The Nightstar Zoo

I said it before, I'll say it again. They shouldn't be in the same command chain. Giving your significant other their marching orders is not good for your relationship or the command structure.

I'm pretty sure there was a whole sub-plot about this... they started dating after Elf got promoted to Kevyn's rank.

As justified as any thoughts about Elf doing questionable stuff are (seriously, what the heck has she been doing?), now is probably not the time to even mention the word "worry". Questioning your wife's ability to be careful is probably not gonna help right now.

"So I shouldn't be tearing up this deck plating?"
"Ennesby just told me that he can make our legal situation better if the area is treated very carefully like a crime scene. Our legal grounds are already shaky, so I want to let him do his lawyer stuff."

Though yeah I also think this situation is not great either. Let someone else give Elf orders.
