[Captains Ready Room]

After leaving the transporter room, Kennit had returned to the Bridge. She wanted more information on the freighter, and sat down in Captain’s chair to pull up the ship’s computer. Entering a query, she requested all available information on the Maharshi Krishnatreya, the ship’s owners. It’s crew, current passengers and cargo manifest. When the computer responded, it was to advise her that a complete listing of the ship’s passengers would take 4 hours to compile and return. With a muttered curse, she confirmed that she did indeed still want the information even though it would require time to send the request to the vessels parent company and get the information. With nothing else to do but wait, she left and retreated to the Ready Room. There, she entered the private area where the Captain had a bed to rest, with a small bath which included a sonic shower.

Retrieving a clean uniform from the very small closet, she headed to clean up a bit and change back to a uniform. Irritation and emotion still boiled through her thoughts.. and it reflected in the dark intensity of her gaze. Pausing to look herself over in the mirror, she was aggrieved to realize she had lost weight relatively speaking, her body was lithe and lean, skin stilll pale, the scars on her body paler still in the mirrors reflected image. Lost weight yes, gained muscle and tone.. To hell with it!

Stepping into the sonic shower, she let the device do its job and then exited, clean but not nearly as satisfying as a hot water shower for sure.

Partially dressed, she opted to make herself as on a rest period and laid down on the bed. Ordering the computer to wake her after 3 hours, she closed her eyes. With her status marked as on rest, she would only be disturbed in the event of a further emergency.
