That day had been long and never ending, but Casela had some very special ‘reports’ to go over. These were always the hardest, but the ones she never put off and always gave her full attention, despite anything else that was going on.

The first thing she examined was the growing application file. Casela was impressed by the detail of exploitation Ashlyn had managed to bring to light and the solution. Casela wasn’t a computer programer but she was able to exploit weaknesses, both human and machine with ease. She saw the beauty of the soluation and the ruthlessness of the infiltration Ashlyn had managed. Her scores in information security and her inovative approaches would make any department, ship, base, or otherwise fight over her. The next thing she saw was the letter between her and a medical officer named Sharah Fayth. But the letters suddenly stopped because it was deemed that this friendship with the medical officer was a negative influence to Ashlyn.

That made Casela pause and began an indepth investigation to this doctor. After extensive snooping around Casela found nothing to warrent such an acqusation on either this doctor’s part or Ashyln’s. As a therapist Casela could see how Ashlyn had finally created a new attachment to someone and her sudden removal had sent her spiriling. Instead of helping her, she was blamed. As both a mental health expert and so attached to Ashlyn, Casela was disappointed. Not in Ashlyn but in the care she had not recieved over the years. There was nothing Casela could do about that though.

At the same time she was denied the opportunity to continue working a physical exercise program that she had written. She was even instructing others, but an incident with…AH! Casela saw now, and intitled brat with too much brass in her family. Such as politics worked. But Ashlyn, until then, was showing great leadership skills, at least in areas she had interest. She was working well with the other security personnel and had even done some unofficial mentorship during her cadet tour. Rough around the edges, but the other cadet had improved greatly. But her career was being impeded because she was a misfit. And there was no better place for a misfit than on Leviathan. Now she just needed to get Cobb and Raauhl to agree to it. To let her pay off this penance, or at least make the attempt. She compiled all the information she had found into a personnel report to give to them.

To: Captain Cobb
From: Lt. Synthi-er
Could you please meet me in the holodeck at 1400?

The other she sent personally off the record so to speak.
I have a personnel request to make, but it’s personal. I know you are in charge of personnel transfers and requests, but I don’t want to cross that line. I’ve asked the captain to meet me on the holodeck at 1400. It was a fine line they walked and she didn’t want to cross it. She didn’t care about her career, but she did his. This way he would know she wasn’t maliciously going over his head, but he could choose to show up or not based on what he thought was best.
Lt. Synthi-er, CNS
