Kol nodded, patting Kiri on the shoulder. "Thank you for being honest with me. I'll write up your transfer into the position of Ship's adjutant. You will take direct orders from me, Rear Admiral Mckeon, and Captain Fielding, and I expect oyu will use your best judgment in carrying them out."<br/><br/>He smiled, gently taking her tiny right hand in his own, as he almost-felt her mind working to rationalize her decision to throw her lot in with the TEC. "Now, get dressed, and head down to Medical so Doctor Miller can remove the object I found. Doctor-patient confidentiality will prevent her from telling anyone else, so you can talk to her as much as you want."<br/><br/>He smiled, then stood up, gently pulling Kiri upright. "Your Quarters will be a few doors down from mine. I assume you'll want to transfer your gear to the room yourself. As for me, well... I think I'll go walk about the ship."<br/><br/>With that, he unlocked his room's door, and stepped outside, wearing his pants, his light shirt, and his old marine-issue combat boots, cutting an impressive figure even without his customary rank insignia as he walked to one of the hallways that ran the length of the warship, heading aft, towards engineering.
