Casela let out a deep breath. “Alright everyone, that was good. You still need to practice on your own or in pairs, when you have time. Dismissed.” She was finished with her mandatory leadership role for the day. She really resented Manhattan for that. She left the training holodeck and because she was still required to be part of “the team” she headed to the lounge with everyone else.

As they all settled in, getting drinks and tables, Casela ordered a water with lime and went to sit at a back table, where for the most part she went unnoticed unless someone was purposely looking for her. It was late, 2330 and she had to be up for 0600. This hour in the lounge were exhausting for her.
