=/\= Briefing Room =/\= Athena sat in her chair in the briefing room listening to the reports but said nothing. Other than the small smile she tried to give Shane she kept her expression neutral. She noted the briefest bit of surprise when the Colonel's gaze fell on hers, but neither gave anything away. Athena could sense the general feeling in the room as the meeting continued on and suggestions for what to do next was being presented. As the meeting came to an end and the new directives had been given Athena stood by the door and watched as everyone began to move into action. She waited to try and catch a word with Shane but that was not to be as Keylor demands his attention and Rangi was waiting to speak with him as well. As Rangi looked her way Athena looked away and left the room. Her marine escort was waiting for her and she gave him a slight nod as she walked passed him and onto the turbolift. The marine followed her in silence as he silently appreciated the graceful moves of the counselor. =/\= Counselor's Quarters =/\= Athena smiled at her marine escort as she walked through the door. An amused expression crossed her face as the door slide shut on the marine's return smile. She slipped off her shoes and sat down on the sofa tucking her leg up underneath her. She wondered how long it would be before Colonel Betram cornered her for a talk. She also wondered if the news of Rob to Rangi would be best handle by her, Rangi's father or Shane. Athena's thoughts let her drift off to happier times with Rob. Her mind had been drifting for a few minutes and then Athena snapped out of her revere and thought about the medical reports that she had skimmed through during the briefing. {Maybe a stop at sickbay is in order.} For her own amusement Athena slipped her shoes back on and went through the door adjoining her quarters and her office. She peeked outside the office door and saw the escort that Shane had left posted to her to help keep her from wondering away. She smiled stepped out of the office door and took the couple of steps that brought her up behind the marine and tapped him on the shoulder. "Ready to go," she asked innocently as a colorful array of feelings ran over the marines face. Regaining his composure the marine said, "I'd be more careful, If I were you counselor," and then motioned for her to lead the way. She smiled slyly and said, "I'll try to remember that." Athena took several steps down the hall and then said, "But please, be sure to tell the XO how cooperative I've been." The two remained silent the rest of the way to sickbay. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt.
