Her stride long and purposeful, her focus on the moments and the mission ahead of her. The other Officers, enlisted and civvies parted automatically in the passageway, allowing the amazonian-like figure pass unhindered. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">She half heard comments made as she turned down toward the transporter room, half smiling at the wide-eyed expression that some of the so called ‘lower deckers’ made.

No you are not hallucinating, yes, the CO is on the away team.

Your objection is noted and respected, but in turn respectfully refused. We will be headed to the surface to meet one Doctor Cassandra Jones, an Archaeologist with the research team. Seems that there’s been some discovery of some sort. I wish I knew more, there’s a bunch of politics in play, but at the moment all we have is rather uppity and self important Archaeological lead who is making waves. Now I’m not about to hold that against her, however, a sudden change in ethos and the potential for local upset…”</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">(Reply any)</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">“I’m not sure.
