Capt. Stadia snuk away from the rest of the vipers. Thinking to herself, what a wast of time. She knew that the problem on the livestock ship was under control and her headache was getting worse.
She landed on the callisto and headed toward the gold barracks. Changing out of her flight suit, she got into her workout clothes and headed towards the gym.
She entered the gym and put on the boxing gloves and preceed to but the stuffing out of the punching bag. The whole time swearing at her husband for leaving her, for her rank for not going up like it was supposed, at Commander Apollo and Sheba for getting us into the current mess and in general for life being sucky.
She punched at the bag until all her hatred and anger subsided and she collasped crying on the floor of the gym. She hadnt cried when she found out that Marcus was MIA but it was all coming out.
A short time later, she found herself staring out the airlock door. The thought of ending it growing deeper in her mind rising to the surface.

(note: I'm adding this post here since the title seems to fit!)
"I am relinquishing my position as Second in Command of the Callisto effective immediately." There, I had said it. My military career was over.
Sheba just stood there, dumbfounded it seemed. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh. "Sit down, Charybdis. We need to talk," she said.

Stadia shook her head and decided she would go and check her viper out and see to any repairs it might need. She walked into the barracks and changed out of her flightsuit and into a pair of overalls.
A short time later she was in the hangerbay working underneath her viper when she heard a voice...
"How many times do I have to tell you guys, when your not using tools to put them back where they belong."
Stadia slid out from under the carriage of her viper and looked up. There stood the tallest and cutest Chief Petty Officer she had ever seen.
She takes a moment to swallow before addressing the cpo.
"Chief, do you always yell like that?"
The chief looked surprissed and amusedly so a little befuddled.
"No maam not at all" he managed to get out before his cheeks blazed red. Stadia quietly laughs to herself, thinking he is cute when he blushes.

"What is your name Chief?"
"Chief Petty Officer Rylah, ma'am."
"Do you have a first name?" Stadia asked as she took in all of him.
"Jacob, ma'am."
" Well Chief Petty Officer Rylah, it might serve you next time to know who your yelling at but since you are here maybe you can help me figure out what is wrong with my vipers avionics."

I left Sheba's office and went straight to my temporary quarters. Urdea had still not made any determination about Elmer's death and I was getting tired of not being in my normal quarters but it didn't matter much now.
I began packing all my belongings, what few of them there were, and put everything into some bags and boxes. I marked the top of them: Charybdis, Medical Frigate.
I grabbed my couple of travel bags when I had finished and slowly walked toward the launch bay. It was time to go.
Once I got to the bay, I boarded a shuttle and waited for it to launch. My destination: the Medical Frigate with a much-anticipated reunion with my parents. The ship would be my new home...

Sheba walked over to the main comm unit where Geenie was sitting. "Intercom, please," she said.
Geenie pushed the switch and gave the microphone set to Sheba.
"Attention, all Warriors aboard the Callisto. It is my duty to report that Colonel Charybdis is leaving for the Medical Frigate where he will be stationed. I will have further information about the Second in Command position at a later time." She slowly gave the mic back to Geenie as Sheba walked back to her war room.
There was a silence on the bridge as everyone there looked back and forth and wondered why Charybdis had left the ship...

The flight was rather long to the Medical Frigate. It was lodged around two-thirds of the way back in the fleet, mainly to provide the whole fleet with medicines and not have too far to ship the stuff to any of the ships. But before we arrived there, I arranged for the shuttle pilot to make one extra stop: the Caprican Questar. There was one person I wanted to add to our flight plan: Arien, my sister. After her arrival in the fleet, there was no travel allowed and my parents had never known that she was alive. Now was the time to take her over there and get her reacquianted with the parents she had lost so many yahren ago.
My parents had been assigned to the Medical Frigate from very early on and I spent a good deal of my early childhood there. My father began learning the research phase from some of the scientists onboard and soon, he began studying under them to the point where he became a pretty important researcher dealing with flora from planets which we pass by. Extracts from some of those plants may contain new miracle drugs to help our people.
My mother, was a teacher by trade and she took it upon herself to start a small school onboard the frigate to teach all the children of the staff of the ship. She still does some of that a few times a week but she is starting to slow down after the rough life on a ship.
The announcement came over the shuttle's intercom that we would be landing in a few centons. I was looking forward to seeing my sister and then taking her to see mom and dad...

Stadia knew she would, despite regulations, see him in less then formal circumstances. As he slid under the carriage of her viper. She smiled as she heard him mumbling something about the things colonial warriors and the havoc they wreak on his vipers.
She laughed as she saw the deckhands try and hide their snickers. She knew definitely she would have to find a way for them to meet up.

Stadia walked out of the landing bay with a permagrin on her face. Her mind searching for a way to get him alone.
A short time later she ended up in the officer's club. She laughed as she saw Hawke stumbling around. She would have to take him back to medbay after this. she sat down and order some ambrosia. Just shaking her head, she drank it quietly.

Arien was packed within a few centons. She couldn't believe what had happened with me in the first place, but she was so excited about finally seeing our parents she couldn't contain herself. We quickly returned to the shuttle and boarded. It left the CQ and had a couple of other stops along the way to the Medical Frigate.
