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.
"That is reassuring to hear, Counselor. Please let me know if I can be of
further help in his recovery. I would like to help where I can."
"I am sure that what your are doing will be adequate. I am concerned about
the VanDerLoo situation. From what I have heard, Captain Boulay believes
that he purposefully sent him into a death zone. If the system doesn't
punish VanDerLoo for what has happened, than I am worried that Captain
Boulay may take justice into his own hands."
"That is why I called for you. Right now all I have is his report, which amounts to
circumstancial evidence. I wanted to send him back to the area with a full
investigative team to properly investigate and document what's been happening out
there. Having him out there would only help the investigation, but, as you said, he
is not able to go. So, Van Der Loo will wait until I have a team capable of the task.
While I so sympathize with him, if he takes any action on his own, I will have no
choice to put him away."
