=/\= Conference Room =/\= As Athena sat in her chair waiting for the meeting to start, she noted Rangi's entrance and she sensed her disgust. {Like I have a choice of where to sit.} She hadn't made it to the meeting too long before the CMO had shown up. When it looked like the meeting was going to get started another person entered. {Martin .... interesting.} Athena remained silent and listened to the different departments report in on their status. Athena rarely reported anything due to the confidential nature of what she did. If she had anything to report about a crew member it was usually in private with the CO or the XO and on occasion both. Athena was glad to be leaving the Tetris system. In her opinion they couldn't be leaving quick enough. She couldn't help the anxiousness that she felt about the up coming mission though. The crew actually did a really good job of adapting when they needed to which was probably part of the reason they had all been put together. Sometimes, however, she just couldn't help but wonder if the pencil pushers of command really knew what they were doing. Her gaze fell to Shane momentarily before she averted it elsewhere. {I didn't realize how hard it would be to pretend that someone who was sitting beside you wasn't their at all.} Athena kept all interaction with Shane as professional as possible and tried to ignore whatever she sensed from him. {Annoyance and Curiosity are hard to ignore though.} The sooner they got on with the new mission briefing the sooner she could get out of this awkward situation. {Get to the point} she thought silently and willed the meeting to move a bit faster. =/\= End Log =/\= Lt.
