She wasn’t mad. That’s what infuriated her so much. Tenkiller had been doing his job when he told her she didn’t have permission to use the shuttle to go into the debris field. It was now an issue that she didn’t have proper clearance. Which meant only one thing… she had to get it.

Going back to her quarters, she tapped out a missive to the Captain seeking to speak to him about clearance into the field for collection of samples and data pertaining to its destruction. She then made herself a cup of tea and waited. She just hoped it came before her two days of off time were over. She’d already wasted half a day.
