With Quinn gone, it made for a slightly awkward ride back to the Cursed ship with just Richard and Sam. Only a few people interacted with Richard and even then it was mostly out of pure necessity than an actual choice. As for Sam he had actually never regarded the old man to be that bothersome, but that was probably because Eno didn't regard Sam as someone who would, or for that matter could, disrupt his grand ambition of getting rid of the Dalki.
The reason why Sam was feeling a bit tense now was due to what they had all witnessed in that interrogation room.
Doing his best to avoid the other, Sam would just stare out of the large window of the ship, looking out into the vastness of space while thinking of all the important matters he would have to deal with once they landed. At the same time he was consistently responding to all the emails that had piled up, but he also couldn't help but try to keep one eye on Eno at all times.
