The instant someone else stepped into the program, Gath flipped the switch in his head that made him all business again. He gave a single nod to the CO, "Sir..."
The pod soon materialized and the countdown began. Gath stepped closer to the pod. He had the auto-injector in his hand, but also had an isolinear tag as well. When he injected their guest, he would also attach the tiny tag to the back of his clothing. He would place in at the neck, which was also where he would need to find a place to inject them. He had studied the scans and they had quite a bit of muscle at the neck, so it should be safe. He would be careful not to place the tag too close to the injection point, as they might detect it if he did.
The young Science Officer was still going on endlessly, but the kid was fresh out of school, so it was expected. There was a song he had heard while at the Academy that was old and Gath had liked very much. It had words that reminded him of the Science Officer.
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Those were the words that came to him now. He was a decade older than Cortez, but he remembered being fresh out of school and on his first assignment. In Gath's case, it was trial by fire. Not everyone survived that mission. He learned hard lessons from that. If Gath could help it, Cortez would not have the same kind of initial introduction to life in Star Fleet.
