He carefuly monitered the alien being, taking a step back when it spoke. That was unexpected. It's attitude was one of hostility, or so it seemed to Malicent. He turend to the Captain after Artimis had spoken, to give his own opinion on the restraints holding the unknown creature down. "Captain, I suggest you keep it restrained until it has had the situation clearly explained to it. It appears confused and disoriented, andif we let it loose and it become violent, then who knows what could happen. As we both know, apperances can be deciving. Once the creature has been established as freind or foe, then and only then would I suggest the realsing of Shackles. We still don't know how it can speak our language. They may have been monitering us for some time, adn we will not know why until it is questioned. I suggest that if it is questioned, that you do the questioning. You are the figure of authority here, and it may respect that. Now, in the mean time, I must check on Lieutenant Jones. Her episode just then is not a good sign. PTSD may be setting in. I request permission to move her to the Psyche Ward for treatment." he finished, awaiting the Captains desicions on the matters addressed. He may be being slighlty paranoid about the alien, he thought but better safe than sorry. But reguarding Lieutenant Jones, he needed to treat her ASAP. If she flipped out like that during a battle...then Goddess help us.</div></blockquote>
