(( ooc: Hope you don’t mind, wanted to carry this one on a bit more ))
Promontory: Anything particularly concerning?
Henri: oO Now’s your chance, promotions start today and this is your chance to make sure he stays where he belongs, right? Oo
This felt wrong to Toxin. He wasn't out to prevent Lhandon from moving up, but rather to keep him from acting like he owned the place. This was Toxin's department, not Lhandon's. Henri was right about that part, but not about holding him back.
Arlill: Well (beat) Nothing I can’t handle internally. (beat) I appreciate your listening though.
Promontory: I see. (beat) How about yourself, how are you doing?
Arlill: Arlill: It's been a stressful few months, largely due to changing ships and a series of challenging missions. (beat) I imagine we're all feeling the strain.
Promontory: Fair enough.
Toxin noticed the longer pause that Avander was leaving for him, an opportunity to no doubt add more.
Promontory: Well, if that’s it…
Arlill: Actually, I had a bit of a more personal question, (beat) well professional that is.
Promontory: Response
Arlill: We went through the same Starfleet class. I can’t help but be a little jealous at how successful you’ve been, you know, moving up so quickly.
Promontory: Response
Arlill: Oh, well I know, Jealous might be too harsh of a word. (beat) I’m just curious where I might step up more, get more noticed.
Henri: oO That-a-boy Tox, you look out for us! Oo
Promontory: Response
Arlill: I dunno, I don’t see myself being Ops Chief for the rest of my career.
