Posted by Commander Shara Calloway (Chief Intelligence Officer) in COS’s Office- Matters of Intelligence
Calloway knew the moment she started reading Gadi’s file that the two would likely get along swimmingly. Or at least not get in each other’s hair and drive the other crazy. There were lots of people with Intelligence backgrounds who were arrogant asses who regularly invited someone to want to dump them out an airlock. Bethany Gadi did not strike her as that kind of person. Now, it didn’t mean they’d be best friends, but they likely would understand each other and the work they did very well. Mutual respect, if nothing else.

Stepping up to the office, she wiped the chime button with her middle finger and waited.

“Come in!” a voice called from inside. It was a strange accent southern American continent mixed with a little Scottish lilt. Upon entering the only thing that could be seen were Gadi’s feet sticking out from the crawl space behind the bulk head in the corner of the small security office. Bethany had a PaDD in front of her inside the access hatch that was hooked up to the video feed. “Ah Cmdr Calloway, I’ll be right with you.” Bethany was messing with the computer interface, she got the tool she was holding into the junction to hold it open and reached for the part she needed, “Ugh, I hate being short.” She twisted around and with surprising flexibility, bent knee and hip and using her knee to slide the piece closer so she could grab it. She inserted the part and then pushed herself out of the small space and stood up. She walked over the few steps and offered her hand. “Pleasure to meet you. Have a seat. Sorry about the mess.” There was electronic tech everwhere.
