Lu stood in her small office at Baltimore and looked into space through the large windows. A they recently upgraded their "Pimpship" program the shipyard was once again busy with customers. A great sight to see. "Oh my, look at the time, I better hurry!" she thought as she remembered het follow-up meeting with Sonja.

"Certainly not with a vessel as old as Sonja's..." she mumbled to herself.
As she came near the lounge her datapad buzzed.

The final note from the chief was: "This will be large project but a good training for the engineering crew!".
"Ah well, let's meet with Sonja and discuss the details..." she thought as she turned the corner towards the lounge.
"Hello Sonja, it's nice to see you and..." she paused as she tried to remember the name of the cat... "Nikki again." she quickly continued: "I am happy to see that both you and Nikki have been provided for. That always makes me happy" and as she gave Sonja a handshake she added: "Allow me to get myself a cup of tea as well and let's sit and tell me how you are and if you have some news."
And with that she walked to the counter and poured herself some tea. "By God I hope she brings good news..."
