Work Together

"Are the others awake yet?" I asked the Squadron Leader. "If we're going to have this talk, I only want to go through everything once, time is of the essence here." 

"What do you mean, time is of the essence? The threat has clearly passed," The Squadron Leader replied. 

I shot him a withering look and hoisted my aching body out of its floating bed. I had known from his cowardice during our fight with the hybrid that Belana wasn't the smartest of people in Prespian City, but this was taking his arrogance and idiocy to fresh new levels. All he was doing was cementing the fact that I never wanted to work for him again. 

"The threat hasn't passed in the slightest, if anything, the threat is only just getting started and if you can't see that I might consider taking myself out of the Guard entirely."
