If she was being honest, Aeryn wasn't sure how Lucy was going to react to her effectively tearing a strip off of her. Would she be remorseful and apologetic or possibly be in denial about it all? Not that the CSO could speculate, as ultimately it was down to Devereaux as to how she chose to respond. When Lucy did speak, Aeryn didn't know how to feel, perhaps she even expected a little more. That being said, it did appear that Lucy understood the consequences of her actions, thus preventing the junior officer from digging herself deeper into the proverbial hole that she had created.
" Good, because this isn't the time for excuses, not when we're about to face the unknown again, and I need to know that I can trust you".
The analogy that Lucy then used as she continued, spoke more of just her not knowing when and when not to keep her mouth shut, or think properly. This reminded Aeryn to look over Lucy's files again, as the senior officer considered her words, before speaking.
" Whether you succeed or not, is up to you, Lucy, because if you're willing to try, to do better and not be considered a liability, then you'll take this final warning seriously and prove to me, and the Captain, that you can do this job".
That's what it boiled down to, and quite frankly Aeryn didn't want to be, minus a member of the department, not with the task ahead, and yet it was now in Lucy's court, so to speak, whether she would accept the final warning, and show that she was capable of being a functional member of the crew. If not, then, well Aeryn would deal with it accordingly.
