Laying out on her belly, Mira looked through the old-fashioned binoculars. Vaytoc was laying next to her. "So fur ball, you feel any bad guys near us?"
Vaytoc just nudged her with his head. She took that as a no.

She had lost track of Kevin and his party as they went in. As soon as Ensign Geneva Thorne came closer, Vaytoc raised his head in the direction she was crawling up to them.

Thorne had a frown on her face. "Go ahead and speak your mind. Ensign Thorne.

"Thank you, Captain." The woman was gathering her thoughts. "Why did you let them cut us out of going in?"

Mira raised an eyebrow, glanced over at her, and then put the binoculars back up to her eyes. "This, right now, is a trial period for us all. It's full of adjustments. Kevin is my XO. It's his job to insure my safety as the ships captain. It's my job to protect the ship."

Thorne frowned. "We are every bit as good as they are!"

Mira chuckled, "I had a talk with him. I don't want to push down years of training to play a game with these people. Since I don't have to, I choose not to be under the restrictions that apply to the woman here." Mira rolled to her back. Handing the binoculars to frowned. Since she was here, Mira might as well rest her eyes for a few. "Keep watch."

Mira had a lot on her plate with the new symbiont, the command position, this darn gene therapy, and this mission. The least of her worries is if she needed to play some simpering female to smooth some jerks ego.

"If they get caught, I wanted my strongest woman with me to get them out. Pure and swatch, Ensign. These men wouldn't know what to do with a few of us and Kronnelti going after all of them." Mira smiled. She just hoped Kevin was as good as he thought he was.

"movement," Thorne told her.

Rolling over, she took the binoculars. "New shipment of goods? He should take care of his own people. Not hurt the surrounding camps." Mira hissed. "How is the whole planet going to get back on it's feet."

Mira shook her head. "Our camp is well hidden, right?

Thorne nodded. "Yeah, Commander Lance made sure, and Kronnelti and K'ner double-checked."

Mira nodded. Honestly, she was used to doing everything herself. This relying on others was hard. How did Captain Intermeezo do this?
