I still had my pressure suit on, and I was about to mention him not wearing his, when my comp chimed with an incoming message, saying the reactor was up to the agreed 50% capacity lock. Good. Having half power would mean the vehicles would charge more slowly and some lights might be dimmer, also things like hairdriers might not work so well, but it was only for a day.<br/><br/>I sent a reply thanking Lena and shrugged. "It's been emotional, Mr Versatile." I glanced around the bare, windowless office. "It's no different to yours, from what I remember. I think the big difference is I have more buttons on my desk...."<br/><br/>I paused as Laura came in, also suitless... "GODDAMNIT DOESN'T ANYONE ON THIS BASE KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW ORDERS?" I roared! "Both of you put your fucking pressure suits back on NOW!"<br/><br/>I flipped the switch that gave me access to the Public address. "Attention all personnell, this is the base commander. As you are all aware, on the previous mission there were six people killed. One of them happened to be very dear to me. The reason for the accident is not important right now. The reason they died is. THEY WERE NOT WEARING THEIR ENVIRONMENT SUITS! The base is NOT secure. If there is a leak in a section and someone opens a hatch to that section, the entire base could decompress.<br/><br/>"You will ALL put your environment suits back on NOW! Anyone found NOT wearing an environment suit in ten minutes time will be arrested and put on a charge!<br/><br/>"That is all".<br/><br/>I glared at the two miscreants. "Well?"
