OCC. okay you don’t have to RP this if you don’t want to. I was just trying something past the boring meeting or conference. I am going to set up a scene just to get it started. If you don’t like it please erase what I said about what you were doing and create your own setting. I will role with it. I ~Kate.

Admiral Perkins surveyed the room. Kelly’s crew seemed distinctly loyal but there was always one. One officer that could be tempted to see the benefits of a casual relationship and the perks random updates could bring. Information was always more powerful than weapons. As he surveyed the room Perkins debates where to start. He had the dossiers on everyone. Now it was time to play on the cracks in their armor. Power was all about promises and Perkins was all about promises.

Spying a candidate Perkins casually walked up to Ensign Kai Oliver Kingstone. The young officer was brilliant. His first project in the academy on basic Stasis theory and construction of Stasis module for emergencies set the field ahead years. That was followed up by this engineering thesis project for his junior year on Bussard’s Collectors an the creation of an experimental improved Collector. Leaving the academy the cadet continued to shine on the USS Endeavour helping to create a Subspace alternative Light-Transmitted message designed to improve communication speed and reduction of time terms between traveling informations. There was a rumor of some new potential defensive weapon he and a Lt. Lexi Robins were exploring but the intell on this was sketchy. Every one of these projects had put the man on Perkins radar. With the correct grooming, this young officer could go places under his tutelage and help Perkin’s career in the process. Young officers always were good in this regard. WIth the right conversation they made you think you were part of the team yet the reality was they never had the power to get anything done. This is where Perkin’s came in. He had made a career and still did helping brilliant ideas come to the light and at least get part of the credit for it. Sipping his drink he moved across the room.

“Ensign Oliverston,” Perkins said warmly. “It is a true honor to meet you. I followed your career in the academy. While we never had a chance to formally meet you Sir have been the topic of many conversations among the Admiralty. We see great things for you in the future.” Extending his hand, Perkins waited for the young officer to shake it. Kill them with kindesss and flattery: It always worked especially for the hungery young officers.
