Finding it to be upsetting that they were still nowhere near a planet to call home but that was not going to discourage her from the mission. â€œWe should also be thanking you for the help you gave to our ship and one of our pilots who I am sure is grateful for your assistance as wellâ€¦â€ the captain said turning a bit to wave to Angela who glared at the staff who nodded and allowed her to get up. <br/><br/>Walking to the small group, her arm around her side the only sign of her injuries, the wound on her forehead once again healed and not even showing a scar, â€œLieutenant Angela Jones, this is Dren Falon and the Nekan Space Force, he is the pilot who helped you and the Stalking Cat to return to the ship safelyâ€ Captain Troy spoke in a simple introduction for the two. <br/><br/>Angela looked to Dren noting his cat like features, more pronounced then her own, his strange scent filling her nose making her ears twitch and tail flicking slowly from side to side as she studied him for a moment before giving him an incline of her head to him, â€œThank you for your assistance earlier today. And forgive me for my rude transmission as wellâ€¦.the heat and battle and allâ€¦â€ she said with a smirk and a shrug. <br/><br/>The captain smiled at the exchange, â€œWell it seems that we are on our way to being friends, donâ€™t worry about the hacking the system thing. Our initial check of the system shows that the hacking that you did had nothing to do with our system errors, something else has gone wrong that we are looking intoâ€¦â€ her voice trailed off for a moment as she tried once again just what that â€˜somethingâ€™ could be. Sighing she focused back on the current situation, â€œWhen you are cleared to leave here you will be put into Angelaâ€™s charge, she will show you around the ship and set you up with a place to stay. When more of this situation is settled and I have full reports you, along with my other pilots will be called to my conference room and a full debriefing will be done. Is that understood?â€ she said looking to both Dren and Angela, who nodded immediately. When she had gotten both answers she turned and left the medical bay, after a brief discussion with the senior medical officer, heading back to her office to work and begin sifting through the ton of paperwork she knew was waiting for her. <br/>With the captain gone the senior medical officer came over to Dren, â€œYou are actually free to go, getting a good hot meal in you should help make you feel better and help you recover faster than the supplements we are giving youâ€ he said with a cheery smile to Dren then a glare to Angela, â€œYou are good to go as wellâ€ he said with much annoyance in his voice for the trouble she had caused. Angela only growled at him then looked to Dren, â€œWant to get something to eat?â€<br/><br/>Veronica felt conflicted as his lips met her own and he began to pull away from her, she did not like how he looked, how he carried himself, it was not right. â€œI could helpâ€¦â€ she called out suddenly. â€œI have to report to the captain later today for not being at my station and well it would be nice to be able to bring her something that will help to distract her from that point even if it is just for a little bitâ€¦â€ she said with an easy smile, hoping he would agree to allowing her to help him even if it was to mainly keep him company.</div></blockquote>
