<<< Briefing room <<<
His chief had stood up and thrown a gaze at Leo that was filled with what he assumed to be severe irritation, so he did as he knew she was wordlessly telling him and followed her out of the briefing room and tucked his PADD full of hopefully useful information under his arm as he did so. Now being more mindful of his surroundings, he caught a slight tug at the corner of Art’s mouth. He could see she was thinking about something and it had to be either a clever plan or something devilish by the momentary and unconscious half smile.
She’s either thought of a way to get back at Tomer, or she's thought of a way to punish me for stepping out of bounds.
The short walk from the room to the turbo lift was filled with silence and she didn’t even look twice at Leo. Leo’s mouth dried up quicker than the Sahara and his heart skipped every third beat. He knew he wasn’t in serious trouble, but he sure felt like it. The turbo lift down to Deck 4 was just as awkward, but more confined and the remainder of the walk back to the Security Office began to fill Leo with dread as he started thinking of the possible ways that his Chief would punish him using only that second long smile she had as a basis for its severity. As they entered the office, a few other security members were working hard assisting the Officer that she had earlier ordered to find out about the pompous attache’s boss.
As Artemis sat at her computer, Gary, whom Leo had met earlier, handed her a fresh cup of coffee but this time, Leo couldn’t smell any mint. Gary sat down at the opposite console to Art and Leo instantly saw what working together should be like. He watched as Gary first looked at him and then back to Art followed by a tilt of the head and a minor facial expression, wordlessly asking, ‘How was it? Did he behave?’ to which she only threw another gaze at Leo and gave a short, sharp growl.
He didn’t want to say anything. He didn’t want her experienced intimidation to be staring at him. He knew he did wrong by speaking up against the attache but it brought some debate on what would be expected of them during this First Contact, and even showed Leo that while speaking up and asking questions was a good thing, he should maybe wait for a bit more information before he did so. Standing there before his Chief and the shift leader, he prayed that his words wouldn’t sound sarcastic. Leo cleared his still dry throat and spoke.
“With the little time that we have for training, would you like me to go ahead and set up a survival program on the Holodeck for you or find Commander Jensen so I can get used to working as a team with the rest of the Midshipmen first?”
