Julianna stood at the receptionist’s desk in the Human Resources Department of the Covenant of Allied Forces. She stood straight, ears at attention with her hands folded neatly upon the countertop. She was dressed impeccably, in a wrinkle-free white button-down blouse that was tucked into a teal skirt with long pleats and floral decorations. Her shoes matched her skirt, which in turn matched her watch and the small clutch purse she’d set upon the counter. Her hair fell in dark waves down her back and over her shoulders and the gentle sway of her tail behind her knees and was the only sign of her growing impatience.
The clerk behind the counter was doing her best to quickly organize the paperwork scattered across her desk. Her name tag read Catherine and it almost seemed that she would lose something as quickly as she found another. “I’m sorry Miss Maxillion,” her high-pitched voice seemed to plead for Julianna’s continued patience. “We really weren’t expecting your transfer for another week.”
A carefully crafted brow disappeared behind her bangs, and Julianna removed her hands from the counter to smooth them over the fabric stretched across her abdomen. “Commander Weatherfare asked me to come early,” she explained, her tone pleasant, almost melodic with her explanation. The Commander had sounded at his wit’s end on the phone the night before, explaining an expedited and dire need for her services. A phone started ringing and Catherine jumped, before signaling to Julianna that she needed a moment and picking up the receiver.
While the clerk took the call, Jules pushed away from the counter to circle towards the wall of glass that revealed the rest of the bustling hub of the CAF. In doing so, she was able to witness the presence of Commander Darcy Weatherfare, approaching the Human Resources office at full speed.
“Miss Maxillion,” he greeted as he pushed open the door, it snapped closed behind him and he reached for her hand. “So glad you could join us here at the Covenant of Allied Forces.”
Julianna smiled tightly as took the offered hand in a brief but firm shake. As if they both weren’t aware of the ridiculous amount of money the CAF had offered her to leave her position with Akiona International.
“Here. I have the temporary badge for you until the girls get your paperwork all squared away.” She plucked the laminated rectangle from his fingers and clipped it neatly to the decorative pocket of her blouse. “I will show you around and give you an idea as to what your new duties will be with the CAF.”
Julianna didn’t imagine it would be much different from her previous duties. She was a Public Relations manager, after all. Generally, her tasks were pretty straightforward, cleaning up the messes and blunders of other people that weren’t so great at following directions or keeping their mouths shut. There was very little she couldn’t handle as made evident by her previous work.
Darcy had paraded her around the base of operations like a proud parent and everyone had been more than content to stop what they were doing to watch the commander and the cat girl he’d had in tow. They exchanged inquisitive looks amongst their peers. Who was she, where was she going, they all seemed to ask with their eyes. No one dared to ask with their words, assuming her presence was on a need to know basis.
Commander Weatherfare stopped abruptly outside of the Covenant's Computer Defense and Intelligence wing. One of Julianna’s ears fell lopsided, questioning without asking a question. The Commander seemed to be fighting with himself over something. He sighed. “Your day to day tasks will not typically differ from what you are used to,” he explained and Julianna obediently nodded her understanding. “But at the moment there is a specific...problem, that I need you to get a handle on.”
“Of course, sir. Whatever you need.”
Darcy sighed again, but the sharpness of it made it sound as if he were amused by something she had said. As if he had politely chosen to ignore a moment of naivete. Darcy continued his path down the intelligence wing, Julianna in tow, her heels a sharp rhythm on the linoleum.
Commander Weatherfare opened the door to one of the large server rooms, the agents working within all seemed to stop at once and look up at him curiously. Darcy scanned the room once, before spotting who or what he was looking for.
“Bell,” he barked, motioning with his hand that he wanted that particular agent to come to him. “There’s someone I need you to meet.”
