"Yes, SIr, of course Sir!" Kathryn salutes the Lt Colonel. "Lt. Colonel Smedley is using torture on a civilian to extract some kind of truth. Colonel Everett lacks rank to put a stop to the ordeal, Sir." She tries to stand tall in spite of her mere height.

In the operations room-
"What?!" said Carmichael, startled, but he quickly composed himself. "Captain Proust, I have to go! You're in charge of ops until I get back." He picked out four airmen and waved for them to accompany them, following Kathryn out into the hall without acknowledging the captain's response.

In the corridor-
"The last time I checked," said Carmichael, "a colonel outranked a light colonel. Everett outranks me, for crying out loud. If he won't stop the torture himself, it isn't rank he lacks. You did the right thing coming to me, Lieutenant. I'll soon put a stop to this. Fill me in along the way. What exactly is going on there? Who is being tortured, and why?"

"Captain Hobart seems to have been betrayed you and leaked information to civilians. Smedley is trying to gauge whom the net of civilians consists of. Top secret stuff and plans, security protocols, I'd guess. Maybe you can put a stop to the nail-pulling?" Kathryn avoids any specifics.

In the corridor-
"Damn straight I will!" said Carmichael hurrying to the exit with the rest of his group. "Captain Hobart isn't a civilian, but Smedley still can't do this. Why would he anyway? Hobart has worked with him for years!" He commandeered a Hummer in the parking lot and drove to the security center. Pulling rank got him and the others inside, and they rushed to the interrogation room.
