Robert set on the bunk in the back of the runabout as he warped through space towards the USS Merlin. He had been reading up on their current mission to move a population of seals do a planet in order to strengthen diplomatic relations. He raised an eyebrow and laid his hand holding the PADD on his leg that was propped up on the bed while the other one hung off the edge. By the way he had been living since getting out of the Academy this mission seemed almost normal, although it would be nice not to have the constant threat of death always hanging over his head. He let out a breath and sat up swinging his leg down over the bed and setting the PADD on the night stand then chuckled to himself. As he stood up and stretched he smirked, “however, this is Starfleet, never a dull moment,” he whispered to himself.

He pulled his T-shirt down and then walked forward through the cabin door on the flight deck before moving to take a seat at the helm controls. He had been on the deep cover assignment in the beta quadrant where he had been tasked with infiltrating a crime syndicate. Unfortunately, that mission had not panned out and local law enforcement had blown his cover unwittingly. Whizowski had convinced the officers to arrest him and take him to jail along with everybody else that they had picked up during the raid and then from there Starfleet intelligence decided that it was best to pull him out. On paper and as far as the federation news network was concerned James Conrad was convicted of murder and sent to a far-flung penal colony where he would never be heard from again.

“And I worked so hard on that background too,” the newly minted Lieutenant Commander said to himself shaking his head.

The dark married man stretched one more time as an alert went off on his console. The officer's hands moved over the console tapping at the buttons with practiced movement and pulled up a message that he was nearing the USS Merlin. He nodded to himself and turns toward the comms panel before typing in his access code and sending a hail to the Merlin, “runabout Styx to USS Merlin, this is Lieutenant Commander Robert Whizowski and I am inbound on your position, permission to come aboard...”
