Mission: A Spot To Kill
Location: Various locations

Teá was back on the Vindi now pissed; pissed that she let her attitude and stubbornness to get in the way of her progress, letting down Sean and Pond knowing for a fact this would get back to Pond. "Fuck!" She yelled once she got into her quarters closing her eyes she took several deep breaths, "okay okay.....I can fix this." She said as she absentmindedly took her dress whites out and started getting undressed. "Fuck all I had to do was play fucking nice and I couldn't even do that for more than a damn day."

Throwing her boot across the room seeing her hands shaking as she looked at her chronometer as she finished getting her dress whites. She rushed out of her quarters and made it to the transporter with 10 minuets left. "Commander," she said slightly out of breath, "my apology for my behavior this morning."

James was there waiting for her, surprisingly in his dress whites. "Ensign Black. ATTENTION!" James barked. He stood infront of Teá eyeing her from top to bottom. Walking around behind her inspecting and moving back to face her. "I'm glad you realize that you behavior this morning was abhorrent and unbecomming a Starfleet officer. Especially one holding the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade." James reaches up, and removes the hollow pip from Teá's collar. "When you decide that you can play nice and play by my rules, you can have this back. Now, not only have you lost your civillian clothes privelages, for the duration of this mission, from 0500 to 1500 every day, you will be in your dress whites stading guard outside the Commodore's quarters here on the planet." James handed her a PADD, "This is the list of persons who have unrestricted access to her quarters. Anyone else needs to be cleared through me. Understood?"

"Aye aye sir." Teá said fighting against every single urge in her body to not spat something childish back. Taking the PaDD she looked it over committing the names to memory and handing it back to him. "Eidetic memory." She said looking at the commander.

"I hope you learn from this," James said as he paced back and forth. "To be a good at what we do, we cannot be blinded by greed or anger. We have to work together and trust, as a team, in order to survive, and if I cannot trust you, then you are no good to me."

"Wish the people who gave me my orders had that sentiment." Teá said quietly.

"You are what is called a leadership challenge and lucky for you, I like challenges." James, spun turning his back to Teá, "In the mean time, you are dismissed to your duties. We will discuss this further after we're done with this place."

"Aye aye......" Teá said pulling on her collar very very much regretting everything that she had done. Shaking her head she headed for the commodore's quarters once there she stood guard eyes darting back and forth keeping a close eye on things.

James sighed as he walked back to his table, grabbed his tea and took a drink. "Kids."
