Ens Lyara Alroyo - Sorry, Super Spy
Lyara Alroyo
((USS Griffin - On the Way to Kahines II))
Lyara decided it would be good to lighten the mood after a small outburst from earlier with a good joke.
Lyara: So that means Pretty Officer won’t be doing any spy stuff like in the holonovels?
It seemed she accidentally complimented the officer rather than addressing him by his proper rank, not that she thought he wasn’t attractive. So much for the decorum she had judged the other Ensign for earlier.
Filistrien: Unfortunately, Sir, the work of Intelligence seldom lives up to the extraordinary expectations harbored by outsiders. ::patient smile:: I assure you, I shall attempt to make myself useful.
Lyara slightly grimaced after the joke clearly didn’t land. Ensign Bergmen interrupted her awkward moment with a question.
Bergmen: I'm going to take a bite of something. Anyone to join?
Alroyo just looked at him, wondering why he in his right mind would think she’d want to share lunch with him after stepping way overline earlier.
Lyara: No.
Filistrien: Response
Bergmen shrugged then walked out of the cockpit to get food from replicators.
((OOC: Leaving out the tags of the others that went to the other room))
Alroyo looked at Filistrien and gave him a conciliatory smile.
Lyara: I’m sorry if my joke from earlier came off as mean spirited. I’m sure you are very useful.
She took a sip of her tea and hoped he wouldn’t blow up at her.
Filistrien: Response
Lyara: I’ll admit, it would be pretty cool if you were a super spy.
Alroyo chuckled at her own joke. Maybe “Pretty Officer” really was secretly a super spy of some secret organization, but that would be dumb as those aren’t real.
Filistrien: Response
Lyara put her hands up in a mock surrender to the intelligence officer.
Lyara: No I get it, you can’t tell me the super secret spy stuff.
Filistriend: Response
Before Lyara could tease the Petty Officer more the door to the cockpit opened up and Ensign Bergmen entered.
Bergmen: I looked at the data now, when the shuttle is in full run, and that replacement of relay 11-7 looks like did not resolve the issue we were talking about with the deck chief.
He handed her a PADD which Lyara took as she immediately started going over the data provided to her.
Bergmen: It shouldn't cause any problems for us now. After we land, I plan to install the switchgear to that relay until we return to Artemis and throw it back at the deck crew again. What do you think?
Lyara: As long as it doesn’t take too long. We’ll have some colonists to interview so keep that in mind.
She handed the PADD back to Ollie with a nod. Ollie predictably returned to his seat next to the Petty Officer and turned to face him.
Bergmen: So, Mr. Filistrien, how long do you serve? Do you like it at Artemis?
Filistrien: Response
Lyara raised an eyebrow at the officer's questions. While they could be innocent enough, she could tell they were not based on the way Bergmen existed near him.
Bergmen: Interesting… ::makes eye contact:: I did not see you much onboard. Are you staying late in that secret department of yours? Or do you go out sometimes?
Filistrien: Response
She rolled her eyes and rubbed her forehead at the now very obvious flirting happening in her cockpit. However, there was a simple solution she learned from her flight team. You can flirt as long as you help navigate.
Lyara: Alright love birds, if you’re up here you can help out with the navigation.
Filistrien/Bergmen: Response
She pointed to each of their consoles as a reminder that there is more to do while they talk.
Lyara: I don’t mind if you multitask at least, never said you can’t work and talk.
Alroyo gave a slight wink to the two of them as she turned back to her console to continue piloting and rolled her eyes now out of their line of sight. She would show mercy in the flirting department, for she was a benevolent overlord of the cockpit.
