Not possible? "Well," Matt said, stumbling a bit, "I really dont' have a second choice. May I ask why Carrhae's company on this is not possible?" he asked.
Lasiter paused a moment before answering as if considering something, which he was. Considering whether or not to answer the question completely. Middle of the road.....
"Admiral t'Llhweiir has been ordered confined to her quarters at Starfleet headquarters when not on duty, effective tomorrow evening as part of an administrative punishment.", he said breaking a momentary pause in the conversation.
"I see." Matthew looked away a moment and stroked his lip as he thought that, and his response, through.
Confined to quarters. He should have asked her to be more careful. But then, she had the ability to be more careful. Why she hadn't was a question he was still trying to decide the answer to.
Trying to intercede on her behalf would be disempowering, and he would not do that. She would want to accept her punishement and be done with it. And he respected Sam's authority too much to try and intervene there anyway.
Which left him with.... well, first, wishing he could be confined to quarters with her. But he had already accepted this assignment, and to not take it now would be, well, wrong. Carrhae would be the first to tell him that.
He looked back to Sam. "Who would you recommend?" he asked simply.
