Thinking and 6 Hours to sunrise

[EJ Pilot 0]

Pilot sat on the Chimera nodding in and out as he couldn’t sleep. He understood completely what Jami did. She didn’t want to leave Lowren behind. He wouldn’t either. But she lied to the Admiral about the communiqué being filled with static and then had one of his engineering comrades place real static into the message. If Admiral Atragon asked what really happened, he would be obligated to tell him.

 

He would tell him in the interest of Lowren’s life and if we had left her that she might have been found dead if we waited too long. But as we all know disobeying the direct order of a superior officer is numero uno on the “Things you don’t do to tick off your outranking officers”

 

Pilot knew the admiral and commander were married, but this went beyond their marriage. They are husband and wife, but he is also the CO of the USS Manticore. He has been given 400+ lives to protect while they serve on this ship. He just wants to make sure everything is okay and that is why he is issued the return call.

 

Pilot was pretty sure he would have understood the reasoning for staying if it were explained in more convincing way. I just hope he wouldn’t get a reprimand for this. Pilot just hoped Jami knew what she was doing.
