After all that they still didnâ€™t really know what the hell was going on and it really angered Kat to know end that it had seemingly ended so quickly. She narrowed her eyes, looking at the ground hard, her curiosity threatening to get the better of her but she knew better. Once the captain left the room and she noticed the blood on his uniform she could piece together that their conversation hadnâ€™t gone well for Thomas. Serves that snake right, she thought to herself, knowing that at the same time that this situation was far from over. There was no way it could have been that easy, she could not shake the feeling that they were all missing something. Thomas said he worked alone but somehow she was not all that convinced. Or perhaps she was only having these thought because things have not died down yet. It was far too soon to say for sure, though. Now all she had to do was get through this punishment; she could either be stripped of her rank or be kicked out from the sounds of things.<br/><br/>She assumed the latter, or perhaps both, maybe she would be given a dishonorable discharge in worse case scenario. It may have been silly to think of that but considering the fact that this situation was pretty severe the captain might not take any kind of antics lightly no matter what they were. Judging from the tone he used and the look on his face, she assumed that much anyway, continuing have so many thoughts flooding her mind as she looked to Eric after he spoke. She was about to agree with him  and leave before they got into any more trouble when the escorts came over and spoke to them. If they were getting escorted to their room then she knew that this situation was damn serious and that their punishment was not going to be light.<br/><br/>â€œI know the procedure,â€ Kat told the escorts bitterly. The last time she had been escorted to the captainâ€™s office was when she was kicked out of Gendahl fleetâ€¦  Not a fun experience. Needless to say she was not very optimistic at the moment. Not in the slightest. She was quiet during the entre walk back to her room.<br/><br/>After she arrived at her room she immediately cleaned up and changed into the appropriate attire, looking at herself in the full-length mirror just outside the bathroom area of the room with a sigh. She really did look a mess; it was written all over her expression. It was bad enough she was still getting over the death of an old friend, even if she knew for a fact she was probably crazy for mourning, now she had to deal with possibly losing the greatest partner sheâ€™s ever had as well as her job and she still knew nothing about what was going on. It was frustrating, she knew it was going to happen eventually since they both knew they were going to get in a hell of a lot of trouble, but it was still frustrating. On top of her curiosity the anticipation was driving her up a wall and she sat on her bed to calm down for the remainder of the allotted time. She took a few deep breaths, knowing full well that she needed to be calm while standing before the captain.<br/><br/>Or else run the risk of getting into more trouble, if that was even possible at this point.<br/><br/>When it came time for them to face their punishment she grabbed her service weapon and pin in case she was told to turn them in, before she left the room. Kat also packed away a few things just in case she was indeed about to be kicked off immediately. While she was escorted she stood straighter than usual. There was a look on her face that told anyone looking at her that she knew what was coming and that she was ready for almost anything. Serious as always. Never did she expect to be in this position but was it odd that she had no regrets? She would sneak around with Eric again if given the chance to do so a second or maybe even a third time. There was no denying that in the end being able to sneak around like she did in high school was fun.
