== Ensign Petra Wolfen - Science NRC ==
With Owen having departed for the Medical Complex, Petra felt a twinge of envy for the briefest of moments before silently chastising herself for feeling that way. If the Chief had requested her friend for this task, then that was just the luck of the draw, especially since he was more or less her right-hand man when it came to running the complex in her or Devereaux's absence. Not that Petra spent much time with Lucy, having heard the whispered rumours regarding her warning from Miller, something that Petra didn't want to experience herself, because while Miller had a reputation for being kind and reasonable, you also didn't want to get on the wrong side of her.
There were other rumours, of course; however, Petra decided it was best not to listen to them, even though she'd happily admit to enjoying the odd salacious titbit, especially if it involved a hint of scandal, or if it revolved around who asked whom out, and who was avoiding someone. The Black Forest native then brought her thoughts back to the present, and as unexciting as it might seem, she still had a job to do, even if she wasn't in the heart of the action, so to speak.
She also had to keep her promise to Owen about not breaking anything, silly really, but it had gotten the desired reaction from the Irishman before he had departed. For now, though, she had to set aside her assumptions about what Owen was up to and watch the new data stream, knowing how important it was to record what was happening in real time. Before adjusting the sensors slightly, the alert almost became silent in the background as she focused.
