As I enter the hanger I look around, somewhat frantically, for our ship. After a few moments I find it and make my way to the group. [color=9e0039][b]"Damn"[/b][/color] I mutter to myself when I see that most everyone had already arrived. As I attempted to sneak in at the back of the group without being noticed I hear the Commander speak up. Thankfully though, she wasn't addressing me specifically. Settling into place I turn my attention to her. She didn't look happy, then again she never did. At this moment, however, she seemed especially agitated. As casually as possible I try to look and see what was causing the Commander's irritation.

As my team assembled in the hangar I gave a few nods of recognition. When my eyes catch Raymond's I quickly look away, without being obvious. It pleases me that most have arrived on time. And thus far those who are late are only so by a few minutes. I decide to focus my attention on a more pressing matter. My annoyed gaze rests on the girl who had been speaking for one of my officers. [color=9e005d][b]"Last I read on her folder she's able to speak, so she'll be doing so for herself from now on."[/b][/color] I say to the girl, then look to Giovanna. [color=9e005d][b]"I'm your Commander now, any management will be dealt with by me. And speak for your damn self from now on."[/b][/color]  I tell her plainly. As I look back to the "attendant" I feel myself becoming more annoyed by the situation. That the RAS would even try to control people like that, they're own soldiers at that, makes me very angry. Controlling people's every move is what we're fighting against, damnit. I haven't spent much time around Giovanna, she very well may need someone to help balance her temperament. However, this mission is to important to risk any authorization personnel. [color=9e005d][b]"I'll say this once, and as nicely as possible. You are dismissed, leave, don't argue. It won't do any good."[/b][/color] I tell the girl. Her look was simply bewildered. 

Just as I have handled one situation, another one pops up. One that is so ironic it's nearly laughable. As I was nearly about to correct Sergeant Fenris the booming voice of Lt Commander Sharp rung out. [color=9e005d][b]"Thank you Sharp, that is [i]quite[/i] enough. You can be quiet now."[/b][/color] I say harshly.  My focus once more on Eric. [color=9e005d][b]"I had to speak to your previous Commander but he assured me your companion was of the utmost importance and that she wouldn't be in the way. If I find that to not be the case I'll have her put in a crate or put out the air lock, don't make me have to do that."[/b][/color] I tell him simply. A snow ball had a better chance in hell than me putting a harmless animal to death. Often I'm more fond of dogs than people, however, he needed to understand I was serious that she needed to not hinder any part of this mission.
