Snippet #2770115

She swiveled quickly as she heard a voice behind her, if she was startled it didn't show on her face, "No sir, just some technical difficulties," She replied quickly her brain working a mile a minute on an excuse and the situation at hand.

Lucy had already accepted long ago that Echos supervisor was some sort of advanced robot or ninja constantly hiding in the shadows to give critique. It was with that speculation she was constantly kept on her toes, and like in a chess game, always a few moves ahead. Like her dads motto had said, "When in doubt, keep your ass covered.'

Wait, did he just say to report to his office later? "Yes sir," She said the serious expression on her face not changing to one of puzzlement until he was gone. No time to think about that she had to move back to the situation at hand.

Lucy was peeved. Who had done this to her Data Pad? She knew that it wasn't technical difficulties. No, it seemed like some sort of magnetic interference had happened. But everything on Triton that was magnetic was carefully kept out of the way to prevent electronic malfunctions from happening, what with the the highly sensitive equipment around. That means someone must have done it. But who? Wait a second, wasn't it Marc who was looking so suspicious while she was talking about her data pad earlier? That was it, he was going to get it later. She had to figure out what she was going to do now though. Oh joy.

Okay, todays exercise was just a basic one, as a refresher for the old ACATS and a crash course for the new ones, right? Looking down at the static appearing on the Data Pads screen she knew she had gotten lucky. She had seen this exercise done back when she was just observing as a first year in Intelligence and could remember bits and pieces of it. Hopefully it would be enough to get her through the briefing. Looking at the crowd of assembling Echo members then at the others gathering around their respective companies she decided waiting a few more minutes before she got the show rolling. There were still a few missing.
