Une main exceptionnellement ferme posa ce qui semblait être la poignée d'un ours sur l'épaule de l'enseigne Mallory, écraseant l'articulation disloquée.
"Hé, Christian. Arrête d'agir comme si tu allais fouiller le joint et viens m'aider avec quelque chose."
En se retournant, il remarquerait que son supérieur portait un bras plein de barres de protéines et de granola, Snickers, Babe Ruths, 3 Mousquetaires, et (le plus approprié de tous) Voies lactées. Derrière elle était un chariot de service chargé de boîte après boîte de la même, des centaines sinon des milliers de barres de bonbons à forte intensité énergétique emballés avec des glucides et des sucres. Elle mâchait sur un Snickers partiellement ouvert, le manipulant comme un de ses cigares. Elle voulait sans doute qu'il pousse la charrette.
"Quoi, vous êtes sourd Mallory? J'ai dit maintenant, gros bébé."
Kal l'a dit avec fermeté, ce qui signifie que Mallory n'avait pas beaucoup de choix en la matière. Vous voyez, la patronne était plus que consciente de l'activité illicite qu'il menait au port et à bord du navire. Il était difficile de tromper les yeux et les oreilles d'un super-soldat, mais heureusement pour l'enseigne, tout ce qui aurait pu constituer une violation potentielle du protocole à bord du navire ne semblait pas la déranger s'il ne s'agissait pas d'un canon fumant ou d'une fusillade nue. Elle l'a laissé faire son affaire, qu'il l'ait réalisé ou non, et même gardé un secret des autres, mais une telle patience avait ses limites...
NAME: Dr. Annalynn O’Neil, commonly nicknamed Bolts
RANK: Technically a Commander as she heads the Sciences department, but has the real-life military experience of a rookie.
DEPARTMENT, POSITION: Sciences, Department Head (Weapons R&D Focus)
RACE: Human
AGE: 34
GENDER: Female
APPEARANCE: 

Measuring up at a meager 5’3 and barely breaking a hundred and ten pounds, it’s not hard to see why Annalynn isn’t the military type. She’s often well dressed and in clean, well-kept condition - impressive, given that she spends much of her time on military ships.
SHORT BIO: Annalynn was born into a military family with a long line of members serving in the Union Fleet. With a doctorate in mechanical physics, additional degrees in politics and psychology, and a lifetime of experience putting weapons together both large and small scale, Annalynn was approached by the Union Fleet to run weapons development programs on its ships. It was an easy choice for her, given the pressure from her family. However, by the time she served on her first ship, she was 32, having spent much of her life in school. As such, her practical experience is extremely limited, though it’s hard to argue with her intellect.
PERSONALITY: If she wasn’t a scientist, Annalynn would probably have been a politician. She is extremely good at maintaining her composure in heated social situations, and is an intensely charismatic individual, sometimes to the point of overwhelming those around her. She’s an extrovert, of course, but she’s not obnoxious about it - Annalynn knows how to mind her manners.
In addition, Annalynn stands by the age-old idiom, “knowledge is power.” She places intellect and facts before anything else, though the well-being of her friends and colleagues is a close second on her list of priorities.
TALENTS:

She can build you a gun, and a damn good one at that. It doesn’t matter how big or small it is, Annalynn can build it.
Maintains her composure in heated situations better than most politicians
An excellent people person
Strong respect for the chain of command

FLAWS:

Physically a very weak person
No combat or tactical experience
Relentlessly holds to her opinion until proven wrong. At least she’ll be polite about it.
Strong respect for the chain of command (hey, some people see it as a fault!)
