Xandra sat at her new desk in CIC and sighed. Having just gotten back from speaking to the XO, she now realized that things were changing. For better or worse, she wasn’t sure yet. First thing she had to do was notify her pilots that there had been a shift in upper personnel. She would also have to find a new Red Squadron Leader.

Sending the missive to every pilot and Squad Leader she had, she sat back and shook her head. “I know you needed to go, Ric… but I wish you had prepared me for the fact you were making me step into your shoes.” She sighed as she spoke out loud to the empty space of the office. While they hadn’t made any concrete plans for the future, she had begun thinking of them as engaged. It was a hard blow that he had just needed to go so badly he hadn’t said goodbye.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed that thought down and realized he was where he needed to be and she was as well. Might as well make the best of it.

She moved to the locker in the back of the office and pulled out her uniform slacks and tunic top. She had always kept a set here in case he wanted her to rub noses with the brass, something he didn’t like doing, himself. She shimmied out of the top of her jumper and slid the tunic on. Sliding out of the rest of the suit, she pulled the pants on and slid her feet back into the boots she had kicked off when she had come into the office. Pushing the loose strands of hair up into a twist to tuck back around the braid on her head, she moved to head into the Ready Room to await the rest of the pilots. She was curious how they would react to the new brass pips she was attaching to her collar as she moved into the room and went to the podium. She was sure no one else knew of Ric’s departure at this point… so this would be interesting indeed.

A few minutes after the message reached him, Ael walked into the ready room. His uniform, rather fittingly, looked like he’d just come from doing aircraft maintenance. “Afternoon Commander.” He said. He’d heard from the Captain before most of the squad that Xandra was getting a promotion, but they hadn’t really had a chance to talk. “Congratulations on moving up.”
