Kinda nice to have some quiet, apart from that flood. Of course, now that I've said it, there's gonna be some catastrophe and everyone'll start pointing fingers about me jinxing it, but still. Gotta admit, it's nice.

For any of the new people, my name's Commander Charles Tucker the Third, but everyone calls me Trip. I'm the Chief Engineer on board the starship Enterprise - not Jim's, the NX-01, the original one - and here I'm a warden and the head of maintenance and repair.

Anyone up for another movie night sometime this week? I'm kinda in the mood for somethin' like a thriller, but I can probably be talked out of it if that's not what everyone else's in the mood for.

[Private to Preston]

John Preston? Trip Tucker. We should probably talk.

[Private to T'Pol]

Four inmates in five months. Must be some kinda record. How're you doin'?

[Private to Kay]

I've got a couple questions for you, if you're not busy.

[Private to Jim]

I've got a couple ideas for the new lock.

Considerin' everything he gave up to go against a system like that, I'd like to think he'd be able to see O'Brien's - no offense - full of crap.

I'll keep an eye on it, but I'll definitely let you know if it's gonna become an issue. Thanks, seriously.

O'Brien can be alarmingly persuasive. He may be many things, but he's actually a rather good judge of character and at finding which buttons he ought to push with people. I'll keep an eye on him as well, and let you know if I notice anything.

Thanks, Una.
