SPD: David/dinnertime

[Pete Boulay]

>"Captain, I am glad to hear that you have changed your mind. Perhaps after
>a good meal and a good night's sleep you will be able to remember properly.
>We can begin the debriefing process more formally in the morning. However,
>if you could answer one question that may help out. What were you doing out
>there? That has been plaguing me since I heard of your disappearance." Van
>Der Loo was very sincere in his tone of voice, and manners. The other
>officers seemed to welcome him as well, genuinely. However, that only
>served to heighten David's suspicions. Afterall it was just that morning
>that the Admiral was so hard pressed to get him bebriefed and sequestered.
>Perhaps it was honestly nothing, or perhaps it was the everything. Only
>time would tell.

>"I was not given a great deal of direction...he wanted a status report on
>the situation...along with any general concerns I had from a legal
>standpoint. I don't question Admiral Lasiter sir."

>"Perhaps I asked the wrong question. Why were you out in the field with
>those particular Marines?"

"In walking around to do some observations I noticed some strange behavior...a group of farmers were huddled and then bolted into the forest and I remembered what I was told about some past rebel activity so I simply notified the Company CO. Then I requested permission to join them and was granted permission."
