Ogreon spoke up again, "Same way you got here, and the same way Catie will go too."
Catie looked at him, "Huh?"
Ogreon chuckled, "Unless of course, you don't want to go. Listen Lieutenant, this is a government ship, correct? I have news that our technologies need updatng already. And if I lose an officer, there's always one there ready to replace them. I'm sure ou could accomplish good here; but I'm sure you'd enjoy it there."
Catie smiled enthusiastically, "You mean it!?"
Ogreon was about to reply when an Aide came over to him and handed him a display device. He looked it over quickly, and with a short gasp he turned to Larry.
"Try not to let her get herself killed. Tell Van and Ewa - if you see them - that I enjoyed their company. But a very urgent matter has come up within the Alliance; galaxy-shattering news. Be sure to tell them I didn't want to leave. But I absolutely had to, there was no choice."
Ge backed up slightly and looked at both of them, "I wish you many exciting adventures. Catie knows how to get to the bar."
Ogreon smiled and walked out of the room, headed for the bridge.
Catie turned to Larry, "You ready?"
