((Talaxian Palms Hotel, Paxau District, Amity Station))
Seleya: I am a bit surprised, but I guess it makes sense, given what happened with the Vaadwaur. I am sure Command wants to be safe. And given I am the only Intel officer as far as I know here and wouldn’t require a 6-8 week journey to arrive…
Seleya stopped talking as she let her mind wander. The idea of being the one intel officer on the station, was making her nervous, a station was an entirely different beast than a ship. She had hoped she would have staff or be able to work with the other departments of Amity. Or they would be sending someone with more experience to run things and she’d just do whatever was needed in the interim. She was sure she would be hearing more in the next couple of days.
Seleya started pouring whatever it was into a glass. It was an odd purplish-red color, and the label had Talaxian script. She just hoped it was good.
Bryn: It makes sense. You’re perfect for Amity. Plus, we like you.
Seleya cocked an eyebrow before taking a sip of the drink, smacking her tongue and lips a bit as she took in the flavor. Wasn’t the best, wasn’t the worst, she could sip on this.
Bryn: And that means we can find a room together! That’s so exciting!
That reminded Seleya that she needed to share the second bit of news. Not that she was opposed to having Bryn as a roommate, but she did not need to tolerate Seleya if she didn’t want to.
Seleya: I also got news that I have been promoted to Lieutenant.
Bryn: oh! Oh!!! ::a pause:: Well, okay, never mind about being roommates. Skies!
That’s awesome, Sel.
Seleya watched as Bryn got up and rushed over to give Seleya a hug. She was a little caught off guard, and it felt a bit odd. Seleya was used to being one of the taller people on a posting but Bryn had a few inches on her and Seleya was not used to being the shorter one.
Bryn: You’re going to be in charge of this whole outpost before we know it. That’s amazing!
That comment caused Seleya to take a much longer sip from the drink. She was in no way ready to start thinking about any sort of command. She was barely a year out of the academy.
Seleya: Well, I am sure we will be roommates for a few more days while they find us both quarters. But let’s slow down there on taking command. I am not looking to be in charge anytime soon. But thank you.
Bryn: Congratulations. Am I the first one to say it? Oh that’s so cool.
Seleya: Yah, I just got off the comms call with my previous Captain, so you are the first one hearing about this.
Bryn: Response
Seleya: I am sure Captain Ukinix has heard about this as well, so I imagine we will be having a meeting soon.
Bryn: Response
Seleya: But enough about me. How are you finding your transition on Amity here? Fitting in well?
Seleya hoped to transition some of the attention off of herself, and maybe get an idea of how Seleya’s future transfer process was going to happen.
