It didn't burn at him, there was no point in the security chief being outranked by any other officers but the CO. But he couldn't help worry about how proffessional her and the CO might be if someone claimed something like arrested on false charges. This was still a civilian mission, and a romantically involved CO and security chief could quickly turn the place into a military dictatorship if they were so inclined. Still, he smiled to her, slapping her on the back. "At the rate you're going you should be a 3-star general by bed-time." He said with a friendly laugh.<br/><br/>"I checked every box in off the shuttle, someone's pilfered the equipment out of it."He had been playing with a computer screen throughout the conversation, and handed it to professor Gadi. "Better still... Some of the satellites in polar orbit seem to have functioning lazer arrays for topography... Think you could jury rig that into something workable?"It wouldn't replace half the stuff that was missing, but atleast he would get his lasers back. "I agree with you Laura, we could probably strip half of what we needed off the probes around her, there must be nearly a hundred within a buggy's ride away."
