Azami's eyebrows rise slightly as the commander immediately agrees with her. It's not unwelcome, mind; just unexpected to get so complete and quick assent, especially given her past experiences. And gratifying, to say the least. Better and better, it seems Lieutenant Kezzik has an idea for garnering the attention of the hostiles, perhaps allowing the shuttle to slip through untouched.
"Thank you, commander." The appreciation is real, and without reservations.
Instantly, the PO begins planning, sorting through the list in her mind of the wounded, checking off which should stay and which could leave. It's not easy - she's paying attention with part of her head, and going about her tasks with another - but Azami has always been decent enough with multi-tasking. It has, after all, kept her alive all these years. She shoots a thin glance at the other PO, offering a half smile and a helpless shrug.
Sorry, Zogoyah...I hope you didn't want to go back to the ship. But she could use the help, no question, and the Gorn has been fully prepared to assist thus far.
Then T'Lara speaks, and Azami blinks, the sole sign of her surprise.
The counselor wishes to stay and assist? And put herself at risk for the distraction. A slow turn of the head shifts Azami's gaze to the Vulcan woman, studying her for a long moment. Then the PO nods.
"Your assistance would be greatly appreciated," she quietly states, again without reservations. Her gaze then travels over the wounded, and those who will be left behind.
As will be your support, T'Lara. It's a crushing responsibility...but now shared between three, rather than only two.
I...we can't let more of these people die.
For an instant her vision tunnels down, her pale eyes misting over.
Then her habitually unfocused gaze sharpens slightly.
"Mister Zogoyah." It's a request, not a command.
"We should get the shuttle prepped with the people who are going, and determine where we can care for the critically injured." Azami throws a quick glance and a twitch of a smile to T'Lara.
"Please join us when you can, Lieutenant Commander."
