Sol glanced over at Wyn, studying his face and body language for a moment. She could tell there was some doubts and some tension. It was only natural. No one really expected to be tapped to temporarily command one of the most important bases in the sector. Thats why he wouldn't be doing it alone.


Foster: I know you will.  ::he sucked in a breath:: I won’t lie, I’m a little freaked out. You’re the undercover specialist. You gotta let me know if I’m missing any critical information or if anything I say sounds stupid.


Sol chuckled and nodded.


McLaren: You know I will, Wyn. No CO in history has ever had all the information... :: She left unsaid that almost all of them said something stupid and one point or another. ::


Foster: I hate not having all the information. I never understood the people who love to live on the edge of chaos.


She hated not having all the information either. Thats why she had stayed in Intel for so long. She had made it her lifes work to gather as much information as she could. She chuckled slightly, sipping her drink.


McLaren: Boy Wyn... did you pick the wrong group to join then...


Foster: Yeah, I know, the whole mantra is to explore strange new worlds… but carefully and safely ::he grinned, understanding the irony.::


McLaren: As safe as we can anyway. :: She sipped her drink again. :: Plus you have me here to help make that a reality.


Foster: Honestly, if Taybrim hadn’t suggested you be at my side I would have either demanded it or said no.


She laughed. She had talked with Sal about her moving up... so she knew he had had that in his mind... but there had always been the chance the Command themselves would have blocked it, which would have likely been a blow to her ego, if nothing else. As it stood, it was temporary at the moment anyway, and she had no intention of keeping the position from Wyn if Gogi returned. Still hearing that from Wyn made her feel good.


McLaren: Then what say you, Captain?


Foster: Alright, a toast, to making this universe a bit better and keeping this good crew safe.


Sol lifted her glass, gently tapping it against Wyn's with a quiet tink.


McLaren: Well said.


Sol downed her glass and filled it once again, doing the same for Wyns, content to sit for the time being and enjoy the night. Tomorrow would be a briefing for their next mission, but tonight was just their to enjoy.
