Posted by Lieutenant Corinne Dalton/SARAH (Ships AI/Avatar) in Engineering- A Request
It was the most reasonable thing under the circumstances and she suspected the Captain would ask her about it at another point. She had a decision to make. Actually no she didn’t. She already knew that she wanted to follow up with the Captain’s suggestion of the holoemitters, but it was actually going through with it and making the request that was the issue. She probably could have sent a message. An impersonal, blanket message to the department that would completely ignore any personal ties with the Chief. But that wouldn’t do her, or him, any good. It sucked to know that.

With a sigh, Cori (in her uniform and using her emitter), moved through the ship and stepped into Engineering. She knew he was about (the handy thing about being the computer for all intents and purposes), but that didn’t mean he was free.

Her electric blue eyes searched the space and she listened, while standing rather conspicuously about, trying to calm her nerves.

Jarred had been in his office, the morning had been chaotic as loud banging could be heard from his door. The large glass doors gave a few as it was clear Elizabeth was in his office as she was playing with her toys while Jarred sat at his desk. Kalani sat on the couch as she was grabbing toys as she clearly was putting stuff away into the bag that laid on the table.

“Thank you for coming early, I know I thought I could watch her for your entire shift but after three hours… I just wasn’t sure what else I could do.” Jarred said with a small sigh as he got up behind his desk as he lifted up Elizabeth and placed her in his arms. She was nearly five and getting big, but he still treated her at times like his tiny baby girl ignoring she was clearly not the same.

Looking out his doors twin windows he saw a sight he hadn’t seen looking in Engineering often as he placed Lizzie down. “Can you give me one-moment babe?” Jarred asked as he left his office out to the main area to a pacing Cori.

“Can I help you, Cori?” Jarred asked as he stood, waiting to find out what she needed. The past few months had been hard for certain, he wasn’t sure how to move to a place where she would ever forgive him. It was hard when someone admitted they loved you, but they were not in love with you. His past had been so broken and hard that the present seemed so much better, but the remnants of the heartache and trauma he hadn’t fully mended was right in front of him in the form of Cori.
