Decided At A Later Date

[Hidamari]

Davis didn't stir he just stared at mason plainly, looking at his officer behaving as if he were 5 years old in the head teachers office of a infant school. he was surprised the data on his screen and the person stood before him were one in the same.

Davis: "your file here says you have repeatedly requested to remain a lieutenant despite all evidence to what you could easily become. Commander Paige tells me the same thing, you're so capable of becoming so much greater its actually pathetic to see you standing like this, throwing in the towel before you even knew you had a towel to throw. When are you going to man up, man up and stop dwelling in self pity, thinking what you are doing is for the greater good when in fact its another chance for you to put your head in the sand and pretend things are better than they are."

Davis's eyes cut to Lou for a moment and he stood up to attention, his gaze cut back to Mason.

Davis: "You have two options, the easy option, where you remain the same under achieving emotional child you are right now, where you continue to act like it doesnt concern you and you go to jail where you will rot, and have all the time in the world to become as introverted as you like.

or the hard option, where you maintain your freedom and gain some self respect, learn to accept the rank you should have and all the responsibilities that come with it, becoming a better man through effort and hard work, and being able to guide your fellow soldiers Like Sub-Lieutenant Zur to greatness, helping him to better himself, showing him what field leadership should be like, and setting the example that you know others will follow.

Because I know you know, people look up to you Lieutenant, you spent a lot of patrol time with Whitehall, she was one of the worst students in the academy, she became better by learning from you, Zur here, look at him now and tell me he hasn't grown into something better than what he was when he first got here. tell me you don't see it. you cant, and thats your doing, again."

Davis lent forwards and stood up.

Davis: "So what will it be Lieutenant? .."
