He had not run all the way from habitat block 1 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=149009.msg7002778#msg7002778), as to do so would be unseemly and might cause panic among the civs, plus he didn't want to be out of breath. Not that there was much chance of that in this gravity. But he did want to appear keen and so he ran the last twenty metres or so. Sergeant Bollam was on duty there and he stood as Painter entered. "As you were, Sergeant. The chief wants me?"<br/><br/>T-Rex nodded. The two men had a lot of respect for each other and understood each other well. Neither of them was totally convinced of the Major's ability to do the job, but she was the one the brass had picked, so she was the one they took orders from. "She's in her office. You're to go right in, sir".<br/><br/>Painter nodded, returned the man's salute and headed the few yards up the coridor, tapped politely on the door and entered. "Lieutenant Painter, reporting as ordered, Ma'am?"<br/><br/>Painter couldn't prevent a smile. The martian camo gear looked good on the petite Major, but all Devlin wanted to do was put her over his knee... He blinked a few times to clear the impossibly erotic image away. She and the colonel had something going, anyway, and it would be bad form to get mixed up in that!
