“Three hours? He must be getting soft.” Royal saod witha chuckle in reference to the R&D Chief. “But I do agree with absolutely everything you just said, Dira. Except one. You said it ‘might’ get messy. Oh, it absolutely will get messy. And not just for her. For us as well. There are going to be people and groups absolutely watching her… and us. And most of them, I fear, do not have her or our best interests at heart.”

She grumbled and then drank more heavily from her glass. He wasn’t aware of her previous history with Intelligence and the sore point it still was with her, but even without that she wasn’t relishing anyone snooping about her ship. “Well, I for one would love to know who dropped her off with Kane in the first place. Was the same person or persons that got her out of the saracen’s system? Was it someone else? For the record, I refuse to let any other groups turn my ship into a circus and if they try, they are going to wish they hadn’t.”

Royal looked at her as he took a drink and then said “Oh, I can guarantee that anyone who decides to cone to this ship looking to start anything will not have a pleasant stay. Captain. On that topic, you have my word.”

She blew out a breath. “I should probably warn you that Intelligence either has forgotten my previous… clash with them, or has let it be given they still assigned Kane here. But I’ve made a fuss about their tactics in the past, in a situation that got someone needlessly killed. It did not go well. The least of which was that the person that died was my fiancee.” Dira knocked a good amount more of the whiskey back. Those memories hurt less now that she had spoken about it finally, but they hurt less, not that there was no pain. “And even mentioning it is agaisnt orders, but to be fair, I said screw that a while back before the whole thing with Franks, so… yeah.”

Sinclair drank a measure and then said “Something about me you should probably know… I really do not give a damn about hierarchy when it comes to my crew. Rather has gotten me in hot water more than once; and it absolutely will again. I’m sure.” He smiled at her and lifted his hlass. “There is just something about cathartic about looking at an Admiral who thinks they’re going to jeopardize your entire crew for their own needs and just saying ‘No.’…” and he took another drink.

A sly smirk slipped onto her face before it disappeared into her glass. “I agree, though I wasn’t saying simple words. At one point I had had to have my crewmates hold me back.” Dira paused and lowered her glass, almost breaking into a laugh. “Huh, guess that stuff that came up with Franks has been going way back. That’s useful to know.”

“In any case, I will do everything I can to protect Corinne Dalton, even if I have to physically stand between them and her. And with you there too, they’re out of luck.”

“Now… you. where are you at with this all. For me, this is administrative and about my crew. For you this is very personal.”
