<Captain Raleigh, Captain's Ready Room>

Still wondering why the heck there was a Klingon vessel wandering this deep in Federation Space, Raleigh accesses his computer to start keeping the log of events going on aboard the ship.

"Computer, record Captain's Log."

"Recording"

"Captain's Log, Star Date 9511.16. Upon arrival of the very first few officers aboard the ship, we encountered a cloaked Klingon vessel that tried to steal classified information about the Lafayette. Luckily, Lieutenant Dexter Tarak succeeded at sabotaging the intruder's ship's systems. However, he got short-circuited during the course of this action, and his condition remains unknown for the moment."

"Computer end log."

"Recording stopped"

Raleigh sighs.

I'd better get some sleep. It's been non-stop since I've arrived here. Better get to my quarters. I'll get a free tour of the ship, too...

"Computer, show me the way to my quarters."

A ship map appears on the screen, with a pointed dot line indicating the way. Phillip carefully observes the map for half a minute or so, then switches his terminal off and stands up. He gets out, onto the bridge and to the turbolift. When the doors open, he walks in and turns around.

"Storm, I'm going to get some sleep. If you need me, just call."

Then, as the doors close:

"Deck 3."

The vacuum cleaner-style sound begins to surround the elevator and fades out as Deck 3 approaches.

Raleigh easily finds his quarters and enters. He now feels completely ready for his first night of sleep aboard the ship. The bed is comfortable. Reminds me of my childhood, he thinks. He smiles, thinking that the last week was actually too good to be true. He falls asleep...
