Michael raised an eyebrow at James. This man was one of a kind, that was for sure. He liked a man with the balls to back up what he bluffed. That was admirable. "Perhaps I was jsut not given the proper paperwork or inspection reports that required such a massive upgrading of systems...otherwise I would of been more inclined to deal with the situation, now wouldn't I Commander Moira?" No, he wasn't afraid of James where everyone else was.
Another raised eyebrow at the packet of paper as he flipped through them lightly. "Hm...well...I'll make sure that this makes it into your personel file then...do make sure to go get all of your clearances and identifications upgraded as well." A salute to James. "Good day to you Commander Moira."
"Well...hopefully they can't do anything too horrible to me. As long as they let me stay on fleet and let me work then they can do whatever the hell they want to me as far as I'm concerned." And that was the whole damn truth.
THough James has also sparked her curiosity of the thing James had brought up about Lillia. Her laptop. "You think someone's messing with her files or has a hack line into it?" Just when she thought they could all go out for drinks too.

Well that certainly got her attention. Her beloved laptop that drove everybody nuts because it was so old and took so long to do anything. But it had been a gift from her parents for college and she'd used it throughout as well as after she graduated and was planning on using it until it died.
"Umm...I suppose." She tapped a foot for a moment and then said, "But what are you going to do to it? I like my laptop and I really don't want to have to get a new one, so please don't destroy it, alright James? It's in my room so ify ou follow me I'll get it for you."
She wasn't about ot withhold it from him, that would just get her into more trouble. But she considered for all of five seconds withholding it utnil she found out just what James Moira knew about her mothe rand what had gone down while she was on Earth. But anothr few seconds and they were back on Envision and she began to head towards her room and after opening the door and apologizing for the mess, she unplugged her beloved laptop and handed it to him. "Be careful with it. That's my baby."

A grin at them both, and a glance to Jelena.
"I need all my clearances updated from your end as well."
He'd let her ponder that one, and followed Lillia, taking her laptop and heading out with it.
"I'm going to dismantle it, check it over, and put it back together. it'll be just like the first day you bought it, nothing damaged or needing replaced. I promise. now come on, we have things to celebrate with Jelena."

She tilted her head at him and blinked...where upon scientific brain went about calculating things out and pondering. Well that kept her duly entertained while her went about snatching Lillia's computer. Hm...could someone of been hard at work, doing what he needed to do to get certain passes? He did have a half computerized brain after all...learnign would be instanteous for him really...just downloading. Lucky him.
Though she took to following James out. "You still have to charge that thing?..honestly Lillia...it's got to be old as dirt..." Indeed it looked it. Though a blink. "Shall we be changing first or are we just going to have fun as we are now?"

Dismantle it. He better put it back together correclty and it better be able to do everything it could now. Sure it was slow but that worked for her. And she was defensive about her laptop. "I didn't buy it, it was a gift from my parents before I started college. Yes, it is old as dirt but it has served me well and my father himself always taught me thta just because something is old, doesn't mean it's not worthy and can't still do it's job sometimes better than the 'newfangled stuff' as he likes to call it."
A glance down at herself and the others an dgrinned, "I think we should go just as we are, a bit of a change from what they would normally see us in an dmaybe people won't whisper as much if they see us all dressed up and drinking happily. Then they might know that Board went well."

"Don't worry. It will run perfectly fine, fully able to do everything it can now. could use an upgrade to it's basic components though probably."
Then a glance at Lillia.
"Well. the last time anyone on this station saw me in my whites was before Jelena got here. So..what exactly were you thinking when you talk about fun?"
Walking with them laptop upside down, already the bottom was taken off and he was rooting through it, peices that had to come off to see others placed in certain pockets so they would be quickly accessed for later.

"You know you shouldn't walk and dismantle at the same time." Though a look to James with a smile from her. "Aw, I'm that desreving that I get to see you in your dress whites?" Though she was trying for the joke she knew James wasn't happy with her at the moment...not with thier little...confrontation...in her room the other day.
Though her wrist watch beeped in alarm and she looked down at it and sighed, before reachign into her pocked and drawing out a mini syringe that was already loaded with a dose of pre programmed detox nanos. Pushing up her sleeve she merely injected herself at the vein at her elbow and then let her sleeve fall. Erik and his detox schedules...at least hopefully those shakes would stop with this dose. About chalk with nanos wasn't she?
A look to Lillia though too. "He has a point though...what kind of fun? I'm afraid the words may be growing foreign."

