All right then. All right. This is a thing. Just face it with more dignity than he's faced in the past few days...and with more decorum, more pride.
He scrubs up quick, a true navy shower, puts on something more respectable, and heads for Marshall Archer's office. Malcolm is stiff, militaristic, crisp as he delivers his report, eyes ahead, because deviating might lead to slipping might lead to other things slipping out. Like emotions or fears or doubts. This is no time for that. But Archer's always had this habit of being interested in what his subordinates think and feel. Something like drift compatibility is not to be taken lightly. Murray was a damn good ranger they could use back on the field--if he's ready. Reed's a good teacher with fighting and tactics in his blood but no practical experience outside of simulations.
He knows this. He knows this all too well. This could be a disaster, or it could be the new dream team of the dome. It depends on them.
He goes to seek out York afterward, knocking on his door in a plain black undershirt and crisp trousers, looking entirely too sheveled (as opposed to dis-).
