Una couldn't quite believe the flurry of attention she was receiving, her gaze darting around the room. She was defying her father Cettola's warnings to keep a low profile, but lately, she had been hard to miss. Still, her recent successes made it hard to argue with her choices.

Promontory: Shall we? (indicated the crowds) Maybe we divide and conquer?

Rouiancet: Yes, let's. But then let's meet up again. I don't want to miss out on you for the whole reception.

Promontory: Response

The captain and first officer were closing in. Again. She took a step back, then another, and began to turn, searching for a graceful escape. The jig was up. They were about to pin something on her, probably a privacy breach for snooping in high-ranking officers' files. Or maybe they'd found out about her little replicator credit scheme, diverting resources from engineering and other departments. Or something else entirely. Let's just say she'd been bending the rules a bit.

Rouiancet: Hello, Una!

Qualunque: Oh hello Captain, hello number One... I can explain...
She started to say a bit shy, but the Cap shook her head.

Rouiancet: Congratulations on the ribbon. You more than earned it, with your quick thinking and, well, innovation. (beat) Have you thought before about training as an officer? You definitely displayed officer thinking.

To Una's relief, the captain seemed unconcerned about her minor infractions. She decided to let the matter drop, though Promontory's stern expression was still unsettling.

Qualunque: Oh, the ribbon! Yes, thank you very much! This is the first time I've ever gotten one. Wait, what did you say? Me? Training as an officer?
She almost laughed, but the Captain was dead serious.

Rouiancet/Promontory: Response.

Qualunque: You know, Captain, I started the academy, but there was an accident where a colleague lost her life. So I quit because of the shock.

Rouiancet/Promontory: Response.
