Posted by Lieutenant Alexandra “Little Sehlat” Primage (Pilot. Grn Squad Ldr) in Main Sim - CIC- Seeking Permission (Attn CAG/CNSes)
Xandra stepped from the lift and headed for the CIC. She never looked back to see if one or both of the Councilors were following her. They didn’t know what was wrong, or even if there was something wrong. She felt fine, was clear headed, had even run over the specs of every ship she had ever flown in her life. There was no mixing it up n her head, no crossing of the lines. No, it had to be the planet and whatever had happened during her blackout.Stepping into the CIC she listened as Ric gave his orders to those on the away mission and stepped up beside him. “Permission to take a shuttle to the surface, Sir.” Her voice was confident and sure, though Ric would see the slight twitch of her fingers and the pulse racing at her neck as she stood toe to toe with the man who had permission to ground her for the rest of her career.
Ric caught the movement out of the corner of his eye as the trio entered CIC. “You want to what, Lt?”
“I believe the trouble I had was linked to the surface. I feel fine and even the Councilors can’t decide if there is anything wrong.” She wasn’t making excuses, merely stating facts. It was coming out as calculated facts and the emotions were, for the most part, being kept at bay. “I want to return to the surface, with whatever escort you deem necessary. And I will remain away from the mission so there is no need to worry about me putting anyone in jeapordy. One of two things will happen… nothing, in which case, you choose whatever measure of punishment, or medical care, or censorship you deem necessary. Or,” she took a deep breath,” returning to the surface and being subjected to whatever residue is left from those microwave emitters that have been used for years, will cause another reaction. If it’s the latter, then we know that whoever we rescue or bring up here from down there will need treatment. And we will know not to let them go back to the surface again… that includes me.”
She wasn’t sure if her assumption was right or not, but it was the only equation variable they hadn’t accounted for.
Xandra
Pilot (?)
The CAG had to hand it to her. She definitely sounded as if she had her confidence back. His gaze went from Doolittle and Sicnlair and back to Xandra a few times. He was upset that she disregarded his orders, but knew how badly she wanted to get back into the mix. “Did I not give you an order to stay in Sickbay until I could talk to one these doctors to figure out what’s wrong?”
Ric shook his head and sighed. He knew he was fighting a losing battle unless he could get some backing from the counselor or doctor. He looked at Doolittle and Sinclair again and asked, “Was this your idea or hers?”
“And you’re okay with it?’
