As the doors to the Briefing Room slid open, Holloway could already see the incoming call warning on the screen.

This was the first time Holloway was dealing with someone so high profile, and she was unsure of what to do, what to say, how to behave, where to put her hands even. Straightening her uniform and adjusting her hair slightly, she opted to remain standing.

Ordering the computer to take the call on screen, Molly smiled as politely as she could. By this point, Renveer might know that is was likely not the most sincere of smiles, but at least she was trying. Finally, when the screen lit up with the image of the senator, Holloway spoke in the most jovially polite tone she could muster, especially since she had been told the Senator didn’t seem happy. “Senator Belgrande, I must say we were not expecting your contact. This is my First Officer, Commander Renveer, I hope you don’t mind him being present.” She said gesturing to the Trill. “To what do I owe you the pleasure?”
