The Missing

Posted on Wed Aug 23rd, 2023 @ 10:27am by Lieutenant Commander Callie Raven-Grayson

Mission: Damn Dirty Apes
Location: Quarters

Callie stood arms folded staring out of the window into space, having been rescued from the ape infested planet below she’d had to leave Jon behind, something she was finding very hard to accept.

Trying to explain it to Harry had been the harder than she’d expected, and given another five months at the most they’d have two more children to add to their family. The thoughts of how she’d cope if anything happened to Jon ran through her mind more than she wanted it to.

She’d passed medical upon her return, just cuts and bruises from being on the surface, her hair was still wrapped in a towel from where she’d had a refreshing shower to clean off the dirt and grime from the planet below.

Right now she felt like marching to the bridge to get a full report on the rescue operation, but she knew Shran wouldn’t leave anyone behind. She had no doubt he and the rest of the crew were doing everything they could.

She stepped away from the window, unwrapping her hair she hung the towel to dry out then set about brushing her damp hair into its usual tied up, on duty style. She wasn’t going to sit around and wait for an update, she wanted to be on the bridge where she could keep up-to-date on the rescue. She could feel Jon was still alive, their bond would soon tell her if anything drastic happened to him.

Hair done she headed to the wardrobe to get a fresh uniform, it didn’t take long to change though she would soon need to replicate maternity wear as her uniform was starting to get snug around the bump that was starting to show.

She took one last look at herself in the mirror before she headed out of the door into the living room, then out into the corridor. It was time to get back to work.
