Hope it isn't meant to be attached to anything!

Chatter about a floating bolt somewhere. Now pocketed by one of the crewmembers.

Hard mate confirmed. A "loose bolt" (eek) has been placed into one of the crew's pockets.

Leak checks underway. There's also a post docking conference, so we might get to hear more about the Soyuz failure this morning.

Crew - MCC switched to intercom. Reception loud and clear

Anyone know what the occasional tone is? For those familiar with the shuttle C&W system, it sounds like the SM Alert tone.

30 min delay to the Russian press conference.

Probably people will ask about today's Soyuz-2 failure so they will need more info about that.
