Commander Veyea and Maddie Fontaine<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Main Engneering<br/><strong>Tagging/Mentioning:</strong><br/><strong>NSFW Warning:</strong><br/><br/><br/>Veyea and Maddie had filed on amidst the rush of crew boarding The Redemotion. Veyea sighed as she stepped into Engineering with Maddie close behind jabbing her in the shoulder.<br/><br/>"A guildworm! Get it!" Maddie bollard slapping her sister on the arm as she hugged her middle.<br/><br/>Seeing faces turn in their direction Veyea glared at her sister blue eyes ablaze with warning. Maddie straightened and cleared her throat greeting the crew present with a smile, wink or nod depending on how friendly they looked.<br/><br/>Veyea sighed as they crossed main engineering toward the Chief Engineers office. "Winking at crewmates, Fontaine. Really?"<br/><br/>"What? It makes me seem friendly. I want em to know I'm approachable." Maddie assured with a bright grin.<br/><br/>"Approachable? Is that what you're going with?" Veyea asked raising a brow at her sister.<br/><br/>"It's better than my subordinates thinking they can't come to me, isn't it? If someone makes a mistake or has an idea I want my team to know we are just that. A team. If they don't succeed then neither do I." The serious long winded answer came with a shrug and pursed lips before that smile returned.<br/><br/>As they entered the Chief Engineers office Veyea whistled and nodded slowly gesturing around as she faced Maddie. "Lookie here. Now this is an office. Not like the shoebox you had on MS24. Very nice."<br/><br/>"It has a cot." Maddie eyebrows wiggled and she grinned causing Veyea the laugh the sound genuine. Maddie nodded I'm seriousness and walked over to the person console. "It is nice.  I'm liking the Redemption. Her engine is stunning if a bit picky and the warp core will give us quite a boost."<br/><br/>Veyea nodded. "The weapons systems are decent too. Worried about the shields though."<br/><br/>"Don't you worry. I heard the engineering  reward wee picked based on their experience with newer engines and innovative thinkers. We will have this beauty unstoppable by the time we are done." Maddie was beaming the excitement to get to work evident in her gleaming blue eyes and bright smile.<br/><br/>More reserved Veyea nodded slowly before sighing and suddenly looking sad.  "I have to get to medical and check in with the counselor and do tor. It was mandatory for my reassignment to be evaluated. I just want to get it over with."<br/><br/>Maddies smile fell soft and she reached out grabbing Veyea close putting their for heads together. There she held her sister breathing deeply until Veyea did the same. When she knew Veyea had calmed Maddie released her touching her cheek softly. "You are strong and will be back to yourself soon. Let them help you, Vey. It's a chance to start over."<br/><br/>Veyea had fallen into her sisters calm and Maddies hand on her cheek made the redhead smile. "You're right. Enjoy your first day; I'll check in when I can and see you at shift end."<br/><br/>Veyeah left her sister squeezing over how much more advanced The Redemption's systems were to the out of date medical station they had been stationed on before the ambush. As she left Engineering Veyea became apprehensive; why had she agreed to this? Talking didn't solve anything, the headaches wouldn't go away and her scar was too deep according to the starlet doctors she'd been seen by. There would be risk to her brain if they attempted to repair it.<br/>So why had she agreed to be seen by both a doctor and counselor? Veyea sighed as she stepped into the turbo lift and voiced her destination the door hissing closed. It was simple in the end; Veyea had come to keep Maddie happy as she'd sacrificed an offer to post on DS9 to stay with Veyeah as she'd healed. Space was Maddie great love and Veyea would be damned if she kept her sister from what made her truly happy.
