Shana raised her hand and knocked on the OCS Commandant's door. She knew perfectly well she was standing near the top of her class and hadn't screwed up anything lately, so the summons was a mystery. A voice came from inside, "Come."

Shana marched in and started to report, but it wasn't Major Bellows behind the desk, it was Lieutenant Colonel Paten, and sitting next to her was Sergeant Major Olmeg. Correcting herself with only an instant's hesitation, she snapped out, "Lieutenant Colonel, Cadet Ettranty reports."

Camille looked up at the legionnaire at attention in front of her. OCS apparently agreed with her. Her uniform was its usual immaculate self, with a senior cadet's blue tab in place of her rank badge and a cadet rank brassard on her left sleeve showing a Captain's three pips. She was the designated class leader. Camille now had a good idea why. She also felt slightly sick at what she was about to order. Thank the Lord Above the Sergeant Major was here to take over this triple damned duty. "Cadet Ettranty, I told you once we would look into the matter of your mother. We've done so, but that raised a number of urgent questions that now need to be answered. I'm ordering a full medical and psych examination of you. The results will answer those questions. Legion Sergeant Major Olmeg will take you to the hospital for that examination. After it is over, you will be brought here and all of your questions, including the need for this examination, will be answered. Is that clear?"

It wasn't clear to Shana, and her expression made that plain, but an order was an order. "Aye," she said.

"Move out with the Sergeant Major, Cadet, the doctors are waiting."

"Aye." Shana spun on her heel, waited for the Sergeant Major to heave himself out of his chair then followed him out of the office.
