After the staff meeting, Mardusk made his way to the Captain’s Ready Room. Instead of ringing the chime, he rapped his large green knuckles on the door. He took a breath, and waited for the Captain to answer.

“Come,” Kelly’s common reply echoed through the door. Looking up from her desk, Kelly sat straighter in her chair instead of her slightly reclined position. The day had been long and it was going to be an even longer night.

“Take a seat,” she gestured to one of the chairs in front of her.

Mardusk rested his butt on the back of one of the chairs and said “Skipper, I got a ton of shit to handle right now. If you’re gonna chew my ass out for calling out your man, can ya go ahead and get to it? I’m still processing the scene in the Promenade and people are freakin’ the f%<k out.”

“Calling out my man,” she raised an eye brow. “That is rather simplistic don’t you think and you have time.” Kelly did not order Mardusk to sit. He could stand for all she carried about. “What you did in there was share a piece of information that was not meant for public consumption yet. I am wondering why you felt it was your place to even mention it in the meeting,” she steadied her gaze on him.

Mardusk leaned forward and glared at Kelly. Through gritted teeth he said “Everyone in there is a leader on this ship and just got their proverbial asses handed to them because of that kid and her realtionship to your husband. We’ve got I don’t even know how many people in sickbay, and some may not make it. We’ve got dozens of traumatized kids and parents and a proverbial sh!t-ton of cleanup, repair, counseling, and who knows what the hell else in front of us… and you are worried about that? For f€<k’s sake, Captain… you are really gonna sit there and be upset I told the department heads and team leaders that?! When they should have known already?” Mardusk leaned back and scowled. “You need to get your priorities in order, Kelly.” Mardusk rarely used her first name, and when he did, it was almost always because he was trying to get her undivided attention. “Because of all the crap you got on your plate right now to be worked up over? That shouldn’t even be in your top ten.”
