=/\= Bridge =/\= Athena had remained quietly worrying about the lack of concentration of the general as she listened to him talk with Shane. At some point in her listening she became only aware that the pair was still talking because she heard them murmuring, but her attention was focused on MCpt. Harker and LtCmdr. Palmer. {I wonder how much information they are still keeping to themselves.} Athena was brought slightly out of her thoughts by Shane's departure and fully from them by the General announcing that she had the Bridge. {Oh my God, He's insane} made a quick and brief trip through Athena's head. When Rangi appeared on the bridge, Athena directed her where Keylor was and that Shane was somewhere about the ship. Athena watched the doctor disappear through the door to attend to the General and she flashed a few polite smiles when those working quietly at their stations looked up at her. She could sense their uneasiness with her being left in charge and in some cases their disbelief. She was reading through a few of the reports mostly continuing to allow everyone to do their job. While she was doing this Rangi had come back in and was doing some reading of her own. Athena decided to check on how Lt. Foster numerous tasks were coming along. As Athena listened to Andersen's reply she felt the anger growing in the woman sitting beside her. Athena could certainly sympathize with Andersen's fatigue; she felt it herself. The violence associated with the anger she sensed from Rangi was getting harder to ignore. Rangi's harsh request to inform Shane of the General movements was the only outward indication of the rage that Athena now felt almost pouring from the other women. It wasn't hard to know where the anger was directed given the direction Rangi had been looking. Athena watched as Lt. Foster, The CMO and their escort left. +taps+ Lt. Wellington to Cmdr. Guzman. Be advised that the General has gone to the Chimera. For further Information Please Speak with The CMO. +taps+ AS Athena scanned the room several people turned back to what they were doing except MCpt. Harker who looked at Athena with doubt. Athena met his gaze coolly and levelly until the Marine returned to the task he was working on with Samantha. {So far so Good} Athena thought as she took a deep breath. She sat staring at the screen fro a few more moments when a flash of light caught her eye. She noticed the quick flash again and asked, "Can anyone tell what that is," as she pointed to the occasionally quick flash on the view screen. "Cadet, what is the General's Progress on the Chimera?" Athena had no idea why she asked the question, but she did have a terrible feeling of foreboding that seemed to be sitting on her chest just waiting for her ribcage to crumble under its enormous weight. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt.
