Office Hours [Open]

[governmentninja]

Sometimes it was one thing after another with this crew. Other times, it was several things at once, as evidenced by the most recent series of events.

But Leon had to handle all of it. He was in the big chair now, literally in this case. He was in the Captain's Office, located just off the main bridge. It was fairly sparsely decorated, but had one hell of a view of the Bleed.

Not that Leon was taking too much time to enjoy it, he had a lot of work to do.

And because Leon had to take care of everything now, it meant there hadn't been a whole lot of time for him to be with his family. That was all right; they all knew what would happen when he became captain, and at least one of them was far more used to it than others.

Sherry hesitated at the door to the Captain's office for only a few seconds. There wasn't any real reason to be here. But she hadn't seen her father in... well, if she had to tell you, it would be "too long" by any measurement. So, the little girl stompstompstomped scurried in, flopped down next to Leon's chair and took her electronic reader from her bag.

Leon looked over at Sherry, and smiled a bit. He didn't say anything, instead reaching over and tucking a bit of hair behind her ear.

Sherry leaned her head against his leg as she scrolled through the list of books presented. On the bright side, even if she read constantly, it would be a few years before she got through them all. She patted his hand. "Hi, Daddy."

[governmentninja]

"Hey, sweetheart."

He didn't withdraw his hand, instead pausing a moment to inspect her bangs. "Lord, you're gonna need another haircut soon."

Just another reminder that his child was growing. Constantly. She needed to stop doing that. Now.

Trailing Down at Admiralty House

[bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com]

He'd met and spoken with figures of authority before. Kings, princes, captains and tavern owners all, he'd spoken with, even laughed or cried with. Each one however, had always been an individual and as such, each one had to be handled differently.

Now is nothing new from that.

Straightening his little red Starfleet shirt and the blue knife Bee had gifted ot him at his side, the three foot tall thing gives a knock on the door. Once he finds it -- he could be half-into the room already and not yet be aware of it. Still, manners dictate what manners will. This is a leader, so Renne prepares to be as polite as he knows how to be.

"Hell-loww?"

From his seat, Leon glanced over at the small figure seeking entrance.

"Come in."

Deep breath. Time to take the plunge.

Finding the doorknob, the three-foot-tall (counting the ears) creature walks in with as much dignity as he can muster. That is, without showing how bloody nervous he is. Once the door quietly shuts behind him, Renne's ears give a forward perk and yes, he snaps off a salute as best as he can. (Thank you, Starfleet).

"Is Rrrr-enne, Suhrrr."

Luis was his usual tired-looking, weary-eyed self as he headed into Leon's office with a gigantic stack of papers-- but he was in a bizarrely good mood for once.

"Hey, you're not going to believe this. But I've got some good news for once."

[governmentninja]

"That's certainly a change," he noted. He could use some good news, for once.

"Let's hear it."

[notlewis]

Luis set his massive stack of papers down, flipping through the first few pages to find the one he was looking for. "I've been actually making progress with Veronica. It's not a lot of progress, but it's more than we've had in months."

He fished out a complex-looking sheet of chemical formulas, setting it down apart from the pile almost triumphantly. "Scarlet and I have improved on the suppressant that the former crew left us to the point where it should be able to shut down the virus' reproductive capabilities-- that is, what makes it able to mutate so rapidly. There's also some bad news..."

He paused and scratched the back of his head. "Injecting it into infected tissue causes the virus' regenerative capabilities to kick into overdrive in an attempt to compensate. Which just makes it mutate. But there's more good news."

"Captain?" Wanda said before slowly entering the room. "I hope I'm not intruding."

[governmentninja]

"Councilwoman," he returned the greeting.

"Not at all. Is there something I can do for you?"

[hexyeah]

"I'm worried about Jonas, or Vision, if you prefer." She didn't. "The boy-" It was hard for her to think of him as anything but. "Who killed Shiva."

"Hiiii," Sheryl chimed, taking a seat on the desk.

[governmentninja]

"Get off my desk." The words weren't spoken harshly, but still rather sternly. Her butt did not belong on his desk.

[galacticfairy.livejournal.com]

"Is that how you talk to a traumatized hostage?" she asked sweetly. "Someone you let be taken hostage?"

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

Nanashi knocked on the door before she made her way into the room. She had been wanting to talk to Leon for some time now, but other concerns had prevented her from making time at any hour reasonable to call on him at.

"Captain Leon?"

[governmentninja]

"Queen Nanashi," he greeted. "Is there something I can do for you?"

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

Nanashi found herself a seat and said, "I have been meaning to congratulate you for some time now."

Leon should be fairly used to regular visits from his girlfriend, by now. She'd been absolutely serious when she'd said if she thought he was working too hard she was going to be insufferable about getting him to take a break, and she'd more or less held to that.

She didn't knock when she walked into the office, if he had someone with him she'd just sneak back out. When she saw he was busy working away at his desk she let the door slide closed behind her, and moved to sit down, leaning forward and propping her elbows up on the desk. She was going to wait and see how long it took him to stop working and look up at her, rather than immediately demanding his attention.

[governmentninja]

Well, if what he was working on was important, the door would've been locked. There were some times when he wouldn't allowed himself to be interrupted, but this wasn't one of them.

He noticed she was there from the moment she opened the door. Sure, he could put obscenely long hours while working, but that didn't mean he was oblivious to everything else going on around him.

He glanced up at her, giving her a small smile, and a brief "Hey," before he went back to his work, just to finish up the section he was working on.

"What's up?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of his work yet.

[letmelive]

She shifted her position a little before answering, leaning her chin against one open palm.

"How long have you been working?" She, of course knew the answer to that question. She just liked making him think about it before she got on his case.

Pepper knocked perfunctorily at the door, then pushed it open, a professional smile on her face. Having visited Rei's shop shortly after her arrival, she was dressed in a suit and wearing her precious Louboutins, Pepper was the image of a efficient personal assistant. A polite smile on her face she greeted Leon.

"Mr. Kennedy? I'm Virginia Potts, but I go by Pepper."

[governmentninja]

She definitely got points for looking professional.

"Ms. Potts," he greeted. "Please, come in." Leon motioned towards the chair on the other side of his desk.

"So, you've 'heard some things,' you had said earlier?"

[ms_pepperpotts]

She wouldn't be Pepper without a well-cut suit and heels, would she?

Taking a seat, Pepper nodded. "Yes, sir. Being late to appointments, missing paperwork, that sort of thing."

Waiting for a reply, Pepper quickly assessed the state of his office, especially noting the view.
