Sadie swallowed audibly as she stood in front of the CO’s ready room, her hand hovering over the button which would ring the chime. She refused to look back at the people on the bridge, and was visibly shaking. After standing there for what seemed like ages, she finally pressed the chime. She was afraid of what she had to say, but she knew she had to do it. She couldn’t handle this job. She hadn’t signed up to be a department head, and it had been thrust upon her so very suddenly that she just… she couldn’t handle it.
