Ack.  Just now found out I wasn't playing Neesia, too.  ^_^;;<br/><br/>So, in case you want to see how she would have reacted to Shaa if she'd been there, Cap, here's what the post would have been.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9f/Neesia_Calrissian.jpg)</div><strong>Neesia Calrisian</strong> (https://docs.google.com/document/d/113enTKIS9fCnl5kZiTUMw5BVHexu1SaINNH5ThawqG4/edit)<br/><br/>   <em>Someone</em> Nesia Calrisian observed quietly, <em>Feels entirely too much need to justify himself.  Wonder what makes him hate himself so much?</em>  <br/><br/>   There was a small temptation to mouth off at the Kel Dor, but Neesia wasn't that petty, and she'd picked up too much protocol in the last two and a half years to be actively disrespectful at a briefing.  <em>The Colonel always had a soft spot for a hard luck case--and a willingness to grab talent wherever he found it.  I know that better than most!</em>  <br/><br/>   Neesia met Lal's eyes too, boldly and with a hint of feral grin.  <em>So that's a Vong?  Not as ugly as I’d been led to believe.  Still ugly...  But probably more feminine than I am, what with the nice top knot and pretty piercings.  I wonder how many times she's had those torn out of her ears?  Still, she looks tough enough to go a few rounds with.  Maybe she'll box sometime.  </em><br/><br/>   The black girl followed the Vong's example by rising.   Busty, powerfully built, and taller than most men, she was an imposing sight, but she wore an easy smile.  She was also young—not quite twenty.  Wearing denim trousers and a half-tunic might have illustrated the power of her tight black abs, but they didn't do anything to make her look more mature or professional.  Her hair was in tight kinky curls that sprang wildly behind her.  She carried no obvious weapons, but a pair of thick gloves and a set of goggles were tucked through the utility belt that slung over her hips.  <br/><br/>   “Call me Neesia,” She began.  “I'm a gear head, jack of all trades, problem solver.  If it can be fixed, I can fix it.  If it's working, I can make it work better.  If it's hassling us, I can punch it in the face 'til it stops.  <br/><br/>   “I've worked for the colonel for almost three years now.  Before that I was Aramythra Stations top shock boxer.  I've also studied under an echnai master—and I'm a decent shot with a blaster too.”  <br/></div></div>
