[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 8520893, member: 6761960"] [B][SIZE=5]Police Work[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]Checking his datapad, Caspian notes that the request has been approved for the service and arrangements are being made for the ceremony as soon as the perimeter is secured. Notably Captains Ki and Evans will be absent with only their second in commands attending - Line Captain Saint-Germaine has assigned the two Destroyers to establish a picket line around the formation along with one of the Shamokin's fighter wings. The other will be fully armed but available as part of the ceremony. Caspian nods silently to Major Mahayhay, "Yes. It is fortunate the losses weren't heavier," he shrugs. "I am concerned about the news from the Purview fleet. Line-Captain Saint Germaine seems willing to let them sort out their... crew issues and she seems to trust this Strike Captain Bannon to handle the situation with the necessary... tact. I have my doubts. If we have to intervene on board the James I..." he trails off and shakes his head angrily. "How much training do your people have in policework? And with the Colonel incapacitated, am I correct in assuming that you will be in charge? How ready are your people in case things escalate? I don't like that that little Purview carrier driver saw everything." "Police action on the James I? More like storming the ship, if you ask me. Our marines have plenty of experience in police actions, and their morale is still high. But if we get involved on that ship, the fleets will start shooting. And then nobody wins." Mahayhay turns to go, then stops and says over her shoulder: "And yes, for your information, I am in command for the time being. For how much longer, I don't know. The Board isn't eager to keep a carrier without mechs in the area of ops. Sooner or later, we'll be withdrawn." Caspian nods and turns away, his hands clasped behind him, muttering about the lack of preparedness, the vexation plain on his face. He tells himself that it is simply a reflection of his own impotence, stranded on the Bukharin without his own ship. It does not make him feel any better as he stalks angrily back towards where he'd left the opposing officers. He almost wishes Captain Ki has stirred something else up so he'd have the satisfaction of punching her to relieve the frustration. By the time Caspian has returned to the corridor, he's almost missed it all. Strike Captain Bannon and her contingent - conspicuously missing Captain Petrie - are on the move, their armoured boots tramping on deckplates as they head back towards their lander. "They're eager to make themselves scarce," says Captain Meade of the Shamokin Rising. "The James I has gone dark, and it looks like something has gone wrong on board. And the Purvies aren't talking about it." Bernd also flashes Caspian a notification that Captain Lutjens has finally rejoined the fleet, and is asking Caspian and his command crew to join him for drinks. Lots of drinks. After all, they've all been through Hell. Next: Sounds of silence[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
