"Nice try, Andromias," one of the troopers barked. "The Captain said you're confined to quarters until after Cymoon I. Unless she tells me otherwise, I don't want to see you outside your room."<br/><br/>As they marched passed, a woman in engineer's coveralls glanced up from her coveralls, watching with a curious expression. The<em>Caveat</em>had under two-dozen regular crew, so Kader knew her at least by name: Shipman Mia Ackermann. She frowned, adjusting a large pair of spectacles with a holographic readout projected onto one lens, before turning back to the panel she was examining.<br/><br/>A minute later, one of the guards opened the door to Kader's quarters, waving him inside. "Alright. If you need to use the 'fresher you ask one of us. Meals will be brought down to you. Keep your head down and there won't be any further trouble." With that, they closed the door and took up their post on either side.<br/><br/>Roughly fifteen minutes later, the door opened, and Shipman Ackermann stepped inside, thanking the guards as she passed.<br/><br/>"So, scuttlebutt says you really pissed off the Captain this time," she said. "Glad someone had the balls to say it around here. Don't get me wrong, it was still stupid, but the rest of us are going to be laughing about that behind her back all the way to Cymoon I."
