RE: A Run In with the Devil
Lylliana's arms unfolded, as she felt herself become completely undone. He had cut through her guard and her courage was up, however he did manage in his last few words to stab her to the core. The Pathfinder Project was a noble idea and she knew she had the skill set to help accomplish something great with long range communications. "Well Commander, the event was a legitmate excuse, AND also the reason I had come to speak with you. Lt. Jr. Noonia has a wonderful idea that I am expanding upon and could use your performing expertise. " she felt him cut her to the quik as he exited the showers.
She mirrored his direction as he motioned for her. Despite her injured feelings, she was sour now, and at the point of snapping. She spoke up against him, "The Pathfinder Project is a noble project, noteworthy in fact.. " she tried to stay calm, cool and collected as she spoke, "Yes, I have the skill set to be a great influence and help to the Pathfinder Project. I know that I can make an impact there. " she sighed somewhat aggravated and defeated all at the same time, "Commander. No disrespect, but of course I will not fall behind and follow in someone elses shadow. And quiet frankly, you obviously brought me here for a reason and therefore, logically" she narrowed her eyes at him as she used the Vulcan turn a phrase, "it makes no sense for you to send me back to a project where, once again quiet frankly, I will shine and make a difference no matter what anyone says or thinks. " she snapped. At this point she had moved closer to him, and was almost at the point of seeming to reprimand him for ever making the statement. She stepped back, and fixed her jacket, straightening her appearance and once again regaining composure, "Again, no disrespect Sir. " Her blue eyes now bright and smoldering as they glared to his own. She wouldn't allow anyone to tell her what she was and was not capable of. She was stronger than that.
