Captain, dressed impecably in his navy blues, along with Commander (also dressed impecably, and with a bugle) are waiting at the grave sites. There are three open graves, with plain wooden coffins on belts over each one. Subtle mind suggestions about getting back to work had cleared the local area of all other sleepers.
(Leftenant and Ensign HATE funerals.)
"Zilker is probably going to want me defeaned for the Ceremony." Commander says, a sigh escaping from his lips. "And I can't stop him. I'm sorry. I'll delay it as long as possible." Then Captain sheds his first tear of the ceremony. "I'm going to get you there. I haven't forgotten. I will find a way." The two men hug, Commander patting Captain on the back, as the guests start to arrive.
