Amara Denorios had arranged several hours in her day to inspect the Marine Training facility located on Serenity's East coast. Although it had been a good three hours ago. Forty minutes into the tour Marine Captain Denorios had been recalled to Serenity City.
Upon her return it didn't take her long to learn just how bad the ensuing crisis was. All in all the day wasn't going well. Dressed in combat gear, Amara, stood with a group of marines. Quelling civil panic wasn't an easy job when thing were going well. The crowds in the Downtown/ Government district were becoming increasingly hostile.
In the past ten minutes she began to wonder if more manpower would be a good idea. Off the top of her head the Tanzaran had no clue where it would come from. At the moment her prime concern was maintaining enough control until she could talk to Commodore Hunter.
As she continued to monitor the situation on from just inside the boarder of the district, Amara got on her encrypted comm system to the Commodore's office. "Yes I need to speak with Hunter now. This is Marine Captain Denorios," she paused to listen to the response, "Yes I know he's extremely busy. However this is rather urgent I have an update on the civil situation for him. He knows how to get in touch with me. If he wants to talk in person he knows how to get that info to me as well. Tell him I'm requesting more support at my location."
Nothing was ever easy and Amara didn't expect this to be either. At some point Hunter really needed to know just how bad things were getting. Civilian versus military relations had always been tenuous at best when it came to colonies like Serenity. Things became even more hairy during a crisis situation.
It fell to Denorios and her marines to maintain order. With all hell breaking loose that wasn't a walk in the park. For now all she could really do was stay on her toes and keep her eyes open. And hope things didn't get any worse.
