Erik waved a hand at him. "Yeah yeah I know, Trevale already put in a call about it. Of course slow a** SF can't get thier act together, seeing as you've brought what I requested fifteen minutes ago." Why didn't he go get them himself? Well James coudl cleary see that Erik was bogged down with keeping law and order...with the main power still low he was being foreced into hyper mode to meet with demands of worried ships. They should of just tied him to his desk. "Thanks James, is Trevy alright?"

"she's fine. but I'd say lets try if you have the equipment to find out what is on this thing."
Tapping the broken laptop...and then over to the intercom.
"To All FS personel. You have thirty minutes to finish you assigned tasks and report back to FS HQ. those that do not report back with thier assignments done will be sent to doctor Fien for a complete mental examination. That is all."
Then james sat back in the seat across from Erik.
"Now the waiting game."

"You know...you better hope Fein doens't take that wrong. She's a busy woman you know. Though knowing her...she would enjoy screwing with there heads very much." Taking out his communicator he set it to its speaker setting and punched in an ID code. He wanted to hear from Jelena herself. Three beep signaled a connection. "Trevy?"
There was a sniffle from teh communicar before a few sounds of movement and then her voice. "Erik?"
"You okay, you sound like you've been crying?"
"No...no, I'm fine. Just have a bad headache is all. What do you need?"
"I just wanted to check on you since you made a report to FS, James took care of the backend of it."
Oh great, James knew something wasn't as it should be now. "Like I said, I'm fine."
Promptly the sound of a connection being terminated. "I hate it when she hangs up on me like that." Shaking his head he turned his attention to James...and a few FS officers that were already coming back with their reports and the like. A look over at the datapad. "I'll take a look at that see if I can get into what was being stored on it."

"I think she'd enjoy getting to mess with them."
But he listened to Jelena, and shook his head lightly.
"She's been cryign about something. probably the near loss of her beloved Tempest, I imagine?""
Though his face got that one hundred percent military pissed off-about-to-rip someone-a-new-a** as members of FS started to come into the area. Someone was definatly going to get it.

"You haven't know this woman as long as I have. She cries about very few things. Almost loosing Tempest wouldn't make her cry, loosing him maybe but not almost loosing him. It's something else." He seemed to have an appifany and checked his watch which doubled as his fleet condition, and date reports. Oh well that made sense why she wasn't too happy. Especially if left alone to think too much.
Erik had to keep from chuckling though at the look James got at FS. They really were a haphazard bunch when they felt they could get slack...despite how hard Erik tried to make them into a well functioning team. Lazy he assumed. "Guess what men...you all get to go back to training." Oh let James have his fun if he wanted it.

James got up, and walked over to them.
"I want you to stand in three rows. I want you standing at attention. and I know you know what that is, so I want it done, and now. you have thirty seconds."
James was standing at full height, head held up, eyes glaring, hands placed lightly at his lowerback. complete military behavior.
"I said ATTENTION! that means NOW people!"

Needless to say they scarambled to do what they were told and do it perfectly. They may not be considered military but thier training was loosely military based so they did indeed know what was expected of them. And they knew to do it without messing around too...no one liked James Moira on thier case.
"See what happens when you play around and don't listen to me? I have to get someoen in here to scare you."

"As of today, Jelena Trevale was assaulted by a tech that was apparently trying to sell or smuggle one of the echoes off of the fleet. Not only did no one do thier assigned job and watch her as they were instructed to under these conditions, but after she in essence, rescued herself and bound her captor, NONE of you did as you were told and brought this man here with any potential evidence. I did, after I decided to find out what was going on and why Jelena was holding an icepack to her head."
He was pacing now, though keeping one eye on them at all times.
"This is UNACCEPTABLE. DO you understand? If this were run as a military operation ALL of you would be charged for Negligence under my watch. As it is, you are not under my direct control. However, I AM going to make DAMN SURE you are doing as you are TRAINED to be doing."
he stopped and turned to them, looking from one to another.
"This is NOT a pleasure cruise for you. This is NOT a 'easy job' that you don't have to pay attention to. As of RIGHT NOW, if I hear a rumor about one of you even looking like you are not doing your job, I will replace you. I don't care if an entire new team of FS has to be trained. Do you understand me?"

