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 stuff 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.

Perkins adjusted his collar wanting to undo it, slide off his shoes, and get drunk reading the many reports on his desk. Knowledge was power and Perkins was all about power. Tonight was going to be all work. He needed to find someone on the crew he could be pen pals with. Scanning the room he saw Lt. Commander Ashlynn Summers. The medical chiefs career was impeccable. Her personal life was far less stellar. In fact officers like her and Nash tended to be the easiest to convert. They often were driven somewhere deep inside by revenge. Revenge against those that wronged them. In Nash’s case it was complex but in Summer’s case it was easy. It was all about her ex-husband Gary Waters. Perkins had no idea how to find him but the promise of being able to was powerful and Perkins was all about the impossible promise.

“Lt. Commander,” Perkins walked up to Ashlynn. “Your daughter is going to love this new ship,” he said with a smile. “I am not sure how but Ian did it but you got the upgraded entertainment package from OMAP. I also heard there was going to be an ice rink. God I hate you Kelly going to change her name the next time you meet a hot tart Bordeaux I think that is creative and fun. Tell me how old is your daughter....Allie I think her name was,” Perkins took a sip of his drink.

Ashlynn looked up “She’s six. Why?” Ash asked hesitant to discuss her daughter with anyone that she really didn’t know “I saw the specifications of the new ship and I’m sure she will like it.” Ashlynn said not particulary liking Perkins demeanor “What are your thoughts on the new ship?” She asked taking a drink of her water.

“I think it will be a fine ship for the right crew under the right commander,” Perkins looked around the room. “It is a much larger vessel. It also has a large percentage of civilians. Starfleet is required to vette all personal on a ship but they tend to get sloppy at times when they are civilians. I mean they are Federation citizens and not terrorists or fugitives nor are they allowed access to sensitive areas on the ship so in the end it really doesn’t matter I guess....right,” Perkins let his voice trail off some. He only wanted to spark a flash of doubt not create a panic. Still her husband Gary Waters had not been located to the best of his knowledge. Perkins had far more resources as an Admiral to help hunt down Waters and make him pay for what he had done to Ashlynn. The choice was how much was she willing to pay to sleep at night safe with the thought Gary Waters was actually locked up in a penal colony somewhere.

Ashlynn glanced at Perkins “I don’t think its an issue having civilians on board and Captain Bordeaux does a good job working with civilians and first contacts alike.” She said as Ali came up in a cute pink dress “Mommy, can I play with Mabelle. We’re bored.” She said and Ashlynn nodded “Just stay in this room.” She said to her daughter. Ali looked at Perkins and her brow furrowed and she stepped back to just behind Ashlynn, as she stared at Perkins.

“Well hello there little one,” Perkins said smiling. To a child, his smile might have mimicked a classic green character from a beloved Christmas story. It curled slowly up one side and then the other. The image would give most a terrible shudder. Looking at the young child, Perkins had but one thought, I will use this small child to destroy what I just brought. I will think up a lie and I will do it real quick. Then convince this young child to wield my big stick. They will bash all the consoles, break their necks in her rink. Why there will be so many injuries the lawsuits against Kelly will push her to the brink. All her family first nonsense of caring about their needs, will help me remove her at the greatest speeds. The more Perkins thought of how fast this could work, he realized the deed could be done and no one would have time to call him a jerk.

“How are you liking the ship,” he asked Ali and raising his hand took a large sip.

Perkins

Ali looked at Perkins, she didn’t like his smile and she could sense he was up to something, she was still honing her skills as an empath. She hid behind Ashlynn’s leg “Mommy, can I have something to eat.” She asked “They have corn dogs and mac and cheese.” Ashlynn nodded “Of course. Go eat.” She looked at Perkins “Ali answer his question before you go.” She said stopping her daughter’s escape.

Ali looked at Perkins “I like it. I was born here so I haven’t really been anywhere else.” She said “Can I go now?” She asked Ashlynn who nodded “Forgive her, she is a bit impetuous and we are working on that.” Ash said as her daughter headed off to procur two of her favorite foods. She turned her attention back to Perkins “How are you finding the Atlantis?” She asked wondering why her normally outgoing daughter was suddenly so shy.

Summers

“Debating why anyone would want to be on a ship with children,” Perkins growled out low. “Corn dogs and Mac and Cheese,” he rolled his eyes. “Commander,” he nodded his head turning away quickly. This day was turning out to be a disaster. No one seemed to want to further their career which he was giving to the on a platter. Ashlynn was brilliant in her career. She could even be a candidate for surgeon general if she sent the kid to boarding school and focused on her career. Perkins turned to look back at Ashlynn. His lips opened slightly to utter the worlds Great Mountain Academic Academy but closed them before he spoke. Women could be feral when you explained to them that children were only career stoppers and money drainers. Grabbing his drink he made his way closer to the podium.
