"Let me go!" Berry yelled, drowning out the background noise of water splashing in the shower room of the cabin.

Dragonfly stood aside and looked at Berry's space suit lying limply on the mud floor in the habitation module. "Boss, don't force me to customize a special cocoon for you." She raised her head and said to Berry, "Doing this will waste a lot of food and energy, but if it comes to a last resort, I will really be ruthless."

Berry was struggling hard to get rid of the restraints of the fireball and flying fire, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to barely control the movements of the earth pony. "I order you to let me go!"

"If you resign now, you will no longer be able to give me orders." Fireball said, "And if you still want to give me orders, then obviously you don't really want to resign." He glanced at the other side again. The Pegasus holding Berry tightly, "Maybe this is some strange pony logic at play, right?"

"No." Spitfire said, "Every pilot encounters his own unlucky day and the rest of his life is like this. She will eventually get through this stage. We are just trying to prevent her from impulsively killing herself during this period. His job was ruined."

"What kind of job is this?!" Peipei shouted, "I am a pilot, not a leader! If God wants me to be a person in charge, then I should have horns and wings!"

"That sounds like a good idea," Spitfire replied, "Let's go get Cocoon's for you. In my opinion it would be good for everyone."

"Ahem, could you please be careful with your words!" Tingting immediately protested, but only because she should object due to her position at the moment.

"I'm not a princess!" Berry struggled again and almost broke free of her front legs from Feihuo's arms. "I never wanted to be a princess! I just like flying! You are the leader, You are the one who should be in charge!"

Feihuo's front hooves exerted force again and tightly hugged Berry's leg. "Sir," she said solemnly in the most formal official tone, "As the chief medical officer of Amicitas, I have determined after careful consideration that although you are still mentally competent to perform your current position, your current unstable mood makes you unable to do so. I have the right to make major changes that may have serious consequences, so I hereby reject your order and stop your decision to resign."

"Besides," Fireball said, "Flying Fire is a rookie who has never been to space a few times."

"She saved our lives." Berry retorted, "but my previous behavior put our lives at risk."

"That's not what I meant." Fireball said, "Remember? This is a joint ESA-CSP mission. Starlight Glimmer should be the deputy commander."

"However, her current physical condition is not enough to take on this role." Spitfire interjected, "This will be the case for the next few weeks."

"After that, the commanders will be arranged according to their flight qualifications." Fireball continued, "That means it will be my turn next. No one wants me to take charge, let alone me."

"But Twilight Sparkle and Cocoon will definitely insist on following the rules." Spitfire concluded, "Remember? Our team was formed purely for the purpose of ensuring political correctness. Our boss does not want to What trouble is there at this juncture?"

"They're not here at all!" Berry roared word by word, her body twisting and struggling crazily. This time she successfully got rid of Spitfire's control, but was hung in the air by one of Fireball's claws.

"They still..."

"You're right!" Tingting interrupted her, thinking quickly about countermeasures. The Pegasus was now trying to reason with Berry using the rules. This approach won't work. What Berry needs now is more proactive support. "They're not here! They can't tell us who should be the leader! So it's our turn to decide, right?" She paused for a second or two to leave a sense of herself to the audience. The illusion of having the right to express one's attitude; OK, it's been long enough, let's move on. "So let's hear what you guys have to say: Is there anyone else here who wants to be a commander? Put your hoof up."

At this time, Tingting could feel that Fei Huo's emotions were very complicated. She doesn't mind being a commander for a time, but she can understand that she is not the leader that the people want at this moment. So she consciously did not raise her hoof, and because the others were unwilling to stretch out their hooves to pick up this hot potato, Berry's hoof that was hung in mid-air by the fireball became the target of public criticism.

"The resolution was unanimously adopted to retain Berry to continue to serve as the mission commander?" Tingting followed suit.

"Agreed." Spitfire responded immediately. At this time, Tingting thought, the current situation is good, and she also started to speak for me. This should be enough.

"Agreed." Fireball agreed.

"Agreed." There was a faint sound from Xingguang's bunk. She hadn't taken her painkillers this morning and was lying on her bunk to keep her broken leg upright in the air.

"I hereby declare that the resolution was unanimously passed." Tingting concluded, "Your request for resignation was rejected by the only one of us who had the weight to speak. And we will never allow such an incident to happen again, without any There is room for negotiation. Boss, you are still our boss."

The sound of running water in the shower stopped. After a while, Mark poked his head out from the curtain, stared at the dramatic scene in front of him of Berry being restrained by the fireball and flying fire for a long time, and asked, "Why is there so much movement outside? Are you going to rebel?"

