The transporter room was left in a stunned, almost comical silence as the doors hissed shut behind the departing Trill and his security escort. For a long moment, Ameen just stood there, his face an unreadable mask, processing the... declaration... he had just heard.
He finally turned to his First Officer, Commander Keir. The look that passed between them said everything that couldn't be said out loud in front of the Transporter Chief and the remaining honor guard.
Okay. So... that happened. My 'handful' assessment was a massive understatement...
"Commander," he said, his voice low and firm, meant only for Keir. "The bridge. Let's go."
He didn’t wait for a reply, simply turning and heading for the door, trusting hir to be right behind him. The mission parameters hadn't changed, but the VIP at the center of them certainly had. They needed to reassess, and they needed to do it now.
