[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8501514, member: 6761960"] [SIZE=5][B]Spitting[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=4] Out in the corridor, the officers of the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet stand by, warily eyeing the 2nd CRG's own captains. Maxim takes an aggressive step towards Ki Su-Lynn, cocking his head to one side as he recognises her uniform. "Subline captain, is it? You command a destroyer? How funny." Caspian can feel the waves of aggression rolling off the Armory commandant, like heat. Ki doesn't back off, but instead sidesteps. Maxim circles one way as she wheels back the other way, eyes locked on his. He spits his words like fire. "I could have sworn it was a destroyer that came in under our carrier's guns and slaughtered two hundred of our spacers and hangar crew. And that's why Strike Captain Gopalakrishnan, the finest officer I know, is now in terminal stasis. They say it's a coin-flip, you know. Whether he'll recover at all." He holds one armoured hand up at her, miming a coin-toss. "A flip of the coin! It should have been you, Red bitch!" Ki grins, her eyes flashing dangerously, "Should've, would've, could've, Purvie," she gives an arrogant little shimmy and her grin broadens. "I mean, you came into this fight expecting us to just roll over and die because you're some big-shot capship driver?
