Chapter 10
The Liberty merchant vessel housing only two crew members Lt. Ellington and Ensign Jerry Mathews. After ending the conversation with Captain Picard. They were still basically on there own with the under cover operation.
There was nothing to do for the moment. Since the both of them have been up 14 hours without a break. Lt. Ellington needing to change back into his original form in order to properly rest for at least six hours. He asked Ensign Mathews to place the vessel currently onto auto pilot until they decide there next move.
After placing the ship on auto pilot deep in the solar system of Orion and some what close to planet 1245. "I could use some shut-eye Ellington. It's been a long day filled with nothing happening along this particular route." He says out of haste and exporting a long yawn to prove to his crew member that he's exhausted.
Even though Lt. Ellington had changed into his normal form. Mathews was used to looking at the strangeness of his normal habits. "Then I suggest you go to bed Jerry. Since I can't have a grumpy crew member trying to do his job properly." He responded with basically sounding like he was pissed off or something.
"Its why I'm leaving now for that nap of mind. And I suggest you do the same." He says in a ordering type of way towards the shape changer.
