/// Security office ///

Aly was still in shock over the recent news she'd received. Commanding her own ship? The USS Karma... Sighing softly as she felt the mixed emotions within her she gave a little shake of her head and sent a message for Ricky to come to her office. In the meantime, she moved about her office to start packing.

Ricky was busy going over the firing range results from a enlisted group he wasn't pleased by them but they were passing marks. Shaking his head he stood and decided to deliver the report in person, "here's the marks for the enlisted science staff. Not great at all but passing."

Aly stopped and looked at him, damn Starfleet, just as she gets the chance to maybe see were things might go between them again. Something has to change. Stepping around her desk she moved over and locked the door before taking the Padd and setting it on the desk. Looking at him a moment, she kissed him softly before stepping back.

"Well, I'm sure you will be able to get them, and the rest of what will likely be your crew in shape."

"What's going on?" Ricky asked spending too much time in covert ops he knew when something was happening.

"I'm being transferred, giving command of my own little ship. I'd try and take you with, but figured you would want to stay here." Aly said with a slight shrug. "And I've probably gone to soft for you. "She said as she tried to tease him some, to cover up the fact that this new mission scared the crap out of her.

Ricky looked at her, "and this has nothing to do with what's been happening here." Truth be told her statement about her going too soft was true. The Aly he knew was no more.

Well that brought a slight glare at him. "Ohh sure, cause I have such great control over others that I can demand to be given my own ship just so I can get off here." She gave a little shake of her head as she realized just how he looked at her now. "I told you, I had every intentions of making this ship mine. And you know full well I could have. I'm not the one that knows everyone, or has all the 'connections'" Moving back around her desk she typed a few things into the computer.

"For now, I'm putting you in as acting Chief. It will be up to the new acting Commanding officer what he wants to do with you from there." Aly said coldly as she started covering her hurt.

Ricky nodded, "sorry that it couldn't work here or even between us." And this Ricky truly meant but something changed and he didn't know what. But he decided that she needed to go and figure this out for herself.

Aly just shrugged, not bothering to look at him now. "It is what it is." After finishing up somethings in the computer that would give him all the access he needed. She then sent a message to the acting Captain to let him know what was up. "Alright, you're set up."

Only then did she look at him, the same look she'd learned to use long ago to hide her feelings or anything else that would give way to what she was thinking. "I'll leave you the info of were I'm at... in case you ever want or need to reach me." Turning then, with a hard swallow to grab her box.

Ricky stepped out of the way and just watched her go. And 'It is what it is' was gonna be their final words. Sighing he went and took a seat behind the desk.
