“You think we can’t take it by force?” the lieutenant” asked. Jason laughed while Crusher snarled, making both officers jump back a step.
“Are you seriously so stupid?” Jason asked, still laughing. “After all you’ve seen the last few months, you think a few up-armored Humvees and a buried M1 Abrams are enough to capture this ship? Yes … we know about all your toys you hid in the dirt out there. Well, this has been about as useful as I thought it would be. Tell the President I said good luck reverse-engineering the ship I left him in the Potomac.” With that, he turned and walked back up into the ship with the crew in tow. Once the ramp closed, the Phoenix lifted into the air and accelerated into the night sky.
“That was a spectacular waste of time,” Colonel Jackson said sourly.
“It’s what we expected from Burke,” the “lieutenant” answered. “He’s never been a team player, according to his enlisted performance reports, and waving the flag in his face or threatening him wasn’t going to do anything but piss him off.”
“So that’s it? You’re just going to wave as he flies off into the distance doing God knows what?”
“It’s above your pay grade, Colonel. But don’t worry, we may be able to lure the sergeant back soon enough.”
