Cindy could tell that Ian's day had not improved when she spoke to him. He agreed with her plan and said she could go ahead with it, but to be prepared to change it if the Council over-ruled him.

Before she returned to her team, she sent a quick message to Jenny about Ian. She was a little surprised when Jenny called her back immediately.

"Yeah, he's not having a good day. Our guests kept him up late. He overslept and was hit with some pretty nasty stuff when he did get to the office. I'm working it out with Alex to make sure he has a very relaxing lunch," Jenny grinned. "Alex said she would try to make sure he didn't work late tonight as well."

"Good luck with that; he seemed pretty stressed after finding out about those Imperial ships. You know he's going to be obsessing over this," Cindy replied.

"We're going to have to make sure that doesn't happen. I'd planned on talking to Beth about keeping a close eye on his health during this. She's already threatened to drug him if starts neglecting himself again."

"I hate to say it, but it might come to that," Cindy replied. "He's damn good at what he does; but he'll let something like this kill him if we don't stop him."

"We'll thanks anyway for the heads-up. Will you be home tonight?" Jenny asked.

"I was planning on talking to all of you about it; it would mean less risk to me and more time at home with you guys and the kids. I just don't know if I'm ready for a desk job yet."

"Yeah, you do like to be active. What would happen to your team if you accept?" Jenny asked.

"Sam or Sasha would be promoted to Major and the team would adopt a new member. We're currently over-strength, but Shannon has always been a temporary addition so a replacement would be needed," Cindy replied. "I love talking to you Jen, but my team is waiting, I gotta go."

"Okay hun. Be safe!" Jenny replied and closed the channel.

When Cindy got back out to her team, she saw that the Lieutenant was huddled with Lissa off to one side. She waved her team together, including the Marines officer and senior sergeant.

"Okay kids… and you too Sergeant O'Dell," Cindy began and winked at the older NCO, who was all of twenty-seven years old. The man grinned back at her. "I had an idea to basically conscript Santiago's militia into a local defense force. The Admiral liked the plan and gave us the green light, but reminded me the civilians haven't approved. So, here's what's happening:

"As planned we capture and bring the prisoners back here.
