Main Sim - Starfleet Academy - Reporting Back to Vice-Admiral Commandant Bradbury

Posted May 20, 2019, 2:50 a.m. by Captain John Tiberius Glen (Captain) (David Fergusson)

About ten minutes later, Captain Glen arrived at the Admiral’s office and rang the chime.

A somber =/\= Come In! =/\= came from inside.

Glen entered the office and stood to attention. “Sir! My report, Sir!”

”..Ah thank you Captain..” He said looking like he had downed a healthy dose of some kind of alcohol he took the PADD and read it over, finally he put it down with a cold emotion in his eyes, “..So my suspicions were right, I see it in your report and yet I still find it hard to believe. Thank you Captain for taking up the inspection and not asking too many questions over why I asked for it..” He said. “..Can I get you a drink?” he offered

“No, but thank you Sir,” replied Glen. “I have a window of opportunity to fly to Paris to see my son and then return for the final lectures here,” Glen explained. “I have to leave now or else miss the fight… Sir, I trust you realise that my COS must report these findings to the relevant authorities, and there will be consequences. I think that was why you asked me to investigate, and why you appeared to act a little strangely… if I might say. Sir, is there someone I can call for you to discuss this with? I don’t think you should be left alone, but I do need to leave.”

”..I understand Captain, and yes you are right on all points of my reason for doing this. I too have a meeting with a therapist in a few hours so you need not worry about me. Go see your son and be well..” He said.

“Sir, with all due respect, I don’t think you should be alone for a ‘few hours’. I realise my reputation is as an unfeeling, gung-ho, cowboy diplomat, but my CMO just delivered a powerful speech arguing for the great need for Counsellors on every Starfleet ship, and I think I need to work on my caring, compassionate and sympathetic side. As such, she would never forgive me for leaving you alone. So, I’m going to speak to your Yeoman on the way out and explain to her that you’ve just received some very bad news from me and could she sit with you until your appointment with the therapist.”
