“Captain Chuili, Sir, I’m sorry, but, well, I wasn’t sure how to react to this situation. I hope I haven’t acted improperly.”
“So just why did you react this way,” the officer said as he took the file, and began to lower himself back into his seat.
“Well, sir, it just seemed the proper thing to do. I knew that the files had to be surrendered to a person with the proper clearance, and well, I felt this was what I had to do.”
“Did you know if I disagree, I could bring you before a Captain’s Mast?”
“Yes sir, I realized that, but, given the information I had, I felt I did what I had to.”
“So regardless of what I decide to do, you think you would still have done the same again?”
“Yes sir, I think I would.”
Jason watched as the Captain’s grimace was slowly replaced by a partial smile.
