Ju had to admit that she was glad to see Mara step through the doors. Mara was a friend and a great coworker though she liked to fly off the handle. No one really blamed her for all the drama in the Ready Room, least of all Ju, because it had taken everything in her power not to have her own moment when her boyfriend was arrested. Ju tried not to think too much about Damian because it didn't her any good and she hadn't heard anything from him which could be good or bad. It was best to keep her mind on the mission and try to make a name for herself finally. She knew that Crawford had taken a chance on her but she wanted to make that Crawford didn't regret her decision.
There was a massive knife .. sword.. something of some sort that Mara had pulled out of a sheath like a heathen holding it up and inspecting it before putting it back. Ju wondered if archaic weapons were part of the vibe for this mission. She knew that the Klingon had large weapons and perhaps Mara wanted to be prepared in case he had to go toe to toe with a Klingon wielding one of those sword things. Though Ju still figured a well-placed phaser shot might be the better bargain she didn't say anything because Mara had far more experience than she did at missions and Klingons.
Mara began to tell them what was going on and where they would be assigned. Ju hoped that she was be able to be of use and turns out she was part of the team that would go to Engineering. That brightened Ju up considerably because she knew a thing or two about various Engines and remembered taking a whole class on Klingon and other Federation-known vessels in the academy. Her team was tasked with figuring out if there was anything that was wrong or hinky. If they were transporting anything that they should be or whatever they might be up to.
Ju had no questions for the young Chief so she shook her head with everyone else. It was interesting to see Mara in her element it gave Ju more insight to her friend and honestly she was glad to see a familiar face on the away team even if Ju and she would be on different teams during the actual mission. The bridge commed in and told them they were cleared for take off which caused Ju to look over at Mara who gave the order in which everyone would be going off on the mission. Ju's stomach twisted with nerves but her nerves also buzzed with excitement because she was ready to actually go do something. Being busy was the best thing for her and she knew this was a chance to prove she wasn't just here as Damian's girlfriend.
After the drama in the Ready Room everyone had been giving her pitiful looks and sad faces as she walked around the ship. Whispers abounded about the drama surrounding his arrest and what that meant all together. She had heard whispers of people talking about if she would leave or not now that he was gone. Ju didn't rise to any of the bait because she wasn't like that. Time would tell if Damian was guilty, time she put into the ship would prove she was here because of the ship not her boyfriend, and time would cause the rumor mill to slow and hopefully at some point stop.
Ju checked that she had everything in order adjusting her Engineering kit on her shoulder she waited for her team's turn to disembark to the Klingon vessel.
