Lucy frowned, considering the commanders words as he spoke. A mole? How could that be possible? Another sort of training exercise? He had said it wasn't within certainty though, so it was only something to be speculated. As an Intelligence Specialist she knew enough though that even a single doubt had to be scrutinized with extreme care, otherwise it be everyones downfall. But who could it be? She'd have to carefully examine everyone now. Great another thing to add to her list of things to do.

As he turned to face her Lucy was careful to keep level eye contact with him. Even after all these years she was slightly intimidated by the Commander, probably it being due to the fact that it was he himself who put the living fear of god into her for her first few months at Triton Academy. "I'll do my best Commander," She said nodding her head.

Lucy thought briefly for a moment as he asked if there was anything that need to be reported about the Echo Company. More about how to phrase what she was going to say than what needed to be said. "Well...There's been quite a few problems today with both the Mental and Physical aspects of different Cadets in the Company," She said as she found the right words, "By what i've come to gather some of the symptoms include, Sickness, Mood swings and increased sexual drive," It was a bit awkward reporting this but Lucy knew it needed to be done and delivered the report with an unwavering poker face. The only question was now was if it was the right time to lay her cards down on the table and say what she speculated. Well, it was better late than never and she'd rather not just sit around theorizing.

" I don't mean to intrude or anything with this question but I have reasons to believe that this is the byproduct of withdrawal from the chemical compounds that are added to Students rations to get rid of both sexual drive and discrimination of different genders," Lucy contemplated what she had said for a moment, "Am I correct?"
