Peering over Kelly’s shoulder Ian’s eyes grew wide as he snagged the PaDD.
“What the devil do you think you are doing?” Ian said as he read in full details the list as he deleted all the messages before snapping the PaDD in half over his knee.
“Ordering refreshments,” Kelly said with a mocking smile. The smile stayed until she saw the PaDD break over Ian’s knee.
“No more technology for you… kept this up and I will remove all coffee from the new ship or so help me!” Ian said in a hushed tone as he pulled Kelly’s arm away from the throngs of people.
“Aside from the coffee threat I have to say you just kinda turned me on,” she whispered in a low tone to her husband. “This is a new side of you. Can we put a pin in this and later be bad. I got a couple of PaDD’s back in our quarters you can break,” she winked at him.
“You be good… I am not going to let a feud with that horrible despicable man ruin everything that we have here. You are much better than this most days, and you cannot order the crew to commit assault against a superior officer, and yes legally that is seen as a form of assault.” Ian said as he handed back the PaDD, now sparking and split down the middle as he began running his hands through his hair as he felt every bit of his nerves on end.

“Fine then you had better move this along because I do not look good in prison orange,” Kelly put her hands on her hips. She knew she was on Ian’s last nerve but Ian had no idea just how much she despised the preening peacock Perkins. The animosity went back years. Hell, Ian was lucky he even as allowed to set foot on Kelly’s ship. Perkins was classic passive-aggressive hiding his intentions behind a smirk or a bit of humor that was anything but funny. Everyone saw through it but so many were worried more about what they could gain from him and his lower half rear admiral status to say anything. Still Ian was right. One did catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Captain Kelly Bordeaux.
“I don’t know, you look hot in everything love. Still… I just…” Ian paused as he finally saw the horde that was there way. “Mom… Jacen… Nathan… woman I haven’t had a chance to meet… but looks a lot like Jacen so you must be the sister he never wants me to meet.” Ian said as he began to look back and forth between them all. This was beyond bizzare, Chris brother was here with no Chris in sight, Jacen and whom he assumed was his sister and his mom. This all felt like a really bad beginning to some entering a bar joke.

Rolling her eyes at the spike in hormones between the two biological beings, SEAI partly did as the Captain ordered, telling some of the more trustworthy officers to prepare the Captain’s plan just in case things went south, but not to do it until she gave the signal. While it was true that SEAI did not understand a lot of Kelly’s actions, even this… Perkins managed to get even her riled up. Part of the paperwork she was doing was to keep her from dwelling on the annoying man which would cause her emotion chip to spike, something that she did not want to happen at an important event like this. Discretely turning her attention to the man in question, she decided to put her original skills to the test, and make sure to keep track of Perkin’s actions in case they could be used against him later.

Mardusk leaned over to River and whispered softly “When the little school boy with Perkins loses it, you go low and I’ll go high. I bet we get three full rotations before his body hits the floor.” and he glared at… well, it was Gravel. Glaring was just sort of his default setting.
Mardusk, CoS
River leaned over and smirked “I like your style. whoever gives him the least bruises buys the other a drink.” she whispered back a slight sadistic tone in her voice. She didn’t really now Perkins and his group but she had dealt with others like them. In river eyes the best place for people like them was on the ground out cold or worse.

An eerie breeze seemed to ripple throughout the room followed by a soft pneumatic swish as the doors to the reception room slid open. Two men walked beside a third individual. In this light, he had gray papery skin. White wisps of hair floated on his head adding to the feeling that the man approaching them was not of this world. He would be more appropriately placed in Cairo approach Lord Carnavon and Howard Carter than Kelly and her XO. The subtle boot scrape against the floor reminded Kelly of the shuffle of the walking dead.
“Here we go,” Kelly said under her breath.
“Captain Shultz…Erins....Bordeaux,” Perkins snapped his fingers as if he just remembered something important. “I should remember that name because you stole my yeoman.” Perkins looked at Ian standing next to the captain.
“Nah he just decided he didn’t enjoy the scent of mothballs and talcum powder,” Kelly shot back sticking out her hand lobbing half an insult at Perkins. “Told me walking into work every day was like walking into an elder care facility. Isn’t that right Ian,” Kelly made sure to use her husband’s first name instead of his formal rank as would be proper in this setting.
Perkins turned his dark gaze on the man that was once his personal attache. Bordeaux’s wife might think she was bulletproof but Perkins didn’t need to go after her to hurt Kelly. He could target other things. “Is that right…Ian,” he repeated Kelly’s question.

“Senator Harland started the rumor when he used to visit he always asked about some hand sanitizer… do you want me to try and contact him for you, sir?” Ian asked as he looked pointedly back at Admiral Perkins. “We can get his opinion on this as well”
