Tom sat at his desk watching the goings on in the less personal areas of the ship. He had noted some illicit liaisons. It appeared that Mrs. Park was having an affair, without the knowledge of her husband, with the Cannons. Mr. and Mrs. Cannon didn’t appear to be aware of each other’s dalliances with Mrs. Park. Tom didn’t think the fallout, if it came to light, would be a significant security risk so he noted the latest dalliance in the back corner of the shuttle bay, between the two ladies, added it to the file that he’d been building over the last six months, and set it aside. It was noted that this began soon after Mrs. Park had undergone sterilization proceedings. Mrs. Park had been earning a promiscuous reputation but, so far, her other dalliances have been keeping a tight lip about it. Tom thought she was rather smart to not carry on with members of the crew that her husband worked with on a regular basis.
