Hurrying her step, Wright slid in the room after Harris without even giving the doors a chance to close between them. She didn’t know the reason as to why Calvin was walking into his Ready Room but she had more important things in mind. As the Intelligence Officer that she was, Molly might have walked in silently enough for Cal not to notice that he was no longer alone in the room.

“Medical might have found a potential solution for the women’s eating issues. One that doesn’t need to use members of our crew.”

There were no pleasantries. Just the point.

It was as if Molly had shot the man. With a sudden yelp, Harris leapt straight up about a foot off the deck and whirled around to face the Intel Chief as white faced as she’d ever seen him.

“Jesus Christ Molly!” He squeaked in an uncharacteristic high pitch. “How many frackin’ times do I have to tell you, stop with the Intel sneaky bullshit! I swear to god, you’re gonna give me a heart attack.”

Molly suppressed her will to roll her eyes. He had been Intelligence too once. He should know better.

Pausing to calm himself for a moment, Harris tugged his tunic straight, ran his fingers through his hair and with a soft sigh… returned to moving towards his desk.

“So…” The ship’s CO began in earnest. “… what kind of a solution are they proposing?” Harris asked, settling back into his chair.

“A neural stimulator.” Wright began. She remained unfazed, as if nothing had happened before their conversation. “The women feed on male neural energy. According to the Doctor, the neural stimulator is able to replicate said energy so that they can feed on it. They didn’t seem to like it, but they understood it was the only way they would be allowed to survive…” Molly sighed. It would be clear to Cal she found the whole situation slightly annoying. “Any news I missed out on while I was on the Brig?”

“Yes…” Harris nodded as he motioned to the chair for Wright to join him. “… we have a Security ship inbound to meet with us, rendezvous in just a few minutes actually. I sent Princess down to meet them and bring them up here. Hopefully, they can take over this headache and we can be on our way.”

Molly sighed and sat down in the chair Cal had indicated. Headache was the right word. Briefly, Wright propped her elbows on the table and laid her face on her open palms. She felt tired and somehow she felt like her self control was slowly slipping away. The only thing that would give away to Harris that she had something on her mind would be the fact that she didn’t comment on his use of Princess to refer to the ship’s XO.

Looking back to Cal, she asked. “Should I call our Chief of Security?”