"What is 'rebellion'?" Tingting asked back.

"Rebellion... means, uh..." The dryer in the shower room rang, and Mark had to yell loudly to hear it. "'Rebellion' means a group of men telling their leader, 'We don't want to. I will listen to you again!'"

"Oh..." Dragonfly responded.

"No." Spitfire said.

"Yes." Fireball said.

"Maybe?" Dragonfly replied.

Mark sighed, put his head back behind the shower curtain, continued to dry himself, and took care of his clothes.

"Then if the subordinates force the leader to continue giving them orders, is it considered a rebellion?" Tingting asked at this time.

"Forget it!!!" Berry suddenly appeared and said something.

"Sir, listen to me first." Fireball said, "You messed up this time. We all understand. But I messed up earlier than you. And Starlight's accident happened long before me - of course I asked her to do that. But screwing up once doesn't mean you'll always succeed more than fail."

Berry looked up at the fireball without saying a word.

"The horse is never finished, and accidents always happen suddenly." Fireball continued, "And this accident was not entirely caused by you. I also didn't think of reporting the situation to Xingguang and Mark. The same goes for Tingting. So. Spitfire had a stronger sense of this danger than we did, but she also failed to remind them to take precautions. Do you think we can all be calm about this? We are just as concerned about this accident as you are. We have an unshirkable responsibility." The dragon's words were firm at this time, as unshakable as granite, "So do we have to take the blame for this and resign?"

"but……"

"No? That's good." Fireball snatched her words and continued, "So the question is, are you really that bad? No, it's not what you think at all. We talked about this with Mark yesterday . Just a few seconds after the explosion, you reacted and asked us to take action. During the rescue process, you kept trying to keep us focused on the task at hand. At the same time, you also did your best to help Mark and I repair the habitation module. You Just keep holding on like this until we are all out of danger and the living cabin is fully repaired." The dragon stared straight into Berry's eyes and concluded, "And these are things I simply can't do. So listen up, next. Don't always think about throwing the blame on me when something like this happens. Cheer up and get back to work."

After all, Berry was defeated, and she turned her gaze away.

"Let her go." Tingting said upon seeing this, "She won't want to resign again."

Fireball nodded and carefully placed Berry firmly back on the ground. Then he straightened up and made a standard pony salute, "Sir, at your command."

Berry took a deep breath, wiped her face with her elbow, and stared up at him; her tone no longer had the previous outburst of anger, but instead became calm and serious: "Report your injury to the medical officer."

"What injury?" Fireball asked.

Dragonfly couldn't bear to close her eyes and ear fins in advance, but it couldn't stop the crisp sound from Berry's hind hoof kicking the fireball's mouth firmly.

"This is a decision made after comprehensive consideration of your behavior of forcibly hanging the commander by your hooves for several minutes." Berry replied coldly, "Firefire will help you record it neatly and neatly in the military style. She glanced at the Pegasus beside her and said, "After you check his condition and let Starlight take the painkillers, put on your equipment immediately. Today you have to go to the cave with me."

"You broke my teeth!" Fireball lay on his back on the dirt floor, wailing continuously.

"I have pills to cure this." Feihuo looked nonchalant, even a little gloating, "You'll be fine."

"A pony actually broke my teeth," Fireball groaned, "I will definitely become everyone's laughing matter when I go back..."

Everyone dispersed laughing. After a few minutes of noisy arguing, Mark turned off the dryer and emerged from the bathroom, still wearing the same smelly, shabby clothes that lined his space suit when the habitat module exploded. "Is it done?" he asked Tingting.

"Everything is fine," said Tingting, "Berryberry is still the boss. She wanted to give up before, but we stopped her."

"Oh..." Mark finally understood and nodded, "Not bad. Do you want to come and help me repair a robot?"

Dragonfly looked very interested and her ears perked up. "Is it Steve Austin?" she asked. "That guy who was dying?"

"Uh... no." Mark replied.

At this moment, Berry's space suit began to spray water. "Sorry," said Tingting, "I have to talk to the other end of the house now. I'll work with you later."

"It's okay, don't worry."

So Tingting typed a string of codes on her space suit to instruct the other party to resend the message. This morning's unexpected incident finally came to an end, and those negative emotions were finally overwhelmed by a burst of pure loyalty. Plus, spending a day with Mark would provide more love and help wash away the last vestiges of harmful self-blame.

Maybe they finally passed this hurdle.
