Burden of Rank [OPEN]
Being in command meant having to make the hard decisions.
Trudy knew that, but having to dishonorably discharge a talented pilot like Allenby still crawled under the collar and itched. Her shoulders took on a distinct slump as she walked through the hallways of the ship, mouth set in a hard line, going over the confrontation in her head. Could she have done anything differently?
Probably not. Allenby had been hell-bent on what she was doing and no amount of logic was going to dissuade her from flying down to the planet with just her Gundam and a small crew. Trudy was satisfied that she'd manage to stop her from getting herself and others killed... but the incident was a black mark on Starfighter Command and her ability to control her pilots.
These were the times that she hated her job.
Her boots hit the grass of Hydroponics and she made a beeline for the beer tree. She probably would have had better company at the Drunken Dragon, but company wasn't what she was after. Not right now, not after what had just gone down in the hangar.
Knowing this ship though, company would find her whether she wanted it or not.

Trudy pulled a beer off the tree and handed it to the other woman. "Your department is good at staying on top of this kind of bullshit. Thanks for that."

They barely managed to get by as it was. Granted they were getting better all the time, but incidents like this should be unheard of.