Don't say anything to JAmes....don't say anything to James. "Do you really have to do that in front of me? I'm sensitive...I don't like seeing my computer ripped apart and stored in various places on your person, I kind of like seeing it all in one piece. It's a funny quirk of mine." Well she'd said something...but that computer meant something to her. And it wasn't the monetary or physical value, it was the emotional. Given to her to follow in her illustrious parents' footsteps. Given to her with all their dreams.
She shrugged, "You know the old saying, all dressed up and nowhere to go? Well this gives us somewhere to go. I say we go to that bar and toast Jelly's good fortune before we start busting our butts again and doing all the work that needs to be done."
A glance at Jelly, "Besides I"m not saying we get drunk, that would be bad, especially with you still on detox." Oh yes, she'd noticed the shakes as well as that syringe. "Just a drink to let out the apprehension we all felt over this meeting."

"Yes, I have to do it in front of you. pay attention, and if you see anything here that is strange, since I am hoping you know this machine alot better than I do. then let me know. provided I don't find anything."
Then a glance over at her.
"I prefer not to drink. I can't hold my liquor very well anymore with the bioware. abuot three bahama mamas and I'm unconcious."
then a look to Jelena.
"And yes, dress whites just for you. woudl have prefered I wore a Fleet security uniform?"

"One drink wouldn't be so bad...but I wouldn't go past that. I don't hold my liquor well either...despite my lineage saying I could. I haven't been able to for a few years now, makes me too sick." A slight shrug of her shoudlers. "But other than that...doesn't seem like a bad idea either. We should just make the whole day something of a fun day...I don't feel like working anyway, I'm a bit too unsteady to play with genetics just yet and staring at a computer screen currently gives me headaches."
A look back to James. "Well...no...but I'm just saying..."

"Alright then, we're cutting loose. Which I haven't done in...a long time. Erik scolded me the other day about working too hard, I guess this way I can say that I'm not."
She stared at James for a moment adn then shook her head. As if she was technology savvy. "Okay..." She would watch him dismantle her baby right in front of her face and put each piece in random pockets even though it would upset her. "I'm telling you now, I don't know a whole lot about computers but I'll help if I can."

James smirked lightly.
"Cutting loose is not something military do. however, I'll be happy to share a drink. and no need to get stuttering, Jellybean. I have to look good around you. after all, can't have people thinking that you and me aren't good together, since you naturally look good."
A small smile and a hug around her shoulders, before back to dismantling. it was almost done now.
"you know what this is?"
Tossing a little device to her.
"Was hooked to your modem."

A slight chuckle at Lillia and a pat on her shoulder from the look of horror on the girl's face from James taking apart her beloved laptop. "Relax he's good with machines, and don't get too wild on us. I turn twenty seven today, my cutting loose days are coming to a close here."
Then a look to James and a light smile at his hug and use of her nickname. "Flatterer...no I don't. You're just saying that." Though a little blink to the part he handed Lillia...wait that looked vaguely familiar.

"Oh that's right! Happy Birthday Jelly!" And Lillia grabbed her and hugged her. "Twenty seven...oh my you're getting old." She giggled, of course being 23 allowed her to tease her boss about her age but that was alright. And then a look at James.
She 'eeped' and caught the piece he so carelessly tossed at her, holdin git in her palm like it was a piece of fragile glass that would shatter if she wasnt' extremely careful. had she not explained to him how much she loved her laptop and how he was to be CAREFUL wiht it? Not carelessly tossing things around.
A glance at the piece in her hand. "Umm...no. I have no idea what it is or what it does. Why? Do you know?"

"Yes, I know what it is and what it does. how about you Jellybean? you know what it is and what it does?"
A look over at her. so Today was her birthday. boy was she in for a surprise. there was of course a reason why Erik wasn't with them, after all. Hmm. would it be a good idea to give her that kind of a shock while on detox? better be ready for cpr just in case.
