Due to her involvement with sorting out all of the pilot data and preparing it so that the preliminary match organizers could do their jobs, Jess was quite busy at the moment and would continue to be for the next week or so. However, when she saw Beth Raines was calling, someone she hadn't expected to return at all this season, let alone win her first match, she made an exception.<br/><br/>The director smiled politely into the holocomm and greeted the pilot, as uncomfortable as ever with being called "Ms. Redhart" by someone who was the same age, but letting it slide due to the circumstances.

Whenever something shady like this happens, they do everything they can to keep me out of it," the woman said wistfully. "I will tell you, though, that I think there's something going on there, too. There's no way a slower mech like Mr. Herman's could have hit Mira's without having done something to stun her," she stated, using the pilot's first name out of reflex. "I've been thinking about looking into this myself."
