Swamped

Uh...yeah! You had already been thinking: "we have extra prisoners now...if I was caught it wouldn't be too much trouble for them to ransom me. And who would blame the one-armed recruit for getting caught?"

Well...Burgundy would. You saw her earlier today with the interim commander. He seemed nice, but he kept asking questions about your feelings on Commander Long. Your answers were respectful, but both you and the interim commander could tell it was making Burgundy very uncomfortable. In a strange way it was almost...cruel...making her stand there and listen to you recount your injury. It was over quickly enough, but it made you glad that Long is the one in charge and not that other guy.
