⤷ ✧ @cptnpike said, ❝ i’m asking you   why   you did that, &   you know it. ❞

she's been here before, a growing tally of instances now so long she could not consciously recall them all even if she wished to. having given up the ghost of asking permission nearly a decade past, una has become far too familiar with every variation of what the hell were you thinking? imaginable.

at least pike's is comparatively civil, though she bristles regardless. aside from a terseness in her voice, una refuses to let that bristling show. ❛ it remedied the situation before it could escalate. ❜ matter of fact, obvious. as though he should not even need to ask. what else would she have done?

despite her tone, una knows better, knows the several regulations she skirted the boundaries of, knows that, even as first officer, this was not a plan she ought to have put into action without a captain's authorization.
