Captain Rodgers was caught off guard by such an offhanded question. It took him a few seconds to regain himself. "Sir?" "Yes?"
Elena took a deep breath. "I came to apologize for my outburst earlier. You are a figure of authority in the academy and I shouldn't have been so disrespectful. But apart from that, I also need to understand why you are giving us such a hard time."
Captain Rodgers stared at her with a blank expression, causing the atmosphere to feel a bit awkward. Just as Elena was about to say more, he moved.
He brought his wrist up to his mouth. "Postpone the next trial by an hour." A robotic female voice answered. [But sir, are you sure?] "Yes, inform the devs that they should wait." […Alright then, sir. The message has been delivered.]
He brought his arm down and gestured for Elena to follow him. "Come with me."
