"As a member of the Commerce wing of the Government, the Fleet is fully able to requisition you services on an interim, emergency basis, Leiutenant Athena speaks authoritatively.     "Scurry, you've been requisitioned," Monica can't help but to observe.

"I, Uhm," I start to decline.

Monica leans over and whispers in my ear, "Scurry, she is saying that you are expendable."    A sharp look from Athena quiets Monica. But clearly Monica is injoying every moment of these proceedings.

"We would prefer that duty rosters remain as full as possible in this situation," Athena explains, You do have qualities suitable for this mission, so if you fill in, we can maintain maximum personnel levels on board the Galactica."

"Why Me?" I can barely whisper.

Lt Athena explains, all business by now, "We will be transporting the families back through an unsecured zone. The galactica is the best vessel for the task of retreiving the families."

This was all news to me, "Uhm," I kicked the floor, "If space is limited, I would not want to displace any relatives."   "Oh no," the Doctor reassures me, "The relatives will be waiting on the Rising Star, you won't displace anyone at all."

"Scurridae," the Doctor pressed on, "The Medical Staff will be on board the shuttle that carries the families back from the Exchange, and we were wondering if you could be of assistance?"
