On the turbolift down to the Science Complex Lucy remembered one more item the crew were meant to process before starting the next mission. The arrest and imprisonment of their Chief Engineer. There had been enough changes that she should really have treated it like a new crew. Stable doors and horses came to mind. She was stressed and wishing she could forgo the unpleasantries.
Better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and dispel all doubt.
Lucy followed Aeryn into the Chief Science Officer’s office. Watching Aeryn sit on her side of the desk told her it was pretty much as expected. She remembered not to sit down. This kind of exchange always began with the recipient of the lecture standing. The one giving the lecture might stand if they felt it was necessary.
“Lieutenant Commander?”
Why didn’t I keep my damn mouth shut?
Lucy had a terrible sense of deja vu. She really wanted this to be the last time she was on the receiving end of one of these. Obviously she still had lessons to learn, again.
