A huge sense of relief fell over her just then. The enemy had been destroyed, she got to see how the new weapons were doing and was pleased with the results, and the crew was cheering. The alerts went silent; there was nobody else around but them for now. And there was an overall sense of accomplishment and it made her feel good. By the look on Ericâ€™s face he was relieved as well, now that this was finally over with. She was a bit embarrassed for having doubted them in ensuring this worked. Kat really needed to learn how to trust her partners a little better, she reminded herself, since it would be useful in the future. However, they were lucky that they had acted when they did, otherwise it would have been fatal and possibly the end of them.<br/><br/>She leaned back in her chair with a soft exhale and a faint smile, looking out the window herself. After that bit of excitement she felt like she needed some champagne. Kat redirected her smile at Eric when he commented she had good aim. After all she wasnâ€™t a weapons expert for nothing.<br/><br/>In her mind the two of them made a nice team in the end.<br/><br/>Her specialty was self defense, but she had a soft spot for guns and other such weapons, and would often go to the shooting range back home to improve her aim. For hours she would mindlessly shoot her gun, almost obsessed with becoming better, until her trigger finger was sore. Some people called her crazy, but to her this was one of those times where that really paid off. Controlling an entire shipâ€™s cannon was different from shooting a handgun but nonetheless it was still a weapon. If only her grandfather could see her nowâ€¦ At times like this she couldnâ€™t help but think about him, constantly hanging onto his memory so she had someone to be proud of her. She wished she could show him how far she had comeâ€¦<br/><br/>At the sound of the commanderâ€™s voice, Kat looked over to him, a bit puzzled. Her face was neutral despite, and she gave a nod. â€œYes, sir, Iâ€™ll be right there,â€ there was hesitation in her voice but she remained respectful. Usually when a commander asked to see her it wasnâ€™t a good sign. Sheâ€™s been a bitâ€¦ troublesomeâ€¦ in the past but has redeemed herself quite well these past years. Bracing herself, she stood from her seat and followed the commander.
