Sienna couldn’t miss the look she received from the XO at her name, well, at least she couldn't after the surprise from her approach.  The young redhead could already imagine the thoughts going through the man’s head.  All of them probably focused on the facts that her name linked her to her rich mother, and probably thought she was going to be some bratty debutant or some such nonsense.  Those attitudes as well as her dreams were what pushed her in the military.  But then, as the XO was showing the look that she had received multiple times, and her trainers when she tried being a pilot had the same look.  The judging and thinking they new what she was gonna be like just because of her mother.  This isn’t going to be a fun assignment, she thought to herself.<br/><br/>The list of what was in her information file was accurate but brief. Sienna dropped her salute during the little introduction, and suddenly looked far less happy to be there, to finally be on a ship.<span style="color: DarkRed">“Aye, Aye, Sir.”</span>Sienna confirmed the order before moving off to the seat currently occupied by another Lieutenant, one rank higher, and the end of his shift.  He gave up his seat to the young woman as he signed out of the controls.<br/><br/>It was a good thing that she had taken the time to change out of her service dress into her work uniform in the rush to get up to the bridge.  It was much more comfortable than the service dress in the seats they had on the bridge, And she was happy she had as she took the bridge chair.  Unlike the lieutenant she was replacing though, she actually took the belt for the chair and strapped it on, proof she was fresh out of the academy.<span style="color: YellowGreen">“Good luck LTG, the XO is a hard ass.”</span>He whispered to her before departing the bridge of whatever he did outside his shift.<br/><br/>With just a short sigh to herself, Sienna focused on personalizing the console, after using her hand to pull her ship profile, and to identify who she was.  Of course because her information in the ship's database was there wasn't anything but her information file, and her clearances.  The consoles in front of her light up with the default configuration.  That she began to move everything around, including the stuff on her holographic display.  She put the local area's starmap, zoomed in to show Luna, Earth, and the very edge of the asteroid belt.  To the left of that she put a holo-display of some sensor data showing the view of the front of the ship.  After that was set up she had the holo display show pertinent data such as acceleration, trajectory, and other nav data that she would.  At her fingertips was the nav control console.  The manual controls were hidden within the compartment under the touch pad console.<br/><br/>Sienna though wasn't sure what the mission was, what they were going to be doing, she hadn't been at all briefed on any mission, so she couldn't input any data to plot a course into the nav computer.  That she waited to get the orders on where to go, or where to guide the ship.  Though she couldn't help looking around at the bridge at everyone there as they did their shift turnovers.  Though she did catch the looks between the captain and the Executive Officer.  She looked away quickly.<span style="color: DarkRed">“Prepared for departure, just waiting on clearance and exit trajectory from Dock Control.”</span><br/><br/><b>New York Metropolis<br/>
Current Local Time</b><br/><br/>Her daughter, well both of them really, were safe on that destroyer.  Alicia wasn't supposed to know anything about that ship, but she did thanks to Shakti before she gave her up to her unknowing daughter.  That mission was why she was comfortable about them both being on the ship, it was swarming with spooks.  Whoever had been looking into Shakti would not reach either of them on that ship.  Though the same couldn't be said for her.<br/><br/>That didn't really mean anything for her though, just a little lying when it came to it.  Though she didn't expect much, there was zero evidence in her home that Shakti had been there ever.  The core itself had been dismantled and used to make the core at the Cry-Tek headquarters building, and some of the first PC devices for the personal AIs.  And that first one hag gotten her the needed loan to found the company that made her rich.  And she loved having the money she had never had during her childhood, through Sienna did not appreciate the money.<br/><br/>Hell, her daughter hated the attention, some of her 'party' nights were ruined by reporters or such catching her at some embarrassing situations.  She knew that was the big reason her daughter had ran off to join the Navy other than the dream to be a fighter pilot.  It got her away from the attention of being the child of someone rich and semi-famous.  Thankfully that disdain put her far away from whoever was hunting the AI, and if they did locate anything, it was only Alicia in the way.<br/><br/>After having seen her daughter off, and having dropped the C-3 AI in her hands, Alicia had headed to work to get a few meetings out of the way before heading back home.  Once there she sat herself down in her couch in front of the wall holo-screen.  She was reading business reports on one side of the screen, while the news played on a fourth of the screen, and a drama filled the last bit.  Yeah she loved having money to be able to afford things like what she had in the suite.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
