<div class="floatright">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/mw-nmfkmpkarimonero_zps55a1bf27.jpg)</div><strong>Kari Moreno</strong><br/><strong>In her office, on the ship, in space</strong><br/><strong>Tagged: Allia</strong><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Dropship <em>Black Sun</em>, outbound<br/> Deneb Algedi, Benjamin District<br/>Draconis Combine<br/>1 January 3145</strong><br/><br/>“kiss my ass?” Kari laughed. “If anything, Allia, I feel like I should be kissing yours. You’ve been doing a fantastic job, really. I mean, all of you have… I know that Damien can be a bit of a tightass sometimes, but he’s done a great job of keeping the unit’s finances in shape. Marco has that ‘massive wall of metal’ thing going as well, which means that he’s a nicely intimidating presence on the battlefield. And Hiro, well, every now and then it’s actually good to have someone who will say what’s honourable and decent rather then just expedient”<br/><br/>She wanted to say something a moment, but let it slip, instead having another laugh at a private mental image.<br/><br/>“And hell, Allia, I’m glad as anything that you didn’t do what your father wanted,” She continued. “I mean, after all, that means my father wouldn’t have ever hired you, I wouldn’t have met you and I wouldn’t have you here to look after things, keep the unit going and stop me from doing something stupid or the like. So I’d say that it was a win all round, wouldn’t you?”<br/><br/>Kari smiled at the pink-haired lieutenant. “I’m sure that Moshe will be fine, simply because I know I can rely on you,” She explained. “He’s got problems, true, but I figure that if anyone can get him pointed in the right direction, you’re gonna be the one to do it.” She raised a little eyebrow at Allia’s surprisingly intimate touch, not concerned but maybe curious as to her intent.<br/>
