#one of many future fics will be how she acts immediately after ferrix when she gets back to work

[air-mechanical]

The shortest fic I can write these days still tops 2k words. But I had to get this scenario out, and I'm happy I finished it relatively quickly and didn't commit myself to an epic. That can be for another time. Summary

In the immediate aftermath of the debacle on Ferrix, Yularen demands answers and actions from the officer in charge of the failure who was in charge of the failure. 

Partagaz isn’t going to throw Dedra under the bus. He’s not going to go scorched earth on Ferrix. He’s absolutely not going to tell his boss all the ways in which he’s wrong.

He’s going to stand calmly. He’s going to accept the miserable reality that his headache is becoming a migraine. He’s going to hope that Yularen doesn’t smash everything on his desk. 

And after these hopes are vented, he’s going to take action. 

He’s going to neutralise the poison leaking out of Ferrix without a drop of blood being spilled.
