The recent events weren't hinting at calm times anytime soon, something not only the Admiral but all of her Separatist fleet was yearning for. Just a few days of peace and quiet. A guarantee to relax without fearing for your life. And yet with a dangerous operation ending new troubles seemed to be waiting at the horizon. The apologies of the Hellfire Legion felt too good to be true and it seemed like their assistance and break would cause new conflicts. Was it jealousy? Fear? What drove the Unioners to not go straight to her but to the Hackers? How else could they have known. The Royal Navy was hardly a 'common friend'. And no one else would have been bothered by their operations.
And now right after going a step further they'd ask to meet in person. She actually realised then, that she hadn't seen a lot of Hackers in person. Sure there was Graves, a member of her Battlegroup. And she'd had many conversations with them, in space or via the Net but they rarely would come by if only for a chat. This time it'd be on the Discovery. She didn't like the ship that much. It represented the negative sides of their struggle, where her flagship did the opposite. It reminded her that this ship had a long way in front of it until it'd recover to the state it deserved. But all in due time. Today the ship was not important but the meeting, with the Hackers in a Liberty warships officers lounge. She shook her head and got on her way.

Knight would have been waiting, arriving five minutes earlier as was her habit. Her dress uniform, unlike that of some of the crew, was spotless and she had a tablet in front of herself, checking the recent events with the Lane Hackers. Her rather neutral, if not a little stressed, expression didn't change a hint when the Lane Hacker was lead into the room. Though her slightly tense posture changed when the Hacker showed a rather soldier like attitude and her conditioning nearly made her salute in return.
She decided though that even if he'd appear the part of the soldier, that she'd not treat him as such. "Good day Hacker, please take a seat." she said, her open hand showing him a seat close yet not next to her. "Or should I say Professor?" She asked him, not familiar with who she actually met here. She was just rather sure of that there was no need to harm her and with her officers nearby she felt suitably protected too.
