Chapitre 100: Chapter 39: New Suspicions Part 1

"Lady Shillingsworth will no longer go anywhere without me," Bundo stood immovable as a rock.

"I can't allow non-Navy personnel into this facility." Chief Petty Officer O'Brien looked just as stubborn as Bundo. "I'm sorry, Commander, my orders come from the Admiralty. Even you can't override them."

"Very well." Cal forced her voice to be as icy as she could. "You explain to the Admiralty why all work at the Shed has stopped." She turned to leave. "Let's go."

"You can't do that!" O'Brien stepped in front of her.

"Did you suddenly get a promotion I didn't hear about?" Cal no longer had to work at the coldness. "Are you the Lord Admiral now? Perhaps you're the new heir to the throne and the news hasn't caught up with me yet." Cal pointed to the Shed. "This is my ship, Petty Officer. Nobody tells me what I can and can't do on my ship. Not you, not the Admiralty, not the Queen herself. If I say work stops, it stops. Now."
