"Thank you sir."
"Good, dismissed... Commander Kirk, a moment please."
Joanna responded with a nod.
"Yes sir...." He turned to Kirk, "Commander." As he left, he turned to Lasiter, "Oh and sir...by all that is holy, VanderLoo will be mine." and he left.
Joanna was surprised by the Captain's comment. It was the most animated she had seen him since she had met him that morning. She glanced toward Lastier to get his reaction.

With David now gone, and the room to themselves, Lasiter decided to bring up the difficuly questions. "Please be comfortable Counselor. I am concerned about Captain Boulay. I know that he has suffered greatly, but if he doesn't get back on the horse quickly he may never," the old man said giving Joanna the opportunity to comment freely.
"My intention is not to prevent him from going back to work, Admiral. In fact, I think it is good for him to do so. It will focus his mind on more than his troubles, and it will help him overcome his fears. I just don't
think it would be wise to put him directly back into the same siuation where he was traumatized. Doing so could damage him further than he already is.
By allowing him to work on projects that are in the Sol system he will have the support of family, friends, and officers that he has worked with for years. That is very important for him at this time."
"I quite agree with you. Just so you know that I will need him to be able to go out in the field at some point. That must be our goal... you as his counselor and I as a friend."
Joanna's navy blue eyes looked over the CinC. She gained a new level of respect for him. It was clear that he cared for David, not just as one of his officer's but as a friend. it was good to see a CO who was willing to allow that. "With a team like that supporting him, I don't think David will be out of the field for very long," she said with a smile.
