Annalynn soupira. "Mme Rama, trois choses. Tout d'abord, votre expérience de combat est appréciée, mais sans rapport avec la nature de la mission et annulée par la nature de votre décharge du Corps des Marines. Deuxièmement, vous n'êtes pas en mesure d'assumer la responsabilité des décisions tactiques du navire, étant donné que vous ne dépassez pas les effectifs actuels de l'équipage en service, alors encore une fois, bien que votre expertise tactique soit appréciée, nous devons toujours prendre des décisions en tant qu'équipage. Cela signifie une coopération, Kal, pas une dictature." Annalynn a commencé à avoir l'air d'une sorte de mère enseignante, mais ce n'était pas quelque chose que Kal n'aurait pas l'habitude de faire. Annalynn a dû s'occuper beaucoup trop de l'équipage que ses propres enfants ces derniers jours.
Elle a poursuivi : « Et enfin, merci d'avoir si éloquemment reformulé le plan qui a déjà été discuté et développé. Votre contribution est appréciée. » Annalynn sourit, espérant tranquillement que l'agression passive se ferait sentir dans la pièce et Kal reculait légèrement.
Sur la deuxième pensée, Annalynn a réalisé que son agression passive était tout aussi susceptible de retourner en arrière sur elle autant qu'il était de travailler. Merde.
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!)
