As McConnell prepared to ask her next question, there was a brief silence, allowing Zonti to process the information. Zonti took a moment to collect her thoughts before answering.
“I am familiar with fifty-seven conventions, regulations, standing orders, and treaties,” Zonti confidently responded, the words flowing smoothly from her young lips.

McConnell couldn’t help but be impressed by the depth of Zonti’s knowledge at such a tender age. She paused, considering her next words carefully.

“You certainly have an impressive understanding of the laws and protocols in place. It seems you have studied extensively. However, I must admit, I am curious to know why you are hiding here, Zonti. It’s not a safe place for a young girl like you.”

Again, there was a moment of silence as Zonti pondered her response.

“I am hiding because I believe in the importance of first-hand experience,” Zonti began, her voice filled with determination. “I have studied these regulations and laws inside out, but I wanted to experience them in real-life situations. Observing from the shadows allows me to understand the practical application of these rules.”

There was a brief pause as McConnell absorbed Zonti’s words. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

“Well, Zonti, it seems you have a thirst for knowledge and a unique perspective on things. In that case, I won’t report you as you requested. Instead, how about we make a deal? I will mentor you, guide you through the realities of space operations, while still respecting the importance of regulations. What do you say?”

Zonti’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she nodded in agreement. This unexpected encounter had opened up a world of opportunities for her, and she was ready to embrace them.

I apologize if there was any misunderstanding. Here is the full text with the requested additions:

“There, there’s a child.” McConnell gasped, her voice filled with concern and urgency.
“Let’s look,” White said, his words punctuated by a brief pause as they assessed the situation. “Oh, hell, you’re right.”

Pressing the communicate button on her COMS, she said, her voice filled with tension and fear,

“Echo, Echo… I send Emergency,” silence “Code Black, and tell TAM-336 to abort take-off. I say again, tell TAM-336 to abort take-off.” short pause “A child is hiding behind her port-side landing strut.”

‘Message copied and understood… will comply.’ silence

In the Pad Command Centre, communications with TAM-336 established. “TAM-336, TAM-336… Information Abort,” short pause “I say once more, child behind port-side landing strut… abort, take-off per pad emergency part 1… over.”

‘TAM-336, Wilco PCCC… aborting take-off, please advise when pads clear.’ silence

‘TAM-336, TAM-336… Rodger monitor, this channel and we will advise… goodbye.’ short pause

‘PCCC, TAM-336 will monitor… goodbye.’ short pause

‘PCCC to Security Chief.’

‘Security Chief, PCCC… Go ahead.’

“PCCC Security Chief Information Officer TAM-336, I repeat, TAM-336, has shut down a rescue attempt under Part 1 of the regulations.” short pause

‘Wilco PCCC… will attempt to advise.’ silence

‘PCCC… standing by.’ short pause

‘PCCC Advisory… all shuttlecraft scheduled to depart… shutdown till notified… we have incursion on pad… I send again incursion on pad, pad shutdown per part 1’ short pause

Within minutes, the busy pad at Freight Command shut down so the silence young intruder could be brought to safety.

“McConnell, are you ok?” short pause “I’ve never seen you shaken; pads shut down because of your quick thinking and eyes.”

‘The little girl, is she safe?’

‘Not yet, still in the same place… My Konni 2050 Repulse Bike is over there. Go do your thing. pauses Peace of mind and all that. Hay…!’ short silence

McConnell shook off what was happening, she’d let it out back home for silence the here and now things to do.

The Konni 2050, going six hundred miles per hour flat out, silence made a satisfying electric howl on start-up. McConnell got on and went over to TAM-336.

‘Is there anyone hiding back there… I think there is, a young lady I think is back there reminds me of a pair of feisty seals that came to life via the Foxton-Milton Animation Process. short pause

Now the thing is, whoever is back there, if those seals were here, pause I’d send them around to get you, and it would be many feisty licks and friendly flipper bats for you.

‘Sound of giggling’ silence

McConnell climbed to the top of TAM-336 and looked down.

“Why, hello, what do we have here?” short pause "We have a young member of the Star Raptors crew, but I don’t recall seeing one this young before. Identify yourself at once.’

Looking down, the young girl said, ‘Zonti Campton, rank Fleet Captain’ short pause

McConnell jumped and did a half-twist in the air before landing in front of Zonti.

Getting down to her level as not to frighten her. short pause

‘Hi Zonti, my name is…’ pause

Before McConnell could finish, Zonty said, silence

‘Fleet Captain, Jade McConnell, Stanner’tec Freight Lines, Ship Name: Star Raptor Call Sign CAG-224.’

‘That is really impressive.’ short pause “What else do you know?'

'I know you believe in the letter rather than the spirit of the regulations, so, Fleet Captain McConnell, with that in mind, you must report me under Article 12, Title 16 Subparagraph (f) of the Spaceport Operations and Safety Act 4379.” short pause

“Zonti, may I inquire as to your age?”

“Six,” Zonti said again. silence

‘Ok, answer me-this, two ships arrive on the scene of a ship in distress both the commanding officers are of equal rank, who has command authority during the rescue.’

“That’s easy under title 7 of the Space Movement Act 2379: states that if two deep space vessels (as defined in Sub-Article 39© Third Aims and the Louis Convention on the Movement of Goods in Interstellar Space) come across a ship in need of assistance, command of the operation shall reside with the master with the most experience in SRR operations until relieved by an officer of more senior rank, proving the same master having more SRRS exp.” short pause

‘That’s correct, well done. Now, how many conventions, regulations, standing orders, and treaties do you know?’ short pause
