Entry-- Major Sykes had come to me to ask for me to hold a civilian ship, Sting, that might be useful in the first phase of the salvage operation. The structure and design of the ship has likely evasion abilities, and a low EM signature. I ordered it to be held with the option to charter the ship and its pilot for use in the mission. Till a final decision is made, the ship is held in hanger 13.
Entry-- Incident involving the civilian ship, Sting, in hanger 13. Initial reports called up to CIC from the hanger deck reported a heated argument between Major Simmons and Miss Jereldsen regarding the initial briefing. No physical violence. Miss Jereldsen and the Major were clearly showing unprofessional decorum. After speaking personally with Captain Dennison who witnessed the argument, I ordered the Sting and pilot released. The benefit of using Sting in doubt.
As no physical assault was committed or complaint yet filed, there is no urgency for an investigation in the matter. I want all my crew concentrating on the preparations for the salvage operation. A civil investigation at this time would only be a distraction. I have asked Major Simmons to see me regarding her action, and plan to put her on report.
