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 am doing these all simultaneously so that people have a chance to post if they want to. I also went into your bio and pulled the stuff about your character paraphrasing it. I wanted it to seem like Perkins knew of it but allow you to elaborate. If I got anything wrong we can just lead me where you need it to go.~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.

So far the night was going well. He had laid the seeds of friendship with some of Kelly’s crew. While planting with a few was like cultivating a crop on pure granite, the act was still done. There were a few more however Perkins needed to touch base with. The next on his list was one Lt. Commander Ethan James Nash. The mans career was one of promise and disappointment. He was a exemplary officer rising through the ranks until the colony incident. After the incident Nash’s name caused a viscreal reaction whenever it was mentioned. There were those that served with him beforehand who almost lost their careers when he was jailed. There were those that had spent a better part of six years a using their clout and careers to free him from the Starfleet Prison Facility in New Zealand. These men and women supported Nash with an almost radical loyalty. As with every coin there was a second side. There were the people that did not see Nash’s role in the defense of the colony as something heroic. While his actions saved lives it was dangerous not dealing with someone who disobeyed order which Perkins could never back. When he gave an order it was meant to be followed without question however, Nash might serve a purpose in time. That was why Perkins would lay the ground work for it.

“Lt. Commander Nash,” Perkins said walking up to the man who was avoiding people but acting like he wasn’t avoiding people. “I would like to say I am sorry about the events of the colony and how things afterward transpired. I lost people there too.” Personally I think you should still be in jail especially after knocking out the Admiral during the Court Martial hearing. Bloody savage. “You were a hero. Starfleet was wrong,” Perkins snagged to drinks off a passing tray handing one to Nash. Perkins took a large swallow downing the contents. Then he flipped over the glass. This was a long standing tradition in the military. Drinking to someone that was lost. It could also be taken as Perkins toasting Nash and all that he lost. It could also be just a ploy, going through the actions. Depending on Nash’s next move, Perkins would get a glimpse at what was running through the officer’s head.
