"I don't have to justify the Captain's command decisions. He was put into his rank for a reason and you should trust that he knows what he's doing. For God's sake, you should trust that I know what I'm doing! If you don't trust my decisions, what the hell are you doing in my military?"
Okay, that wasn't helping. She was already on the edge of kicking Allenby out, despite the fact that she could ill afford to lose anyone right now. "The away team can handle themselves. Some of our best people are down there, and from the last thing I heard we have the Galileeans right where we want them. Provoking hostile action with them now is going to ruin everything - and probably put the away team even more at risk."
Allenby wouldn't have to explain herself - she'd be dead. Trudy would be the one left explaining the situation to the surface, that one of her pilots had gone rogue and she couldn't stop her.
