Cadet Aetherun,

Please come to my office at your earliest convenience.

~Commander Zabala

She had written the PM as mildly as possible without obscuring the fact that it was an order, not a request. She hoped he wouldn't believe himself to be in trouble.

But she waited, in her office, that evening after returning from the Island. With as much work as she had to do, it wasn't as if she could be anywhere else anyway.

Earliest convenience. Yeah, he was in trouble. (Who wouldn't believe that, anyway? Besides, he had reason!) Just how many clean uniforms did he have left, anyway? Probably not enough. Still, Zak wasn't going to try to get off on the wrong foot.

It took a little longer than the Commander probably liked, but showered, shaved, and dressed in a clean uniform is how Zak showed up at her door, knocking at it politely.

"Cadet Aetherun reporting, ma'am." Of course if she wanted his findings on his claws, or the remnants, she'd be waiting a while. He was still running informational diagnostics on them.
