Lucy gave her options due consideration. She didn’t feel that she needed coffee, yet, and she wasn’t quite certain about a glass of water as that would make it feel too formal. She decided on a simple hot chocolate as it would dial down her nerves a touch and give her a focal point.
She sat carefully across from Aeryn placing the warm mug on the table. She couldn’t remember if she’d had a meeting like this on the Apollo. There had been counselling after Dvorak, but she couldn’t tell if she’d gone through the motions without actually doing anything constructive.
She looked at her department head, but couldn’t think of what she was meant to say. Protocols and procedures were strange things. They were meant to maintain order or functionality. Captain Givens was meant to be auditing or assessing the crew after the mission to find the Gryphon, or something to that effect, but this was different.
What do you do with a problem like Lucy?
Definitely not a convent in the Austrian Alps or there abouts. Lucy was quite a different box of cats.
