Aeryn was still struggling to comprehend why this was happening so publicly, or even at all while the wall she had tried to build to contain her emotions threatened to break down completely. Her stomach and insides continued to churn with the shock and disbelief of having one of her friends treated this way before a sudden movement gave the CSO something else to focus on. Mara went over to Ju to offer the Engineer some comfort and reassurance, and Aeryn knew then that she would also be there for Ju, to support her and anyone else who was close to the FO, because this was just incomprehensible.
She believed in Damian and while she wished that she could go with him and be there for him, it wasn't possible, but that didn't mean that she couldn't do it from afar. Givens then gave the interloper, her thoughts on the matter, while Captain Crawford seemed to struggle with the sudden turn of events, and understandably so, because Artemis was a family, and it had already suffered several blows, since returning from Cardassian Space.
Givens was right, proper procedure and protocol had been ignored, and even with such serious accusations, this wasn't the way to go about it. In fairness, the whole situation stunk, and if Damian had been a victim of whoever was pulling the strings, and causing all of this misery and upheaval, well it rankled the redhead. Looking around the room, it just felt worse seeing everyone's reactions until Aeryn's gaze settled on Damian, who found his voice and accepted his fate with minimum fuss.
Her heart ached for her friend, trying to offer him some comfort as he awaited the cuffs. Seeing the way the security officers took Damian into their custody, couldn't stop the wave of nausea that went through Aeryn, barely taking notice of the Caitian Commander's apology, which in her opinion wasn't sincere. Aeryn knew where the blame lay, and it was with those who had ordered this, but it was made clear that the subject wasn't up for debate, as Damian was escorted from the briefing room.
A final message was provided by the Caitian and Aeryn,didn't want to give him any more of her attention, and whether the meeting would continue now depended on the Captain, and the temptation to drink the whole bottle of whiskey grew even stronger.
