This was not Jessica's favorite thing in the world, in fact, she wanted this whole thing done. A lot of stuff was on her mind. But she needed a counseling review, particularly after the last assignment.

Lunara received a chime on her PADD, notifying her that someone new was here to see her. She stepped out of her office and saw one of the fighter pilots sitting in the lobby. She smiled, walking over as she gave her usual greeting. "Ah, hello! You must be Commander Vail."

Jess walked in."Hello Counselor." She noted as she sat down. "How am I doing? Great. Although I really want to get into my fighter at the moment and shoot more Orions."

"Well, first we need to find them, don't we?" She sat down on the other side of the desk. "Can I get you anything before we start?" This woman obviously didn't want to be here. Those hot shot pilots were too headstrong for their own good.

"Just some Ice Water." Jess noted. "And I've been pissed off since we found that slave ship in the last mission. I really want to be at the head of a fleet to the Orion system." Jess bowed her head. "Slavery is a curse upon interstellar civilization and I hate it."

"You won't hear any argument from me." She retrieved a glass of water from the replicator and handed it to her. "How did things go up in the wing?"

Jess spoke. "Don't tell these cadets the following. But they were magnificent and distinguished themselves in that engagement. They are a credit to Starfleet Academy and the United Federation of Planets. Every maneuver and plan I trained them, they did it well. Coordinated like a true squadron. I think this might be my most successful batch of cadets." Jess noted. "But don't tell them that. Goddesses. It would go straight to their heads. And I don't want to produce pilots with ego. I am tough on them because when they respect me, they learn."

Lunara chuckled. "Don't worry, keeping secrets is part of my job. Besides, I know how you flyboys can be. I don't want to make it worse."

"Yeah, well. Not much for them to do on this mission, and I'm not letting them sit on their arse. Might as well get them on damage control. Thanks Counselor." Jess stood and left the room.
