Briefing Anika
Jilleen had the double role of being the Avalon’s operations officer and the Strike Group’s operations officer, a position of great responsibility, one of which she had been performing for years now. She had her set ways, and for the most part understood her place in the scheme of things. It was her job plain and simple.
After Commander Burk informed her of the Sting, and its possible role in the close reconnaissance mission, she saw the merit. What she did not understand was why they would agree to allow the civilian captain to pilot the ship, there were plenty of talented and skilled military pilots who could do the job. She could herself, at least she believed so. Any ways it had been part of the deal, they get to use the ship if Anika flew it.
If it had been up to Jilleen, she would have arrested the pilot for operating an illegal ship and confiscated the Sting. Maybe a little hypocritical, but she really did not want to give the woman a chance. Too much was at stake.
Wouldn’t Jake be amused that he fancied some privateer? She probably ran illegal drugs back in the Colonies, smuggled in the ship‘s hiding places. Why would she fly a modified ship, but to evade customs? Yeah drugs, meant for corrupting children, such as those that Bridget taught in school. No way would Jake condone that. It’s unforgivable. Those were her thoughts once she walked into hanger 13 and saw the civilian ship and the woman in question.
She could have sent some other officer down from her department to give the preliminary briefing, but she was most interested in meeting this woman herself. In official uniform with a briefing book in hand, she called out her name. “Miss Anika Jereldsen,” She continued walking toward the woman. “I’m Major Jilleen Simmons, Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations; I’m here to give your initial briefing and papers for you to fill out.” Anika would find no warm smile from Jilleen, nor a hand offered in greeting.
