Tyra leaned back as Calleja surged full steam ahead at the bait, a tiny bit of satisfaction simmer just under the surface. While nothing Tyra had said was a lie, including her insecurity about forcing officers into responsibilities they didn't want, there had been the dual desire to make Calleja advocate for herself. Yes, Tyra preferred humility and humbleness in her officers -- though the Jenny's of the world had their place in her affection -- but she also wanted an officer willing to sell themselves when the time came. While she had no doubt, Calleja could advocate and fight for her people, she'd likely need to learn to take the same care with herself.
“I know I’m not the perfect candidate,” Calleja said. “And I’m not sayin’ I’m gonna do a perfect job because we know that ain’t possible. But I’m ready to give it my best shot. And hell, maybe in a couple of years you’ll be tellin’ people about how that big bitch who derailed a briefin’ in front of 2 crews turned out OK in the end.”
"I'm not looking for perfection or the perfect candidate. The perfect candidate can go to a ship with a young captain whose likely to get everyone killed out of inexperience; I'd rather have the rough edges that can be polished down with enough experience and guidance," Tyra answered confidently, blue eyes watching Calleja over her mug.
Truth be told, Calleja had been both Miller and Damian's recommendation and while Tyra would have preferred to have sat down with Damian to discuss the recommendation, she also hadn't felt there was time to delay this particular conversation for the sake of roping her first officer into an assuredly uncomfortable conversation. And she hadn’t disagreed with either recommendation, though she knew the timing wasn't ideal. There was a very real chance she was setting Calleja up in this spot only to be pulled away before she could make sure she had everything she needed to succeed.
The timing of it all was also why she was considering making Calleja the Chief outright instead of in an acting status as had become her recent habit. The last thing she wanted was to give Calleja acting Chief only to be pulled away and her predecessor have different ideas. It wasn't fair and it wouldn't be setting Artemis up for success. Plus, if she was getting pulled, Calleja had the potential to be the type of pain in the ass that her predecessor deserved, just out of spite.
"Given everything going on, I'm not sure I'm doing you any favors by putting you in this position but I can't think of anyone I'd rather see wearing that jacket," she stated, pausing purposefully before continuing. "Congratulations. It'll be effective at 0800 tomorrow morning, full Chief with no acting but I need you to understand that we are going to be under a magnify glass regardless of how everything shakes up so please help me keep everything in order and buttoned down."
"With that done, any questions for me before you resume full control of the chaos that is a security department?"
