The bed is untidy, Rhod has a tendency to pass out in it then wake up the next morning, panic at the time and dash out without straightening it. There are attempts at touches of a homely feel, a book case with added info-cube slots is bolted against one wall and a bed side table holds a picture of Rhod's old family in it. There is also a small secret compartment beneath a chess board that rests on the solid block of the table, though only Rhod and the computer know how to get in so far.

Rhod came into the room, frowning slightly and stroking his forehead as he listened to the computer talking to him in his head. "Yes... yes I'll take it in here..." he muttered seemingly to himself, frowning at the chess set as he sat down in his chair before speaking "I'm here captain, what's the situation?" There was a moment of silence as Rhod listened to the person at the other end of whatever apparently psychic telephone wire he was using was saying. "Captain stay calm, just stay calm and tell me the situation. What is attacking-" His voice broke off and he swallowed heavily, rubbing his hand over his sweaty face as he glanced around at the room "Captain? Captain respond! Dammit man you can't go out like this!" His hands were shaking slightly as he suddenly stood up, tossing the chair across the room but not caring. Oh god, what should he DO?

Another voice was in his head this time, two in fact, but one was the computer's. Rhod rubbed his face slowly as he thought, then spoke "The computer told me you heard that." He paused for a breath "We can't risk the ship... but we can't do nothing. I'll be up there soon." He walked out of his room hurridly, heading off towards the control room.
