It was a short walk down the hall towards the general sleeping quarters that were nestled close to the cargo bay.  Rounding a bend the Sarge found his astute eyes drawn towards one Private Tuggerson who was leaning casually up against the wall of the hallway across from the open door into Miss Herds room.  Tug Boats eyes shifted towards the approach of his commanding officer and Esther in tow with him and immediately the grunt stood upright and at attention, just like the still hard dick under his cup.<br/><br/>"At ease Private."  West commented as the thud of his boots came to a halt just outside Jaxx's room.  Briefly his eyes flicked over to the open door to Ruya's chamber and he gave her an appreciative smile as he caught her in the act of dutifully inspecting and reassembling her weapon.  His attention shifted back to the lumbering form of Private Tuggerson who remained steadfastly rigid.  "Private, your dismissed, return to your quarters immediately."  The Tug Boat snapped his head up and gave a sharp barked out reply.  "Sir, yes, sir."  He stole a hasty glance over into the room towards Jaxx and her android assistant.  There were moments where The Tug Boat might push his luck, but that normally unfiltered mouth of his remained silent.  He left then, the weight of his steps echoing and fading away around the bend, glad to be out of the sight for the time being.<br/><br/>Once the Private had been dismissed, Sergeant West stepped forward and turned to look through the door towards Jaxx.  His heels snapped together as he crossed his muscle laden arms behind his back.  There wasn't any look of judgement to be seen in his dark eyes as they fearlessly locked with those of the Ms. Herd.  Internally he was quite aware that she was the sort of woman who was used to getting her way.  She had the full package, that was for sure, and he wasn't blind to the way the Lieutenant seemed to be avoiding her.<br/><br/>"Miss Herd, it's a pleasure to meet you."  He kept his arms crossed behind his back while he made his formal introduction.  "I'm Sergeant West as I'm sure you're well aware."  There was a subtle glance taken towards Esther.  "While the Lieutenant is my commanding officer, he is quite aware of the fact that the soldiers on this mission are under my command.  Contractually speaking, Forges troops belong to me, Divinity assigned Miss Esther to you and I'm returning her to your service.  In the future if you have concerns for your own personal safety and desire assistance you'll bring those requests to me."  He stopped for a breath, uncurled his right arm from behind his back and offered his hand.  "I can be easy to work with, so long as your willing to follow the proper protocols."
