A sharp voice. "Well?"
"I've passed the medical. That means I'm definitely going, doesn't it?"
"I suppose so... if you are sure you're ready for this mission so soon after you've left the hospital. This will be a very demanding mission as you know, and will require you to be in the best physycal and mental shape you've been in for a while"
"I am ready. This mission can't go ahead without me, you told me that yourself. And if i'm the only one with the experience to lead this mission, well then, i'll be damned before I bail on you"
A low sigh.... "Alright. Hand these final instruction sheets to the others. You leave on Wednesday morning. Meet in my office at 8.30am sharp"
