After his monologue, during which he illuminated the events of the last few days and the near future regarding the LFR, Virginia just sighed and ran her left main hand through her hair. She pulled her eyebrows into a sympathetic expression and shook her head slightly, "Don't tell me this isn't a big deal. Losing a first officer, XO or whatever you call them in here - is never easy for the commander and crew, even when they betray and backstab you. I know this myself - I lost my XO immediately after taking over the ship, and while he didn't betray me - me and my crew're still missing him. It will be no different with your people.".
She paused for a moment and looked at him thoughtfully, but her fatigue from the hangover was evident, and though her face betrayed nothing, her eyes did. Her pause was short and lasted a few seconds before she continued, "You should do everything you can to make sure something like this doesn't happen again...", she held up her left index finger, "... and you should take such precautions on your side as well, be more in touch with your people, involve them more in your thought processes regarding the future. Not just threatening or telling them how to deal with traitors, but also something encouraging. About the future, about your plans, about those who are still loyal to the cause.".
