A small beeping went off, snapping Meia from her reverie. Collecting her thoughts, she realized what was causing the noise: the station's comm-link. Taking time for a small sigh, Meia quickly answered.
"Meia here."
"Ma'am, This is Sgt. Connor Sinclair, your acting XO until you have had time to assign your crew. We're forming up now for inspection, as per Taraakite custom. You requested to be notified before we were due to commence."
Meia's mind quickly recalled the information from the young man's dossier, which she had head shortly before reminiscing about her time on the Nirvana. Connor Sinclair, Male, mid-20s. Grey hair, red eyes. Solid commander, actually holds a rank of Lieutenant in the Taraak military. As part of the rank reshuffling for Project Eden, he was made Sgt for this station. His skills as a leader from the Damocles training exercise were primarily responsible for his assignment here. The men look up to him, while the women are sometimes in awe of him. Caution required when handling him: could prove dangerous if treated in a way he's not expected to be...
"Understood, Sgt. Sinclair. I will be along presently. Tell everyone that they should be prepared for a training exercise."
"Ma'am!" With a quick salute that, while proper, held a small tinge of irony and resentment, Sinclair cut off the feed before Meia could respond further.
"That man will be a problem. But not as much as the dossier I read before him..."
Taking a break from what would otherwise prove a bleak review, Meia quickly dressed in her standard flight suit from her time as a Dread pilot. essentially, this was simply a custom-designed vest or jersey which went on over her standard jumpsuit to provide additional warmth and comfort while piloting.
