It was clear that this trip was going to be extremely >difficult for him. >Joanna reached across and placed a hand on David's hand. "There is no >reason to apologize, David.

Just remember that Admiral Jackson and myself are here for >support as well as to make sure we all get to the root of what happened." David looked up at the touch and smiled a touch, "The doc knows best." He blushed slightly but it brought some of his vigor back Jared was pleased to see that the Counselor was able to calm the good
Captain. He also had to question whether David should be on active
duty. While there was no question that he should experience some concerns
about their current assignments, the speed to which he had fallen apart
indicated that he definitely needed more help with his emotional state.
Hopefully, he would be able to keep a handle on things during the mission.
"Would you prefer it if we worked on other people before interviewing
VanDerLoo?"
