Although he's tested it on every frequency he can think of and found no direct interference, Hoshi doesn't feel comfortable having the little T-Minus device in CIC.
Granted, it's a risk to have it hidden in his things, too, but he doesn't think it likely anyone'll be snooping -- even the ones who are suspicious of him now, even the ones who think he should have been able to warn them. They've all got too much else on their minds these days as it is.
When he comes off shift, he's got four hours before the next one. He scrubs up in the head, splashing cold water to wash away exhaustion, and shrugs back into his jacket before heading to his bunk.
