Kiran regains control of herself and tries to regain control of the situation.  Her hand glows and Alethia is struck by a wave of force, forcing her to let go of then two of them and knocking her down (12subd).  She hits the ground hard, and becomes a bit dizzy. With her other hand, Lt. Cmdr. Kiran draws her sword and points it Yolan's direction.Lt. Cmdr. Kiran starts to speak.  As well as she tries to hide it, the exertion and the yelling is painful to her on account of lingering effects from the near-fatal beating by the metal man and the chaos wine.  "Listen up, everyone.  I'm still the captain here, and I WILL ensure that there is order on this ship. Without order we cannot fight effectively and without fighting effectively, we WILL die.  The challenge before us is a difficult one.  In all likelihood, we cannot defeat this beast when he awakens, and these poor deluded people have planned their response so wrongly that they will have little to offer and little to protect themselves.  Additionally, we know that the beast will likely head to Sarkon, where we must also go to gather vital information to the security of Waterdeep.  The military and humanitarian tasks will need to be balanced and pursued effectively, and we WILL strive for the best possible plan.  However, in order to do that, discipline must be maintained.  Maybe I have not always been the best exemplar of that,  This mission is, after all, my first command.  However, I aknowledge that that is no excuse.  We must, however, move forward.  Yolan, I said nothing false, though I could have chosen my words more carefully.  However, this is nonetheless a military vessel.  You will continue in your navigation duties, but after we leave Sarkon, you will be tasked primarily with cleaning jobs for the duration of the trip.  The rest of you, please, go about your duties."The crowd seems to receive the speach rather well.  Yolan stalks off, clearly angry.  As soon as the rest are gone, Maggie stumbles over to Alethia and lays down on the deck beside her, clearly having overexerted herself and weeling quite ill.  She turns to Alethia with a grimace and says "Sorry about that...Its a military thing...I hope you understand.  I didnt mean to hurt you...and thanks for talking some sense into me."</blockquote>
