"They don't," he said in a way that held implication that he knew someone who might. Lips pursed, he gave a futile cursory glance around the bridge. If a Founder was there, he could sit right on top of it, and he'd never know it. When they took the form of something, they took it down to the molecular level, confounding all manner of scanners and diagnostics. But why would a Founder overtake the Rotarran? It didn't make sense.
He was reluctant to give voice to his suspicions, yet nothing was to be gained from withholding from her, not in this matter. "We are allied with a race of shapeshifters. It is possible that you and I are not as alone as we are led to believe. The trouble with that is that I can think of no reason they would do such a thing. Why remove all of my crew, leave me behind, and muck about with the ship controls?" He shook his head. He may not have understood many things about the Founders, but he did understand they were not that brand of deceitful.
He nodded approval of the task she seemed to have set for herself and began combing over all of the external sensor readings from that time frame. Perhaps there was an anomaly of some sort, or perhaps he would even see evidence of an encounter. Since the ship currently wasn't laboring and at least some systems were responsive, he didn't think a trip to the engine room would be productive, not right away.
