This series (especially Season 3) is phenomenal.

Your loyalty to him is also amazing. To put your career and reputation on the line for someone by vouching for them is truly remarkable. He is lucky to have you by his side, as is The Valiant to have you as part of the crew."

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 22

The morals and obligations are a sticky subject, especially when driven by the looming threat of war. With how much emotion he has shown he has, the fact that has shown no evident grudges is amazing. --->

In his case though, it’s a remarkable testament to his character and resolve. I can understand where the Epsilon crew were coming from at first, but as soon as he awakened their treatment of him should have changed. --->

Of course there will be a high commendation on file for your assistance.”
Eyeing the mug, Willow raised her eyebrow. “I forgot, you don’t have a liver, do you? I’m curious what you put in your coffee? As for XAS, I’m glad he’s reliable. Of course I had no doubts about any member of my crew. --->

She raised her eyebrow as she watched Tal raise her hand, she nodded to acknowledge her, surprise very evident on her face. “Wait, really? I would never say no to that honestly! I HATE paperwork. I will only agree to it though as long as it doesn’t overwork you. --->

The acknowledgement of her request made Willow smile. It was a small thing in the grand scheme of things but it made her feel like a person and not just a title. “Thank you,” she said simply, nodding her head. --->

I believe many - perhaps even unconsciously - chose to see him as nothing more than an accident; a technological fluke, as to not face the though that we were technically experimenting on a living, sentient person..."

Willow placed her hand on her chin as she thought. "You know, that actually makes perfect sense now that I think about it. Who knew such delicate, fleeting membranes could have a such a profound effect on the mind? It almost makes me want to write a research paper on it."

Tal raised one eyebrow with her gaze loosely following a fer of the bubbles.

"I suppose the effect is the same as when observing fish or lava lamps.
The slow movement has the observer calm down.
We instinctively know that bubbles will not do anything erratic, so we let our guard down...."

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 22

"Excellent," Willow smiled, watching the bubbles float around whimsically. "There is something almost magical about bubbles. They seem to melt stress and worries away."

Noticing Talsea’s hint of a smile, Willow gave her a soft smile in return. “I believe you, no worries. You vouching for him is enough for me.”

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 19

It hurts my heart to know that the Epsilon crew saw him as anything less than a fellow team member. As an Admiral in command of a ship this far out in space, I have jurisdiction and final say on matters of my crew.” --->

“As there have been no security incident reports I assume XAS has been behaving. From personal experience he’s a hard worker and very respectful. I see no issues at all with him being assigned to your team. --->

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 19

A list of needed positions would be amazing. It would make my discussions with the other Admirals easier. The more prepared I am, the easier it is.”
She looked around the room and nodded to herself before facing Talsea again. --->

Getting extra staff might require discussions and for us to make a trip back to the Sol system, but I don’t mind, as long as I don’t have to set foot into an office for more than a few minutes.”
She gave Tal a warm smile. “I am sorry that your department has been so understaffed. -->

And yes, I can make requests, usually during our regular meetings. If there's ever anything you need, request it of me before I have my meetings and I can probably get the others to sign off on it. If it’s a big request then the board discusses it and if not it’s usually approved pretty quickly. -->

“Glad to hear it,” she responded in a slightly strained voice. “By the way, I’d prefer you call me Willow and not Admiral when possible. ‘Admiral’ sounds so stuffy and unapproachable. The other Admirals may do so but I prefer not to use my title unless absolutely necessary. --->

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 19

Willow’s left eye visibly twitched at the mention of ‘small things’. Knowing Talsea it was not meant as a stab at her height, but she was so used to others making subtle jabs at her that she was always on alert for such comments. --->

"...If there are no legal issues or fleet regulations against Xas's involvement, both, him and I would be... Most grateful... For taking him into consideration actually."

For a moment a little smirk was almost to be see on her face.
"I can vow for his determination to cooperate if need be."

💫 what an excellent attempt! She looks so adorable! I love the way you've done her uniform, it's very clever actually!

Getting up from her seat, Willow went to collect the pile of pads but thought better of it. “I think these are better off here with you actually. As for assistance in the lab, you arrived with XAS the Kaylon correct? Would it be agreeable to you if I were to assign him here to assist you?”

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 12

“We could always use more crew, but not many people are willing to serve on a ship patrolling the edges of Union space. But I’ll see what I can do. I have a meeting with the other admirals tomorrow so I’ll bring it up with them.” --->

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 12

She nodded as she eyed the pile of pads as if it had personally insulted her. “I’ll let engineering and navigation know to expect your calculations by shift-end.”
Willow paused and nodded in agreement. --->

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 12

“I was literally staring at that pile for so long and had no idea where to start. I’m so grateful to you and your brain. I have no objections to your suggestions. You’re a specialist afterall and I’d be a fool to come to you for your advice and then not take it into consideration.” -->

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 12

Fascinated, Willow watched Talsea sort through the pads with an efficiency she hadn’t thought possible. She herself hadn’t even known where to start and had even felt a little overwhelmed so she was extremely grateful for Tal’s insight.
“Incredible,” she mused. --->

There was a realistic likelihood they were going to spaghettify if she did not account for any and all of the unlimited things that could go wrong...

"...You do make a point.
Perhaps we should consider expanding our staff.
I would not complain about additional assistance in the science lab."
