There were people Martha should talk to. People who she needs to check up on, to provide a shoulder to lean on if they need it.

Martha shook her head to clear that thought from it. That was what she did in the future. Lost all sense of what she wanted... what she needed... so she could be there for other people. What a miserable life. No. Today she was going to take care of herself.

She went to the spa. Starting with a soak in the hot springs and then a massage. A mani and pedi... She felt good.

And then walking. The labyrinth was a good place for self reflection - a place to lose herself in a walking meditation.

And of course she needed food. And coffee. Bean Crushers was a definite stop for her today. There were people she should talk to, but they could wait. Martha had to take care of herself.

	"Why don't we try that in a day or two? Gather what information you get today and then call a meeting? I mean, what's the harm in saying we're having a town meeting at this time at this place on this day? If people want to come, they'll come." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sure... why not. I could use a day to recharge. If I've learned anything, it's that I'm not cut out for politics." It's perhaps even more discouraging than the potential future they're both so carefully avoiding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh my god politics are so bloody obnoxious. And unfortunately necessary. Let me know if you need help. Though I have to say, my diplomacy isn't always the greatest." She's desperately trying to keep this conversation going because it means they won't talk about the future. But she doubts they'll be able to skirt the issue entirely.

	"Maybe it'll be easier to convince them as a group... I don't know. Either they're loyal to the current state of the Defence Force or they don't care or both." Frustrating. So goddamn frustrating, especially for a federal agent who's used to the whole bureaucratic procedure of being questioned and defending your actions with fact, not emotion.

	"At the very least it'll be something different. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. But getting preemptively frustrated isn't going to help anything. "If you'd like, I'll make the call even." It'll put her firmly into Reid's camp of things, but she's okay with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know." He sighs, trying to shake it off. It's times like these that he really really misses having a team that have the same training and really know how to work together. "There are a few people who agree with us. Maybe we can meet up, all of us, figure out a strategy from there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think that's a great idea. Let's review whatever notes you have from today's call and make a town meeting from there. Sound good?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sounds great. Take care until then, Martha." (Reply to this) (Parent)
