Darius entered the Base Ops tent, looking extremely unpleased. "You forgot to turn off your comlink, Captain Silver," he mentioned to Artemis.
"Recruit Thorn, you are correct. Bootcamp is meant to teach recruits the protocols of our military. So let me start your education here. Lesson one; do not question a superior under any circumstances, even if you do not report to them. I do not care what your reasoning is, you listen to them and you follow their orders. Lesson two; we are a professional military. We expect the utmost in professionalism from everyone in our ranks. You have already broken both of these rules. This is your final chance to prevent it from happening again. If it does, you will not have a chance to say good bye. You will be escorted to the ferry home and your bags will be delivered to you there."
General Steele pulled out a box of cotton swabs. "Your punishment for this latest transgression is to clean the entire latrine with these until you report for duty tomorrow. If you finish before then, you are to clean it again and again until it is time." He handed her the box and turned to leave, but stopped short.
"Ah, Mrs Silver. While we're here... since you seem so eager to help miss Thorn you can help teach her lesson three; we do not show favorites and we do not single anyone out. For your impromptu speech, you get to take the men’s latrine on the other side of camp," he says, handing her a second box of cotton swabs.
"I do not want to hear of any complaints. Again, this is your final chance, do not waste it," he adds, before finally exiting the tent.
