A Run In with the Devil

"Ah yes...lucky me... " she mumbled half to herself. She turned about holding up her PADD with his file on it, "Well yes, it says here you played a concert for the crew members before. Lt. Jr. Noonia has brought it to my attention that we are in need to rally the troops, so to speak.. " she brought her PADD down and flicked through a few things and opened another file, "It is my hopes.. " she continued to speak, while she looked for a particular image, "To bring a sense of community and comradery back to the crew Sir.. " she looked up and held up an image of a snowy scene and people ice skating. "I was thinking perhaps, " she pulled the PADD down and looked up to him, catching his gaze and holding her own in that moment, "Sir, I am requesting that you help to lighten the mood.

I have an excellent knowledge and grasp in the field of mathematics, far better suited to other duties than a rec officer. I was meant for the Mars Utopia station under Captain Jurnell, supposedly to help in the development of some new program or another. " she waved her hand in the air, as though she were dismissing something, "I don't know the finer details, but to be pulled from such a project to be a recreations officer. " she brought her arms down, crossing them over her knee, and her eyes narrowed to his own, "Well, you can understand my curiosity. I'm not a simpleton Commander, so I would greatly appreciate it if you'd fill me in on why I was brought aboard.