As fate commands...there's always one idiot in the group. "BUt sir...you said that Doctor Trevale was under your watch and the rest of us weren't." His buddies cringed and attempted to scoot away from him some without angering the already yelling James Moira who was causing unease among the group.

Okay, Idiot number one had a point.
"That is correct. I told you that Trevale was under my watch at that time. However, that does not mean that you completely ignore the fact that she was assaulted when your commanding officer tells you to bring the one who assaulted her to him. and it was not like you had to look for him. he was unconcious and bound in the hallway."
And he walked over, grabbing said idiot and dragging him out in front of the group, and turning him to look at the unconcious tech.
"Does this man look like he could have hidden or gotten away from you? Does it look like he was a hassle to get? No. that is what I am upset about. your refusal..ALL of you...to obey a very simple command becuase it apparently inconvienced you. Not that you were not watching Trevale, as I told you she was under my watch."
Turning him back aroudn to face his fellows.
"And this is not the first time I have had to get on your collective a** to get things done like they need to be done. You're slacking and lack of care coudl have cost us a lot of grief and damage. How many of you woudl have actually enforced the recent order that NO ONE leaves this fleet without myself, Erik, or Jelena's approval? I doubt any of you would have. Which means had Jelena not in her last moments of conciousness or before she was knocked out taken care of it, there could very well been a tech with an echo heading to earth right now."
Then jerking the one he had aroudn to look at him.
"Now then, any other smartass complaints and or remarks? IF so, I suggest you speak now."
Go ahead. say something you little pissant. that was the glare that James was giving him, the I dare you to say something look.

He thought he had just said a good thing. Of course happy thoughts in front of James Moira were fleeting as he took to turning him back and forth and continuing his yelling spree and basically calling them bad at their jobs. "Um...we're understaffed?" Which was true yet not at the same time. Their personel number rounded out to a nice five hundred, meaning only one hundred FS for each cruiser, in which each cruiser accomidated at least five thousand a ship...they could hold a good ten thousand each.
Hm, maybe he should step in for a moment? "Fleet capitalizes on the extrenal defenses and automated securities rather than man power..." Just to explain the 'understaffed' part.

James picked the poor man up by his shirt, and held him at his eye level with his bioware hand.
"A SEAL team consisting of six men, properly trained, can undermine, out maneuver, and for most purposed defeat and or decimate a force of several hundred or more. it's not manpower. it's training."
And looking at the others.
"And sense you want to apparently use that as an excuse, then I guess I'll just have to train you better, won't I. Alright then. tomorrow, 0700, you are to meet in from of holosweet seven for training. SEAL style."

Well they all looked like someone had jsut killed thier puppies right in front of them then threw them on the girl and served up puppy steaks. Though they didn't grumble or anything.
Erik thought it amusing. His personel was divided...about half of them did thier job and then you had the slackers...who were now in James claws. Though he noticed they were looking to him...he was thier commander and they wanted him to cancel out James/ orders.
"You know what? I think some extra training would do you good." Oh yeah, it was amusing.

And of course, 0700, all of FS was in holosweet seven, and were in teams of six. gunfire blared, explosions, while he had them running under fire, crawling on their bellies under barbwire, carring treetrunks on thier shoulders during six mile runs. All under James' supervision, dressed in his military uniform.
"MOVE! I want you making this run in no less than twenty minutes! any of you slackasses disrespect my field by not following these orders, I will personally give you something to really worry about!"
And out came the plasma cannon, firing at thier respective feet.
"I said MOVE!"

The weeks had creeped by...slowly as they may...and it was frustrating. her weeks had been occupied with her projects, letting James in on the development of his little cerberus project, creating new dna splices. Anything to keep her occupied. Though...for the last week she hadn't stepped foot in her labs, hadn't looked at a single project paper. HAd more or less shut herself in her room and wouldn't see anyone. Not to mention she had a Board meeting in two days.
Now she was sitting on her bed, despondant to everything again. At least power was fully back...that was good right? Normal lighting? Gravity? She supposed that was something. But her mind was wandering places it shouldn't be. Her room was messier than normal, she hadn't done laundry in a week and a half and was running out of clothes...and there was evidnce of comfort foods women usually indulged in about the room. She hadn't even gotten dressed today, staying in an oversided shirt and a pair of sweat pants. Hair was a mess, OODDS on teh bedside table, still only half repaired.
