“Yes,” Johann said almost as sternly as when he originally spoke to Vora when she came in. “Have a seat.”

It took Jerrin no time at all to process the Captain’s tone and his mother’s presence and figure out that this was about his stupid fight with the engineer. He had no idea what to expect from this summons but whatever hope he had that it wasn’t bad was quickly disappearing.

“I heard a rumor from someone about you lately. Something about… not wanting to be treated like ‘a baby.’ Is that right?”

Jerrin’s eyes went wide. “Please don’t send away my mom! It all happened so fast and I promise it won’t ever happen again. It’s not her fault!-“

Johann’s eyes popped open out of reflex. What is this about?

Jerrin!” Vora interrupted quickly, turning to face her son and resting a hand on his arm as she watched him erupt into a near panic attack. “It’s okay!”

“But, he said-“

“Take a deep breath!” she all but ordered and waited till he did so before she continued. She raised her eyebrows slightly. “It’s okay. We aren’t going anywhere. It hasn’t come to that… yet.”

Jerrin took her words in and the panic left his face. “Oh.” But her warning was clear.

“Like I was trying to say… I was under the impression that you’re not happy how other people besides your mother, are treating you around here. I mean, that’s what this whole thing with what’s-his-name was about, right?”

– Johann Dvorak, CO

“Grant,” Jerrin muttered slightly with clear disdain, though he nodded. “it’s not the first time I’ve been questioned about being somewhere and it was assumed that I was just some kid breaking rules or something.”
