Loose Ends [Closed]

While there wasn't much question in his mind as to what to do with most of the conspirators that he captured, there was one that he honestly wasn't sure what to do with.

Katara. The fourteen year old girl who by all accounts, fell backwards into the situation, attempted to kill the Yeerk along side of Sam and his group, then... gave up.

It put him in a tough position. She was just a kid who made a rash and remarkably stupid decision. Now he had to decide whether she should.

He had wanted to deal with her immediately, but he wasn't in the frame of mind to. He needed to think, but that at least came with one advantage. It would also give her time to think, which is about all she'd be able to do while being held in the brig.

Now that he finally had a chance to rest and clear his head, he decided to have a talk with the girl. He needed to see where her head was at, and what she learned, if anything. Or if she was as lost as Sam was.

He had her moved from her cell into one of the interrogation rooms. He had her wait there for a few minutes, then finally walked in.

"Miss Katara."

She was actually not as nervous as she thought she was going to be. The prospect of meeting with the head of security was not one most would have liked, and Leon was certainly no friend to the kids on board the ship save for Sherry. But Katara had long since stopped feeling fear about what she was going to do. In her eyes, what had mattered that day was making sure something like the Yerrk was no longer a threat. Despite the deception and everything that came along with it, Katara wasn't incensed or even angry she was tricked. She felt she was still doing things for the people on the ship more than herself. Murder, after all, had not been in her heart, and despite the times she had been rutheless before, there had to be an inbetween.

"Leon," Katara said softly. "Thank you for letting me finish what I started in healing the injured on the ship. I guess now you want to know why I did what I did."
