Salle de réunion
Enfin, les barres de bonbons ont été livrées dans les quartiers personnels de Kal, une salle plutôt spartiate remplie d'équipement d'exercice et de boîtes vides pleines d'emballages de barres de bonbons, et l'enseigne Mallory a été congédiée pour poursuivre son travail ou assister à la réunion avec son supérieur à sa guise.
Les portes de la salle de réunion ont glissé ouvertes, ou ils auraient eu l'Audacia n'était pas le vieil oiseau qu'il était. Au lieu de cela, ils ont été coincés à mi-chemin de l'ouverture. Kal a forcé les portes pneumatiques en acier à ouvrir le reste du chemin et est entré dans la salle de réunion.
"D'accord, finissons cette merde," dit-elle, assis sur sa chaise et reposant ses pieds sur la table. "Qui a foiré et comment, et étaient-ils parmi les miens? Est-ce que c'était encore chrétien? Ou est-ce qu'on va juste tirer sur le capitaine pour la millionième fois et espérer qu'Aladin va se frotter la bite magique et faire tout mieux si on continue à en parler sans rien faire?"
Kal avait prôné une mission de recherche et de sauvetage complète (avec des réquisitions de l'Union) pour le capitaine à maintes reprises, de façon « ne jamais laisser derrière lui un navire ». Cependant, elle avait été niée à chaque fois.
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!)
