Commander Bonham, Lt Jr Noonia, Ensign Townsend, Ensign Skytower

Townsend smiled at the comment, "perspective" he said softly then added, "If you say so." He wasn't completely convinced by her statement. "I didn't realize you were assigned to the Thunderchild"

Commander Bonham broke in on that one. "Originally she wasn't. When I was going over the new recruits that were coming to the with Rear Admiral Brand." He paused a moment than added, "superintendent of Starfleet Academy" on that note he continued shifting his eyes from one person at the table to another. "I saw then a cadet Skytower across the quad. She was sitting in a grassy field all by herself. I inquired and was told that she was being assigned to Mars Utopia Station." His attention fell on to Ensign Skytower, "After reviewing your personnel file, I knew we wanted you. Sometimes there is more to a strong cadet than just scores and reports. I asked the Admiral if she would include you in our new run of Ensigns. And thus Mars was one less Ensign. Captain Jurnell, was pretty upset that I was able to snake one of his recruits like that."

He paused and shifted his attention back to Lieutenant Noonia, "I figured as much. I have heard that Lieutenant Medart has you guys running pretty hard in engineering. I wanted to talk to you about your hologram that you made. I have heard it was worth watching and I did. Pretty impressed Lieutenant" he explained. He took a moment to pause to allow others to speak now.
