Pete Gets the Bad News
FA Mitchell
was sitting in Silvius’s office with FA Plif and FA Silvius. They were in Silvius’s office because they
were using the VSD Aggressor for RtF. Â
Pete
opened, “Well now that we have everyone’s ideas in, whose do you think is
best?â€
Plif
replied, “I like General Yoda’s idea.â€
Silvius
replied, “I’m a fan of VA Antiel’sâ€
Pete said, “I’m
with Silvius on this one. The real
test is the execution, though… Alright, well that
wasn’t too bad to choose. I’ll announce the winner of this round now. See you guys soon.â€
“Pete, could
you stay back a second?†Silvius asked.
“Sure,
Silvius. What’s up?â€
“Pete, I’ve
lost it.â€
“Lost what?â€
“I’ve lost
the edge.â€
“No! You’re not turning in your wings, are you?â€
“No,
nothing so drastic. I am resigning as
COO, however.â€Â Silvius slid a piece of
paper across his desk.
Pete picked
up the resignation letter. “I am sorry
to hear that, you’ve been a great help to the fleet these years. In fact, ever since I’ve
been back on active duty. We’ll miss
you.â€Â
“Thank you,
Sir. My resignation will be effective
November 1st. I believe GN
Clark would be the best choice for my successor.â€
“I
agree. GN Clark would make a fine
successor to you. I guess that is the
best we can do, because no one can replace you. I’ll make the arrangements.â€
“Please put
me in Epsilon, Sir.â€
“As
Commander, when GN Clark vacates?â€
“No sir, I
was thinking of Flight 3 Leaderâ€
“Ah, Woody’s
interested in command again?â€
“Yes, Sir.â€
“Well, I guess
this will all work out cleanly at least…Â
Thank you for all your service Fleet Admiral Silvius. It’s been fun.â€
