I'm not going to confirm or deny whether Jet said something along those lines to my boss, whether my boss trusts Jet that much and especially not whether we have any backdoors into SHIELD's internal affairs database.
But nobody wanted to believe that someone high up in the Sammies could be dirty either, and look what happened there. And since it's going to be in the next press bulletin anyway, I may as well tell you that we've obtained a comms intercept and have confirmation that Jet followed proper procedure; the shuttle was ordered to shut down their engines and submit to boarding and refused to comply despite repeated warnings. And for something that small, "disabling fire" means shooting at the part where there's only an 80% chance of destroying it outright.
Oh, and @Commando_77? I'd be really quite interested in comparing Jet's Boskone War service record with yours. Nobody is saying that Jet isn't capable of doing some incredibly dumb shit at times, least of all a man who once lost two gallons of paint off his ship's hull and disrupted RTE television transmission to most of County Antrim at a crucial moment in the snooker because she wasn't looking where she was going. But a large percentage of the incredibly dumb shit she's done has been in the name of saving innocent lives, and in my book that entitles her to a bit of fucking slack.
