A few quiet questions

Hale, Robinson and the young zoner girl stepped onto the platform and the carriage moved off.
[color=#33FFFF]"Only a little distance from here, I thought Greenson's office would do, given she's away on duty..."

"Green...Son? Who is that?"
"Someone you don't know."
Concordia smiled "He's cute?"
Hale sighed..."Commander Jasmine Greenson, she's a good officer... After you Commodore."
"Oh? That's a girl? She's cute?"
"That should be the least of your concerns." snapped the Commodore, impatiently.

David started moving towards a elevator and hit the button on the wall panel beside it.
"I don't really think that's an appropriate question to answer right now Miss Concordia... And less appropriate to ask..."
"Hmmmm... You think?" She pondered this absently.
"We know. But aside from that, we should be nearly there."

Hale glanced at Christina and shrugged before following her towards an office on the fourth floor of the building. Concordia lagged behind a little, looking around absent-mindedly as they reached the door to Jasmine Greenson's office. Hale punched in the access code and the door unlocked with a soft click. he pushed it open and stepped inside.

"Mm, this is cozy. Gives me a few ideas for..."
"Whooo! It's nice here!" Concordia stood in the middle of the room dancing a little, humming a tune, seemingly oblivious of the two member of the Navy's admiralty watching her with mild confusion.
"Be still!"
Concordia stopped, mid dance and looked around.
"We're not here for fun and games." said Christina, her voice slightly softer.
"Please take a seat." Hale pointed to the two chairs infront of the desk and sits down on a third behind it, putting his makeshift stick on top of the table.

"Hmmm" Concordia sat down on the chair David had indicated and looked at the both of them quizically. "You are so serious... What's wrong?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
"It's quite a serious situation, miss... Which explains why we're both so serious about it."
Concordia nodded. "Okay okay. Sorry!"

Christina took a chair and dragged it a little distance from the others before sitting down.
"Sorry? Hmph, like that's good enough." she muttered under her breath.

"A few days ago, I got a report from an officer under my command about a zoner sabre flying around in zone 21... Your sabre."
Hale sighed.
"Now... Zone 21 is a very dangerous place, and we don't let anyone who doesn't have permission to fly around in there, or fly through the jumpgate which is in the middle of it..."
Concordia looked at David, then to Christina, a look of puzzlement on her face.
"Zone 21?"
"The big minefield near Norfolk shipyard. Very dangerous place..."
"Yes, that."
"Rmmmm.... So you want me to tell you what happened?"
"I think you telling us exactly what happened would be a good start."
"Okay"

Hale leant forwards, his arms resting on the desk as he listened, casting a brief glance over to where Christina sat and waited for the story to unfold.
