Tossing off a quick "Aye, sir." in acknowledgement, Claudia turns away from the pilot-officer, gliding easily across the room.  Others might question why she seemed to move gracefully more than with determination; for them, Claudia would have an answer ready.  Just as the captain had to maintain an air of authority at all times, so did she have to maintain an air of beauty and mystery in order to properly execute her duties.  At all times, even during crisis.<br/><br/>As she takes a seat near Axis, she gives him a small nod and smile after the barest of hesitations.  The capacity for violence that the arch-militants had was not something she was entirely used to.  Still, she gives no further sign of her mild discomfort as she activates the comm system, synchronizing it with his.  The smile she flashes this time is more genuine, her bright blue eyes lighting up.  "Let's do it."<br/><br/>Activating her comms, she waits for the arch-militant to give the general order to the gunners before adding her embellishment.  Leaning forward, she speaks into the pickup, so close that her soft lips almost touch it as she speaks softly, as though her words are being whispered in the gunner's ears.  "Seneschal Claudia Adler, observing.  This is for the captain.  Our eyes are on you.  Bring them down."  She deactivates the comm, but leaves the system engaged, ready to offer more praise, or condemnation, as appropriate.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Put your backs into it...
