<div class="floatright">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/mw-nmfkmpkarimonero_zps55a1bf27.jpg)</div><strong>Kari Moreno</strong><br/><strong>In an office, on the airfield</strong><br/><strong>Tagged: Allia, Moshe </strong><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Santa Prisca Desert, Librios<br/>Deneb Algedi, Benjamin District<br/>Draconis Combine<br/>1 January 3145</strong><br/><br/>Moshe was in trouble. Kari knew it, and she was pretty sure he knew it as well. Furthermore, with what had happened, she was pretty sure that everyone on the ground knew it, and news would spread pretty fast in the unit. None of that made what she had to say any easier, but at the very least, the office offered him, her and Allia a hint of privacy.<br/><br/>“I’m not going to mess about here,” She began, her tone strict but controlled. “What you did out there was unacceptable, Moshe. You laid into those tanks after the Crushers had surrendered, and didn’t give them a chance to surrender themselves. It looks like we used a flag of surrender to ambush our opponents, something that gives us a bad rep, no matter what. Anyone who hears about this is going to reconsider hiring us, and anyone we fight is not going to want to surrender or risk a withdrawal, thinking that we’re going to just gun them down. You ripped up a MechWarrior who had bailed out… there’s no excuse for that, and you know it.”<br/><br/>“And then you threw up,” She continued. “I’m praying to god that was because you were sickened by your own actions, because that’s how I felt too. You were way over the line there, and I should fire you on the spot. I know a lot of commanders who would.”<br/><br/>“But-“ Kari let the word hang in the air. “My father hired you, and he had faith in you, Moshe. You’re actually a good MechWarrior, and you have a good ‘Mech too. This is your first, grade A-1 screwup on my watch, so a part of me wants to be lenient on you, in spite of the damage you might have done.”<br/><br/>She nodded to Allia. “I had been considering reshuffling the command, putting you in Strike Lance. With Angeline opting out at a moment’s notice, I also have a spot in the command lance, but frankly, that’s not going to suit your ‘Mech nearly as well. However, at the same time, I’m not going to force you on Allia if she doesn’t want to take you after today.”<br/><br/>Kari walked over to the female lieutenant. “Just because I’m the boss doesn’t mean I’m a total tyrant. The transfer to the Strike Lance is still on the table, but only if you want him. Keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn’t run off and pull any crap like he just did, and see if he’s worth keeping. However, if you don’t want him – and I can understand fully – then I’ll take him.”<br/>
