Who: Jon Randell [open thread] Where: Battlestar Avalon When: Y03 Jan 06
“Sir, we just received a message that Admiral Burk will be delayed. Caprica City’s air traffic control is experiencing technical difficulties,” said the petty officer as she joined the executive officer in the corridor.
“How much of a delay?” asked Jon.
“It might be several hours.”
“That long? What happened?”
“A fire at the main air control center, it’s pretty much creating havoc throughout the colony causing delays everywhere.”
“And his flight is low priority.” He answered his own question before asking. Civilians controlled the air routes in low orbit and below during non-emergencies. Delays were more an inconvenience than a threat to colony security.
“Correct sir. The last thing they want is a mid-air collision.”
“Those silly civilians,” he smirked. “Anything else?”
“Nothing more, sir.”
“Very well, keep me inform if there is any more changes, and notify the rest of the chain of command.” He paused before turning to go down another corridor. “Have the CAG give me a call in my quarters.”
“Yes, sir,” replied the Petty Officer before the XO continued on his way without her.
