Return of the Bastet

[ophidian]

Soon after the meeting, Commander Staite received a comm message. She was still excited of the news and when she saw who was on the comm, her heart almost failed.

- "Ye..yes Admiral? How can I be of service?"
- "Congratulations with your promotion Commander." Seith was as emotionless as usual. His voice didn't hint anything.

- " I just wanted to remind you of your duties near to my applause. I don't want the same things happening with you as it happened with Kimura. Remember your responsibilities and the restrictions your rank gives. Good day Commander. Duty calls. I am expecting to see outperforming reports of you and your crew ASAP. Seith out."

Kaylee couldn't even say a thank you or give some kind of an assurance by words before Seith left the comms.

There was a rumor about the Bastet not being taken in because Seith didn't want it to happen. There was always a greater scheme at work and Kaylee didn't want her career to be covered in dirt by being part of a scheme. She would perform her duties at its best.
