== It's all good :-) ==
Aeryn smiled warmly as Ju responded to her, although she would have been remiss not to notice how the engineer's smile didn't quite reach her eyes. Understandable considering what had happened the previous evening, and how Aeryn herself still hadn't fully come to terms with it. It was one thing to see her friend and mentor marched away under the most awful of circumstances, so she could only begin to imagine how Ju must feel as she knew Damian on a more intimate level.
The CSO did know how valuable it was to find a suitable distraction, something to focus on so you couldn't dwell on events or the repercussions that came with trying not to show your true emotions. So, while they didn't know each other that well, Aeryn was determined to help Ju as much as she could.
When Ju spoke again, her attention shifting to the reason why she was there, Aeryn was able to answer the engineer, as she picked up the PADD containing the probe schematics. " I do, and I've set aside one of our larger labs to make it easier for us to work on the probes. There's nothing wrong with being a little early, as I've always been that way, so yes, we can definitely get started".
Aeryn then paused for a moment, as she considered if she should say something about Damian or not, before settling on what made the most sense, leaving it open for Ju to answer if she wanted to.
" Before we go, I just wanted to let you know that I'm here if you need to vent, talk, or want to get drunk".
The Commander had survived some of the worst times in her life and was still there to show for it, so she wasn't going to sit by and not do anything.
