((USS Octavia E Butler - The Writers' Room))
Karen found herself among the others in that library-turned-bar. She was never truly at ease in such situations. Her empathetic abilities made her feel dizzy in such crowds, overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people and their emotions.
Rouiancet: Avander will no longer serve as director of intelligence, so I've requested a new officer for that position. Commander Walker has agreed to serve, and brings with her decades of experience. I look forward to working with her.
Everyone erupted in applause, so Karen joined in, clapping along while glancing around with a hint of bewilderment.
Rouiancet: Lhandon, from this time forth, you're no longer simply acting at your role, but you are now officially the Butler's assistant chief of operations.
Nilsen: Thank you, sir, It’s a privilege to count you as my friend. I promise I won’t cry this time.
Was Landho really the type to cry at ceremonies and promotions? It could be, Karen smiled at the thought.
It was then that Karen noticed Toz, not to be confused with Tox. Definitely two totally different types, yes. The doctor had immediately seemed affable, friendly, and competent in her work. However, these pleasant considerations had certainly not prompted her to anticipate her routine visits.
Sooner or later she would certainly have to cross that bridge. A bit like with the pilot certification test. Karen had been on LOA for a long time due to health problems and always had to have some checkups. Her DNA had been partially compromised by an alien device a few years earlier; for the device, her quarter of humanity was not good enough, but it couldn't survive very well without it.
Toz: ::whispering and turning to Karen:: Jack Kessler was cleared for duty, right?
Stendhal: Good morning, Doctor. It's a pleasure to see you again. Yes, Jack is fully and completely fit for duty! I can confirm that. Is everything okay with Jack?
Karen was relieved that the doctor had asked about Jack and not about her.
Toz: I was wanting to invite him to join medical, but… well, no matter.
Karen shrugged. If it didn't matter to the doctor, why should it matter to her?
Rouiancet: Please, feel free now to accept food and drink from the servers who will begin circulating around the room. I will join your tables to present individual ribbons as you do so. Remember to congratulate your shipmates!
Karen raised her glass with Toz, she had a glass of white wine.
Toz: oO Did I order this?? Why would I order this? I don't even like it. Oo
Stendhal: Sometimes they tend to guess what we would like to drink at these ceremonies.
They almost always bring me the same thing. I guess I have a champagne face.
She whispered to Toz smiling..
