Fleet Admiral April Yamaguchi sighed as she sat on the lip of her desk rather then in her chair as the doorbell beeped at her.

"Enter."

The door opened and in walked Commander Daniel Peterson, or 'Great Rock' as he sometimes liked to call himself, her was somewhat Germanic sounding or he was from eastern Europe, he had that accent. "You sent for me sir?"

"Yes... I did." April commented softly, though it was early she looked wide awake as one could easily see the fire boiling in her eyes, even Franklin knew not to tangle with her when she got to this level of angry, the on time he didn't was the first time he'd ever seen her this angry and the six hours of sex was according to them both, some of the best they had ever had but they both slept for over twelve hours afterwards, it was exhausting.

It was also what brought their first true child into the world, Kimora came along nine months later.

April plucked a PADD from the desk and she handed it to him. "Would you mind explaining just why you are fucking with me?" as she glared darkly at him

"Sir?" Paterson paused, unsure as to what this was about.

"I have a ship that's being told to fuck off, in regards to their repair work... They have got their people on leave... Their warp core is being rebuilt as is several other sections of the ship... I decided to go to your Assistant Chief a couple of days ago... and your assistant is making you look like a disgrace.."

"Commander Quinn Pennington has no right-" Peterson started but the woman before him silenced him. "Are you questioning MY orders!" April hissed angrily at the man standing before her. "How Dare you!" she shouted. "Stand there and tell me what I can and can't do... what the fuck gives you the right..."

Peterson wilted and crumbled before the wall of rage coming at him. "Well... She's the Roanoke... she only does two or three missions a year.."

Yamaguchi felt like screaming but this time she did not hold back, she shrieked at the top of her lungs. "SILENCE!. I DO NOT GIVE YOU LEAVE TO SPEAK!!!"

Peterson blinked as he froze in fright. "Ummm sir!"

"SHUT IT!" April screamed at him as she let out a breathe of air. "You will go back to your fucking job, you will treat Roanoke with the same respect that you show every other ship in the fleet and if you EVER GIVE ME PAUSE TO QUESTION YOUR DEDICATION AGAIN.... I'M GONNA FUCKING CUT YOUR BALLS OFF WITH A BUTTER-KNIFE... DO I MAKE MYSELF ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL FUCKING CLEAR!!!!!"

"Yessir." Peterson paused, he had never seen the Admiral come so completely unglued as this, he wanted out the door when he suddenly realized that in the middle of her screaming fit, he had emptied his bowls.

"Good..." April paused as she calmed down. "Now... Get the fuck... Out of my sight..."

Peterson turned and fled this woman's wrath as April twitched. "Sometimes..... I really fucking hate this job..." she then grasped her drink as her hands shook. "Sometimes I love my work..." as she drained the glass while she fought to calm herself.

She walked out into the Yeoman's outer-office. "Lieutenant...?"

"April... holy crap sir... you okay?"

"No... contact Admiral Armstrong please, he should be in his kitchen and inform him that I want to meet with him back at home... I need to -" April paused a moment. "Speak with him..." she sighed. "Well.. Actually, I need to fuck him senseless..."

Lieutenant Toby Greenwood simply smiled. "Will-do sir... want me to put it just like that or want me to be subtle about it?"

April smiled, she liked her yeoman immensely and it showed. "Well.. with a little more tact, he might be in a meeting.."

"Righto April. Consider Franklin informed."

"Okay." and with that April walked out of the office space, into Operations and as the door closed. Toby tapped her combadge. "Greenwood to Armstrong. sir the Admiral would like to meet with you back at home... she would like a second opinion regarding the ship construction timetable around the Starbase.."

"Okay... I'm on my way... Thank you Lieutenant for making me aware of the issue... Armstrong out."
