Maria nods to Misa when she informs her that she must be the one to deliver the black box. Out in the wall, Maria continues to herd the tubby little shit towards the living quarters. She only stops when she hears Lt. Wilson call out to her. Turning to a Sailor she orders him to make sure Mr. Cromwell finds his quarters to empty it. She stands in the hall way and waits for Wade to catch up with her. His words were comforting as they showed he bore her no ill will. "Thank you very much, Lt. Wilson. Yes, My husband is a great Man. Just like you, Wade." She did give him a chuckle and a flash of her pearly whites when he mentioned the magazine. "Nah, I best let you keep it. You seemed particularly interested in that One article." She teased back. With that last smile, Maria bid farewell to Wade and the Musashi. "I will Lieutenant. You take care as well. Protect your squadron." She said before having to turn around. She didn't want anyone to see her crying. The Musashi was her second home.<br/><br/>Maria would have had a stellar career in the EDF if not for one incident where she decked a Flag Ranked officer cause he was trying to grope her. While the Court marshal should have gone in her favor, The Flag Ranked Officer in question had quite a few powerful connections that got him out of it and her on the chopping block. Maria was resentful about being forced out of the EDF because of that. It nearly destroyed her marriage. However, when she was at her lowest, She found a Ray of Hope in Jeremy Black. Who, at the time, was recruiting crew members for a ship. He treated her no differently than any other member. She earned her way just like everyone else. Jeremy was always a fair Captain.<br/><br/>Back on the bridge, Admiral Burnside looked as the Young girl from the Radar station as she requested her audience. "Like the Captain, I can't say Yes, or No until I hear the request, but please feel free to ask." Amelia stated.
