Re: Part 12 - Osmur
"What you have," Shard corrects sharply, "is a position here, with constant observation of your people. Do not forget that, Captain."
But her brow furrows at his admission. The Admiral is pushing back the timeline? The station will be finished before its projected date? Curious. A few reasons for this jump into her mind, but the only ones that make sense involve either the Admiral planning something nefarious on his own, or this being a trap for rebel forces. Leaked information...a fully-functional battlestation...
Not good, either way.
"I will investigate this matter, Captain Alates." Her eyebrow rises. "I assure you, your name will only enter the investigation if something solid is uncovered...or nothing at all. Until a time when the matter is settled one way or another, you will remain anonymous." Something to keep him off balance, that, as they continue their -
And Rhijans speaks up.
Shard twitches slightly, shooting a glance over the captain's shoulder. She's in the role too much now, ready to snap back at her 'subordinate', when common sense catches up. Rhijans wouldn't do that...he and Haarmon, standing close...Juragga's tension, quite different from his looming of earlier...
"Of course," she mutters with a fingerwave of irritation. "The councillor." The older woman has no idea what that might mean to the captain, but even a mystery would keep him thinking in the wrong direction. "Captain, I require your escort back to my shuttle immediately. I hadn't expected this extensive a tour..." Her wintery smile holds no threat, for once. "My fault, not yours. Juggling bureaucratic appointments is not my forte. You've done well here, today. Well indeed."
