Douglas smiled back at Jane, but slightly nervously, as he was unsure of how lucky the team was going to get.

Once the Captain dismissed his crew, Douglas stood, pushed his chair back under the table and coughed loudly to remind Cap that he was also an officer, and that Jack and Louis were possibly lower ranks than he was. He left the room somewhat disturbed by Cap's half-baked plan.

As he left Cap's office he noticed Jane waiting for him outside, sitting on a chair in the waiting room. Douglas sat down beside her and let out a deep sigh.
"I really hope the Cap's backup plan is better than this one." He said quietly, "I might just be pessimistic, I'm sure he didn't reach the rank of Captain without having any tactical ability, but this plan seems to be clutching a single string of luck. You're our tactician, what do you think about this? Have you got any suggestions as to how to make this better?"
