U.S.S. Wasp, Sociology Professor.

"You'll be on the U.S.S. Wasp under Doctor mFumbu."

Rachael nods, "Since you name him this wiil take place before that latest entry in the Kris Longknife series. Since he died in the Greenfeld battleship Fury."

"Yes and no, it's an alternate history. Cara is eighteen, so technically it's after Kris Longknife Daring...but..."

"But the people that would be dead by that time are still alive here. You still going to have Tommy and Penny together."

"A little less religiously though. Captain, or maybe Colonel... Jack Montoya, and let's say Rear Admiral now, Princess Kris Longknife are together. Abby and Sergeant Bruce. Grand Duchess Vicky is on as well...and you and the other boffins."

Rachael shakes her head, "And I'm studying...what?"

"Long term efffects of risking your life on group dynamics."

Rachael's forehead met her hand. "They're all fucking, huh?"

"Well...not in public..."

She sighs, "Where do we start?

Meeting with Kris? Or Penny? Or soes Cara have questions?

"They're all female!"

Bronc's on the ship too...maybe Cara and Bronc have questions...that should be fun, yes?

"Well...yeah..."
