Feeling the anger in her voice, the man who had spoken to her hastily said, "Yes, but I was supposed to tell you anyway."
There was no more time for useless words to be spoken. So, with a decisive nod, she said, "Alright, it's good that you did. You can file it in later, but now, it doesn't change our situation in any way. Unsterilized air can hurt the eye, but at least the damage is not permanent – with everything we brought, we will be able to heal it. If the controllers die, though… We will be facing a catastrophic loss that can and will impact our entire careers. I'm not prepared to let that happen. Everyone, prepare to use the second level of the holy figurines."
Gasps could be heard all about the small room as her words echoed in it. Before any voices could be raised in protest, though, she spoke again.
