I'm up for as much fun as the next guy, but you do wonder what was going through Lt Frith's mind as this developed. Did she not realise that this had all the makings of a monumental SNAFU. Did she not listen to anything at BRNC?
I expect she's already had the my office, your hat, no hot beverages interview - bet it was quite something. I'd imagine her boss didn't get off too lightly either.
