Ike and Amanda were in the room for only a short time before they came out, "Amanda is willing to be seen but only after this crisis is over. Until then she will not add any additional burden to the medical facilities aboard the Fijishi." Once he had said that he settled down at a small desk made available for his use and started checking on the information coming in. When reports of the damage to the habitat came in as well as the estimate of civilian lives lost he had to gasp, "Oh my god, who would do such a thing?" The next words out of his mouth were far less kind, "Gamo Ton Christo Sou you Poutanas Yie!!!"
Amanda so rarely heard him swear in his native tongue she was shocked. Beyond that she had a general idea of what he had said and it was highly insulting.
Teo looked up at him and raised an eye ridge, "Do I want to know what you just said Ike?"
Before she could ask any more Amanda interrupted, "No, you don't want to know. If he even considers telling you he will be living in separate room for a while." She had called up the news feed on her VR glasses and had to close her eyes for a moment, "I understand Ike but please control your tongue while we are around others." God that was horrible, "I am going to go and talk to the ladies. They will eventually find out and I might as well tell them what happened, well some of it."
Teo winced at Amanda's tone and threat, "Ah, I am sure it is along the lines of a few things I was thinking. I am sure the warriors are saying the same or worse. Go and take your time Amanda. Doctor you go as well just in case." This might change things though she wasn't sure since the request by the females was beyond miniscule compared to this.
Once the two had left the room she turned to Ike, "I am going to authorize the ladies to go to Shola. I am not going to wait for a bunch of medical reports saying it would be a good idea. If you don't mind would you send a brief message to Ambassador Madlax informing him of this? I will contact the telepath's guild and the accommodation guild so they are ready as well."
Ike looked up at her and, other than a burning rage in his eyes, his face was relatively composed, "I will take care of it immediately and send a message to the Swiss concerning this as well." He turned back to the terminal he was using and went back to work. It was going to be a long day for everyone involved.
Eventually he was done with the various messages and he had made sure to send copies to the Sec Def. He figured he wouldn't get a reply for some time since at the moment everyone was focused on the attack. Once he was done he turned to Teo, "How do you plan on sending them back? One of the transports from Shola?"
Teolura leaned back in her chair and stretched before answering. Her muscles were tense and with the anger she was feeling she had turned her personal damper up full, "To be honest I am not sure. At the moment, the transports are going to be occupied with getting equipment here to help and possibly taking the worst injured back to Shola if asked. I know that Yilly has asked to have the pirate ship sent to Shola as a test ship for his modified engines. It has been completely stripped of anything from when the pirates were aboard, repainted and sanitized. I sent a message to Amanda to ask the ladies if they would mind going back on her. The ship looks completely different and has even had some upgrades such as the beds, food, and entertainment consoles."
Ike winced at that since it almost sounded like a bad idea and to not even ask, "I am sure you know but that sounds wrong. I understand but who will be going with to help them? I know you are seriously occupied with what has happened here as well as your own search. We need to think about what is best for them as well." He rubbed his face and groaned, "Well if nothing else Amanda will be able to tell you if it will work. Once I have that information I will send a message to Billy about them."
