After leaving the meeting with the CEO, Kalli headed back to work. Her mind was still digesting the conversation though. Everyone was different and she had worked with bad supervisors and good ones too. It was her opinion that Niels was of the better ones. He was polite, professional and appeared to know his stuff. The fact that he also had a thing for coffee made her grin to herself. She liked that it had provided a small glimpse into his personal world without it being anything intrusive. Immediately, his girlfriend came to mind. Their introduction in Ten Forward had not gone well. She rolled her eyes as she thought about how territorial the woman had been. Niels was nice enough, but not really her type. That though made her wonder if she really had a type. She had only had the one serious relationship.

The wave of emotions that hit her snuck up on her. Those thoughts about Barjax still struck a chord somewhere deep in her heart. After taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, the moment passed, but it had surprised her. it had been a long time since she had missed someone that strongly. Oddly, it seemed that all of the people she missed were dead. There was probably something to that, but she was not prepared to dig into it right at the moment, so she pushed it to the back of her mind.

She felt something and placed a hand to the bulkhead. They had increased speed, but not to a panic. Not too much later, she felt them not only slowing down, but they had come to a halt. Dropping out of warp was easy to notice, but it was the lack of the impulse engines that got her attention. A quick reference check of their current location made her eyes go wide. They had stopped right at the edge of the border. Why were they so close? Something was up. That was when they went to Yellow Alert and her mind was suddenly all business.

Kalli's pulse picked up just a little and her mood changed. This was no time for a stroll down memory lane. Her self-indulgent thoughts about her dead boyfriend would have to wait.
