#debriefing

Bonobos are shown to interact in a very sexually social and casual way.

It's like...positive slut shaming. She thinks you're sexually promiscuous and prone to having sex with friends or finding more poly partners quickly--socially promiscuous with a sexual flavor.

You're a social butterfly that does cunnilingus or something, idk.

Chapter 4: Debriefing Takes a Long Time, Even With Slides

Peacetime Coruscant isn't too happy with a Venator in the system, but they've got Senatorial codes. It'll all be fine right? Just have to debrief the Jedi Council. If anyone is going to believe time travel, it'll be the Jedi, right?

“I’ll answer to the best of my ability.” Arya confirmed with a short nod. She couldn’t help the sly creep up at the corner of her lips with the dry addition of, “Though, to be honest, recent events have shown me that I am…rather bad, at answering questions.”

The silence was distinctly uncomfortable for the gathered lords. 

Däthedr’s eyes flared wide a handful of seconds after Arya’s comment, quickly hidden again behind the cool, controlling mask of his station. Islanzadí, though, openly pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed softly. 

“Was that a torture joke, Major?” Her voice dripped with tired exasperation, both unsurprised by the equivoque and yet completely unprepared for the unfathomable depths of her daughter’s apparent lack of taste. 

Arya smiled, wolfish and eyes gleaming. “Yes, ma’am.”

Islanzadí did not raise her gaze, eyes still shut and imperceptibly massaging the headache she was sure was going to form before this was over. “Please refrain from such things. I remind you, this is an official debriefing.”

Prompt 24 Court Martial

After Voyager returns home to Earth, Chakotay must go through a debriefing with the formidable Admiral Nechayev, one that could lead to his wife and former captain's court martial.

Notes: This is an excerpt from the (in progress) sequel to my story "Ship in a Bottle". The last enemy mentioned was fought in the story. Also Chakotay and Janeway are married. All you really need to know.

Want to know why I always want to go back to the ocean?

Because since 2017 this is where I am able to pray deepest.

In the midst of the sounds of crashing waves, the salty breeze and the cold wind, I feel God the most. In the middle of the vastness of the ocean and the width of this horizon, I am but a small dot. 

Who am I that the God who calmed the sea, would call out in the rain and calm the storm in me?

Anxiety has crippled and sunk me, but it has always been God’s grace that has kept me afloat.
