“Thank you, thank you, thank you” she cried as she started hopping on the spot.
“You’re welcome, welcome, welcome.” he said with a grin.
“But-but not just because of what I did?”
“No, your work also was one of the best. But yes, you taking the lead on the rescue mission is another reason”
“If no one else did something I had to…” she said and shrugged
“Well, actually your instructor was about to do something too, at least go to Geneva to investigate… but when he saw that you were taking the lead he decided to let you. He’d have stopped you if you did something rushed”
“Oh” she looked down “well, I could have thought of that… I just got mad because no one else seemed to care. I mean, the other cadets all were like ‘That’s not our job. We could not pass this thing if we save him’. All they cared about was to get a place on that ship”
“And you can be assured that I don’t want such people on my ship. Those who are only focused on themselves or their own benefit”
“So I guess no one else from my group made it?”
“I can’t say this yet. I only have chosen another one beside you”
“Well, I think I should bring you back to your friends, right?” she shrugged
“Yeah. Uhm... can I tell them already or is your decision not official yet?”
“It’s decided but not official. So, you can tell them if you want. But just don’t… shout it through the room or whatever” she smiled
