The Burning Skull Rises

“Please have a little more respect for my captains. They may be difficult to deal with, especially that young lady over there”, Cristina replied and glanced over to Emilia for a short moment.”But you should know that they’re the reason why this ship is still under my command.” Cristina then added. “In other words, they are the ones that kept me alive.” Markus looked around as if the presence of anyone else except Cristina’s bothered him “Is there a chance we can talk in private? My men are in the hangar, you can only be fair and keep yours out of the room aswell, given the harsh treatment, hmm?” Then he moved towards the helm, looking at the navigator’s screen, there was nothing special about it and he turned his gaze upon the emptiness outside the windows.

“Hmmmm? I think you got a point there…” Cristina said, angering both Emilia and Madison. “Admiral, we can’t leave you alone with him. What if it’s a trap? I thought you didn’t trust them?” Madison yelled at her superior. “Si, she’s right, princesa. You can’t trust him!”
“You two are pissing me off!” Cristina yelled back at them and turned her attention towards the third captain. “Callaham!”
“Yes, ma’am.” He replied and moved closer to Emilia and Madison. “Now, now, ladies...let’s go somewhere else and have a serious discussion.” Callaham then said, pulled them by their hair and dragged them into the elevator. That was, of course, accompanied by loud moaning, as well as numerous death wishes aimed at Callaham. However, it proved to be a successful means to make sure that the Lord Commander could talk to Cristina alone.
