Emie had even tacked on a personal note she saw, congratulating her for doing so well. That,<br />
somehow, made her feel even better than seeing their battle group listed first.<br />
"Provost, do you think that this would be nice to be posted for the crew to see?"<br />
"Why, Guardian, I believe so."<br />
"Could you see that this is posted then?"<br />
"My pleasure, Guardian."<br />
Grinning, Julie left her new Provost to it, and touched the edge of her ship bond. She was still too<br />
tired to sink back into it, but that didn't mean she couldn't use some of her ship functions.<br />
It was becoming easier and easier to do that, she noted absently; loving the warm feeling curling<br />
through her stomach as she sent a signal to North Star. The entire group was out beyond Mars<br />
orbit now, near the inner edge of the asteroid belt. They didn't dare practice beyond the sensor<br />
shell that the Tiri had constructed. The chance of the Bak'ra spotting so many Warp gates<br />
forming was far too high. It was, Julie admitted, a beautiful place. "Looking" inwards towards<br />
Earth she could "see" the sun and Venus just swinging into view.<br />
The touch of the First Guardian's response to her com jerked her back from the view though,<br />
admittedly, she went willingly.<br />
Julie, how are you doing?<br />
Julie felt her lips curl into a smile at the greeting.<br />
I'm doing great. Feels great to see <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Cross</strong> number one on the list!<br />
Laughter echoed back down the channel.<br />
You did good, Sweetheart. Not perfect of course, but you did well.<br />
Wait a second, what do you mean not perfect? We were nearly perfect, Emie!<br />
She was laughing even as she said it though, and she knew that Emily didn't buy it. The First<br />
Guardian's snort didn't disappoint her.<br />
Just make sure you take a good long look at the notes I put on the evaluation you'll be getting<br />
shortly. I seem to remember you nearly inverting your gravitic drives?<br />
Julie winced, sinking a bit deeper into her couch. She'd been hoping that Emily wouldn't bring<br />
that up. She'd gotten slightly confused for a split second during the heart of the maneuvers.<br />
Hurriedly she decided to switch topics.
