Not a word to anyone. If you would meet me in my office once you’ve delivered the lieutenant to her quarters, we can wrap this up quickly and hopefully quietly.”<br/><br/>He wasn’t goi g to mention how far out he was sticking his neck. C’Tara should have been aware. There was more to being in command than just following orders. Occasionally people screwed up and you had to deal with the consequences. Part of that meant protecting them from themselves. C’Tara would be punished for her foolishness. That pu is mentioned was potentially out of his hands but if his report included whatever disciplinary actions he’d taken, perhaps the first officer would see his actions as sufficient and the matter would end there.<br/><br/>The question would be whether there was a permanent mark on C’Tara’s record or not.
