Viv slid her eyes in Kesh's direction when made the comment about making her look better. Having two handsome men along certainly didn't hurt when dealing with the female members of the panel they were about to bargain with. But, she hadn't asked them along to make her look better. She rolled her eyes and shook her head with a small smile when Alex retorted that she didn't need the help.

"If something goes wrong with the payload," Vivvy's eyes went to Kesh once more, "we're all pretty screwed. Serena's canisters don't usually leak, or explode for no reason. Unless it gets dropped, and pretty heavily dropped, we should be ok." She nodded to the two of them as she finished her sentence. "Besides, I trust you with it. We'll get through with no problems."

She smiled and opened the doors to the building. She held them for Kesh, so he could get the canister through without having to worry about the door. When they were in the foyer, Vivvy went to the desk clerk and told her that they were there. She walked back to the boys as the clerk alerted the panel they would be meeting with. "As Nate always says, we refer to each other by code name only in the presence of anyone not from the ship. I know you know that, but I just wanted to remind you."

She turned as her name was called. "Phera? The panel will see you now." With her head held high, Vivvy walked into the conference room and took a seat across from the panel on one side of the long table. "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am Phera, this is Aegis and Hermes. Shall we begin?" She smiled and looked from Kesh to Alex, nodding to each of them.
