I don’t know why that line bugs me so much, but it always has. I get that she’s basically excusing herself (+1 for politeness), but red alert already implies all officers should report to their duty stations immediately. It should have been a given.

    “Red alert” also implies that the shield should be raised too, doesn’t it?

      Yep. Dunno why I can let that one go but not the duty station line. lol
