Location: ADAMS Headquarters (First Haven, Watcher’s Island). The Pilot’s Barracks<br/>Date: 5 January 2099. Monday<br/>Time: Afternoon<br/>Who: Julie Tanaka<br/><br/><hr/><br/>“I, um, thank you, Sir.” Julie said quietly to the departing Collins. Her own tone carried obvious trepidation. She wanted to be absolutely sure she did not sound disrespectful. But on the other hand, if she sounded too appreciative to their superior that might offend Harker. She did not want to inadvertently take sides in some disagreement she knew nothing about.<br/><br/>Once Collins was gone, she looked to Harker. She really felt like she ought to say something to defuse the tension in the air, but she was at a loss for words. “So, I’m... really looking forward to seeing... things...” She paused awkwardly. “Can I put this somewhere?” she finally asked, lifting the box with her new uniform slightly higher to indicate it.
