Even with all the joking and flirting, it only gave him a slight, momentary distraction from his thoughts, but not enough of one to forget that this could not end well.  Though the mention of Neymi and the chains, he couldn’t help but chuckle a little.  If the soldiers tried, Darion was sure they would be the ones ending up in the chains, not them like they were probably thinking.  none of them were tough enough to even have a chance… he was confident he was likely to not end up in the chains himself.<br/><br/>Though Darion wasn’t able to make his own comment about that to the soldiers.  The captain actually spoke up and started to mention their charges.  Unfortunately, everything he said proved his apprehension was completely correct.  Treason, willful destruction, and unauthorized mission?  The second one he couldn’t argue… they had destroyed the ship.  The third he was going to have a little ‘chat’ with their employer.  Including a pistol, and a knife.<br/><br/>But the first… How they hell could what they had just done be considered treason?  Saving a half-breed Zax/Camarian queen from being a breeding slave to the tentacle freaks?  When they couldn’t legally send military forces themselves?  They should be thanking him and his team…  Darion wasn’t even bothering to shield his thoughts from any psychics in the area.  Why should he, from his view the only thing they were guilty of was the second charge.  It should be Klax guilty of the others.<br/><br/>And he knew at least one psychic, if she was actually scanning people, would sense his thoughts as soon as she and the team of active duty marines came into sight.  Two humans, one woman and one man, a Goz male, and a Camarian female.  The Camarian seemed to be sticking close to the male Goz, and even Darion could see his attention on Neymi, and Kes.  Well, the Camarian had his attention for a moment, imagining what she looked outside the armor she wore.  Then the human woman in her uniform, he could see the single ‘butter bar’ on her lapels.  He immediately labeled her here as green by her age and that single copper bar for her rank.  At least the large man was a Master Sergeant, he should be able to keep a green officer alive.<br/><br/>If only this situation wasn’t so bad, he would pay the group more attention, and imagine them more than just naked once before he looked away, back to his team.  Not even imagining the Camarian naked took the dark look from his face at the news of their charges.  The look on his face was mostly filled with anger at this whole situation.<span style="color: green">“I would love to know why treason is part of our charges… even if someone is going to make sure we only hand over all our promised reward.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
