"Shut the door."

Kaminari's delivery was even more deadpan than usual; it immediately raised the hairs on the back of Emma's neck, and around all four horns. The Deuman had nearly been strutting on her way into her commanding officer's office, still high on her show of authority, but now felt more like a mouse, cowering over the doorknob, and fighting the urge to jump as she head the latch click.

"Is everything alri-"

"You have precisely three minutes to explain your actions." The Cast, sounding far more agitated than Emma had ever witnessed, cut in like a dagger. "Do NOT delay."

For a moment, Emma could have sworn she could suddenly see headlights over Kaminari's head. She certainly looked the part as she stammered.

"I... I was trying to defend..."

The dagger slid in deeper.

"You have inflicted more damage in a matter of minutes than I have ever seen in nearly two hundred years of managing covert operations. Because of you, not only will we be forced to cooperate with Internal Affairs, we will likely be forced to disclose a great deal of information that would best remain classified. Clearly, I was mistaken when I chose to entrust you with this position."

Emma might have been in tears, had she not needed the time to allow the gravity of the situation to sink in. She had done what she felt was right; seeing her friends and family threatened, she acted with her means to defend them. Where had she gone wrong? Desperately grasping for a chair, she felt her veins turn to ice, and the world around her began to spin. She thought she might pass out, but hearing Kaminari continue, she found the strength to listen, though she would eventually come to wish otherwise.

"Indeed, the only reason we are speaking in my office, rather than an ARKS brig, is because I have exercised my right, as your commanding officer, to discipline you myself. I am not yet convinced you will be treated fairly by ARKS authorities."

FInally, she could breathe again, the assurance the Kaminari had acted unilaterally feeling like a cool, refreshing breeze, revitalizing her lungs... Only to be ripped out again as if the Cast has opened an airlock behind her.

"However, you are under house arrest until further notice. I do not believe even unpaid leave to be adequate in this case. Once the Internal Affairs agent has finished her investigation, I will assess the impact of your actions, and determine a more appropriate punishment. I am still not dismissing the possibility of turning you over to ARKS authorities. Miss Corsianne will escort you home."
