It was just before breakfast when Lu's datapad buzzed with an incoming call. The screen blinked with the name of the caller: "Becky Adams, Dispatch". "Better take this one" she thought as she walked to the office in her quarters at Chesterfield. Normally she wouldn't answer any calls until after breakfast but with a lot of crew enjoying the summer holiday DSE was operating on a skeleton crew and she was the senior representative assigned to Baltimore Shipyard. Apart from that, she knew Becky would not call her unless it was important.
"Good morning Becky, what can I do for you?" she asked in the most polite way before her coffee... "Good morning Lulatia, we have a client here at the shipyard. A lady named Sonja just docked her ship and wishes to talk to a representative". Lu quickly thought that it was a bit odd that she was called before her shift started yet managed not to get upset with trivial matters just yet. "Ah I see, well I know Jonathan is starting his shift in a few hours so what's the rush?". And Becky quickly replied: "Oh, Sonja is with Med Force Enterprises and as I know you handled a lot of the business with them I'd thought it be best if I call you straight away". Becky quickly added: "And you know Jonathan, he's not at hist best when you call him before his shift starts." and a small laugh can be heard over the comms.
A small smile appeared on Lu her face. Yes, she knew Jonathan wasn't peach perfect when he was called before the start of his day. Neither did she by the way but when it came down to award winning grumpyness Jonathan would win the Manhattan Academy every single time.
"Thanks for letting me know Becky, please show our guest to the lounge and make sure she and her crew have something to eat and drink. I'll board a shuttle now and should be at Balti in about 40 minutes.".
And just after Becky acknowledged the instructions Lu signed off and ordered the duty pilot to get the shuttle ready. "No day is ever the same" she thought as she left her quarters and headed for the shuttle bay...
