After the simulators could help but dwell on what Rogers problem with her was. Although she never spoke to him about it. She found her dealings with young man always left her feeling quite annoyed or even angry. So outside of necessary conversations, she didn't speak to him, even went as far as to completely ignore him even if he had input on a conversation with another person. She would just speak over him or if he was luckily he'd get a glare that told him to shut up. Whatever his problem was Katya was over it and until he started speaking to her she was going to treat him like crap. After all, what was he going to do about it? She outranked him and whenever Ritsu or the Lorenzo was around she was respectful to him ... well to a degree. However, in training simulations, she continued to support him as needed at times she was even nice to him. Praising him for good maneuvers, with that said she came down hard on him for mistakes. All Katya wanted was him to speak to her and she be content to leave him alone. 

Before the briefing, Katya was in the hanger doing maintenance work on her Artemis Drones. She had been studying the schematics and was eager to get her hands dirty on seeing what the insides were really like. Katya working away quickly getting parts of the casing off. She started working on the targeting array and the weapons. Moving on to the power systems and the reactor. Her mind not fully focused on what she was doing. Pondering what had caused Roger to not speak to her. She was unable to work out an answer. Katya without even knowing caused and overload an Artemis nuclear reactor, which caused it to being to meltdown. To Katya's luck, the chief engineer was nearby and able to stop the reactor before the meltdown reached critical mass. The engineer then gave Katya a dressing down and order her to report to the infirmary to make sure she wasn't exposed too much radiation. By the time she was scanned and injected with antiradiation drugs got herself changed out of her engineering overalls and into her normal uniform she was late to the briefing.

By the time Katya had arrived, she just managed to catch a little girl saying all let train and get buff. Alongside if there were any questions. Katya taking the chance to quickly interject. Looking at little girl given she was the one speaking, noticing right away she was the Sergeant. 
[color=Fuchsia]"Sorry, I'm late ma'am. I was in the infirmary."[/color] Katya quickly spoke giving her a salute. Even if it felt a little weird to her. How did someone so young get to the rank of Sergeant? She was surprised someone so young was even allowed in the military unless she was a lot older then her appearance led on. It didn't matter she was the higher ranked officer Katya would give the proper respect. No matter how weird it felt.
