[colour=violet]“The talk-y one? I’m glad that I’ve made such a strong impression on you Maggie,”[/colour] Kiera said in a cheerful manner. She was not so highly strung that such a harmless comment would cause her any insult. Kiera turned toward Annalynn and nodded in partial agreement with what the scientist had to say. [colour=violet]“Somewhat true, however unless the station head is a personal friend of the Captain they are not going to want more than an authentication code and a copy of our orders. Both of which do not require a face to face. Station heads are very busy individuals even on a quiet day, it is unlikely he will push the issue if it saves him time and the explanation is reasonable.”[/colour]

Kiera thought a moment. [colour=violet]“The truth is that no matter what we do there is always going to be the risk of discovery. It cannot be eliminated entirely. So for now we should act as if nothing was wrong, do the best we can and hope that providence provides. You never know, we might actually find the Captain,”[/colour] she said cheerfully.
