“Well, just don’t press the blue button. It blows everything up.”
She laughed. “Nice one. Commander already teased me with that! How’s your digital music player? Is it still giving you issues?”
“No. Whatever you did has it working perfectly. You’ll have to come by my quarters and check it out for yourself.”
A growl escaped LemAN before he could stop it. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
“Are you okay?”
He felt heat rise to his face. “Lieutenant ComEY, let me know if you detect anything in the vicinity.”
“Yes, sir.”
He turned off the communicator. “We’ll be landing shortly and need to keep the line open.”
She shrugged. “Okay.”
LemAN wanted to find out exactly how much time she had spent alone with Lt. ComEY in his quarters, but he had no right. How would he justify that? He would question the lieutenant upon their return and make sure he knew that Teagan was under his protection.
“I forgot how beautiful Balar is.”
He looked out at the planet. He had seen many in his lifetime. “Not as beautiful as Katiera.”
