Mrs. Park was having an affair, without the knowledge of her husband, with the Cannons. Mr. and Mrs. Cannon didn’t appear to be aware of each other’s dalliances with Mrs. Park. Tom didn’t think the fallout, if it came to light, would be a significant security risk so he noted the latest dalliance in the back corner of the shuttle bay, between the two ladies, added it to the file that he’d been building over the last six months, and set it aside. It was noted that this began soon after Mrs. Park had undergone sterilization proceedings. Mrs. Park had been earning a promiscuous reputation but, so far, her other dalliances have been keeping a tight lip about it. Tom thought she was rather smart to not carry on with members of the crew that her husband worked with on a regular basis.

Other than the usual hidden caches of alcohol and food stuffs, it was a normal day.
Tom turned his chair, leaned back, looked out at the stars and sighed. Even someone as socially inept as himself could get bored. Just because he was used to it didn’t mean it didn’t take it’s toll on him. He didn’t even feel like interviewing new crew at the moment, not that any would come voluntarily. Well, that wasn’t true. There had been a few times when crew dropped by but it was usually because they wanted to see if he could do something for them.

T’Lora knocked softly on the door. It opened and she walked in hesitantly. “Hello. I am T’Lora.” She wasn’t quite sure what had possessed her to come in, other than boredom that was almost tangible.
-T’Lora
Tom had turned to face the door. He already knew who was on the other side about to enter and touched the floating panel that was connected to the room controls.
As T’Lora entered, Tom gestured with his hand and the display panels floating above his desk sank into the surface of the desktop.
“Ah, Doctor T’Lora. What brings you to my quarters?” he asked indicating the two chairs in front of the desk.
The room she walked into was not so much an office as a minimalist decorated quarters with a desk in it, a very high tech desk even by Star Fleet standards. Besides the desk, there were only the most basic amenities except for a large dark panel with six small boxes near the ceiling, a larger box on the floor below the dark panel, and a very small box and some handheld device, with several buttons, on a shelf next to the panel.
Tom was wearing the black on black uniform of an Internal Security agent that was so often confused with the charcoal on black of intelligence.

OOC: Please read the bio for Tom.
T’Lora looked a bit confused. “I am not quite sure myself. I had time to spare, and felt I should come in.” She was a bit lost in thought. “Tell me. what is it like being in Internal Security?”
- T’Lora“Do you mean besides people being constantly suspicious that they’re under scrutiny, especially now since we’re well outside Federation space?” Tom asked a bit flatly.
- Tom, IntSec
She rolled her eyes. “Such people are fools. No one has privacy in this day and age.” She shook her head. “No. something you enjoy about it perhaps.”
-T’Lora“Spoiling plans of those threatening the Federation from within is it’s own reward.” Tom said.
Tom looked at T’Lora for a moment before he cracked a smile.
“That’s a bit of IntSec dogma. No, I enjoy watching. I’m a bit socially inept and a poor judge of boundaries. This way I get to watch and learn about people without all the awkwardness.”
- Tom
She nearly smiled with him. “I belive you would be well suited to Vulcans sir.” She thought back. “I only lived on Vulcan for 8 years, and I am still socially awkward.” She smiled, clearly this time. “I suppose we have similar experiences in vastly different capacities. You watch from behind the screen while I watch in front of their faces.”
-T’Lora
“I observe in front of their faces too, they just never remember the encounter.” Tom said, “It does make it easier to do my job but it has it’s drawbacks socially.”
