Elizabeth's helmet cam

On the screen of the terminal the words. "Jammers disabled" was flashing, the vital signs next to the camera indicated that Elizabeth's heart was beating faster than normal. All at once the communication network was alight with people shouting, asking what had happened. Muting the network you spoke and asked the same question. Making sure that it was being sent out to everyone so they didn't think they were being jammed again.

"Elizabeth what happened?" You asked, you knew that this conversation likely should be handled off of a public network but the situation dictated that everyone needed to know what had occurred. More importantly, they needed to know that they could speak normally again after you finished.

"I ah, accidentally turned on a jammer, it was labeled Manifest reports." She said her voice barely perceptible as she obviously wanted to sink into the ground. "I should have checked the underlying databanks before opening it but I thought it was harmless." She confessed. The fact that she was willing to admit her mistake spoke well of her. She couldn't have known that you'd been watching her particular camera. It would have been easy to just try and hide it. Still Amelia would have to punish her later for it. Those kinds of mistakes could get people both "killed" and in this case actually killed.

Now that everyone understood the situation you unmuted the coms. There was some muttered gripes about Lieutenants but as no one had gotten hurt, as a result, it seemed most were willing to let the incident slide as they refocused on the mission. The fact that they had a jammer that strong was a bit disturbing and indicated that they were heavily funded. The operations you had seen so far indicated they would be worth a lot on the black market but not enough to pay for something like that. You hoped Elizabeth, now being especially careful, could uncover where that might have come from.

In the meantime, you called the ship's captain and requested those breaching charges. Your people would have to get out of there and the airlock was still fried. Now that the danger was passed Dakota and her squads returned to the dropship at a more leisurely pace than they had left it.
