One anxiety pill,a fresh uniform, some hot beverage after the doctor was feeling much better.
Jasper cell phone rang =/\= Jasper its Cross head to assembly room 1b now and if you can find that darn doctor bring her with you for she is not responding to my call! =/\=

From the tone of her voice they would both pick up how irked and annoyed the female doctor was, for little did she know that Marthese cell phone was lying somewhere on the ocean floor.

=/\= Aye doctor we will be with you shortly Doctor we are waiting to be discharged from the medical section. =/\= Jasper said quickly as he did not go into details. =/\= I am sorry that we were not there sooner but could not be helped. We will be beamed to your location momentarily. =/\= Jasper said as he was cleared by the medical staff. He was just waiting on the other doctor to be cleared.

Marthese’s eyes widened ‘’Oh no!’’ she exclaimed ,again grabbing Jasper’s hand ‘’Let’s go quick’‘.

They made it to the assembly room indicated by the CMO and made their way to the first row.Cadets and tutors were already present while others were still entering and looking for a place to sit .

Marthese looked around for Cross but of yet she was nowhere to be seen ‘’Jasper I did not anticipate or expect that there was going to be so many present’’ she barley whispered ,the female doctor tried to stay calm but her shaking hands gave her away .

“you will be fine Doctor please be calm I am not a fan of crowds either. ” Jasper said as he looked for himself as well. She was right he did not see the CMO around either as he pulled out his communicator and opened it. =/\= “Doctor Cross this is Engineer Jasper We are here in the auditorium.” =/\= Jasper commented as he waited on dr cross to respond. =/\= ” Are we needed somewhere else doctor cross?” =/\=

=/\= I’m just waiting for everyone to settle at the assembly room 1b before I enter and commence=/\= Cross replied in a neutral tone.When the CMO closed her transmitter she heaved a sigh of relief....at least they both made it.

Nkosenye stood at the very back of the room. He watched as the Cadets trickled in and then saw Ericson and Marthese come in and nodded once at them. Crossing his arms, the ebony giant simply waited to see what Cross had in store for the class.

Marthese did not nod back for she never saw the CoS since she hung her head, eyes firmly fixed on the floor but Nkoosenye would see her long hair drenched wet and lo and behold she had no shoes on!.

Captain Glen joined Nkosenye at the back of the lecture theatre. John had disappeared after the end of Tinga’s lecture without saying where he was going. He had gone to check on the times of flights to and from Paris. If he was to make the inspection of Red Squad that Bradbury had asked for, and to also make it to Andromeda’s mother’s house on Rue Alcide Vellard, Bobigny, Paris, then he was on a very tight schedule. However, it was possible to do both and that relieved John Glen somewhat. Between the next two lectures he would book the flight and then call Andromeda to let him know of his plans. Once the cadets had all sat down, but before the lights were dimmed, Glen made his way to sit with the rest of his crew.
