Calling on Kelly

[Anna Scott]

It was the late shift and few people were moving about Meropis. A few guards moved around the corridors here and there and here and there technicians worked on repairs to the city. It wasn't unusual therefore to see Anna Scott walking down one of the City's myriad corridors, although she was missing the tablet computer that was normally attached to her almost at the hip. Tapping away at it during the day was a good way of avoiding contact with any of the young men who would otherwise try to make conversation with her, and while there would be a time and a place to accept their devotion, that time was not now.

For her little plan to succeed Anna needed contacts among the military personnel of the city. She'd already identified a number of potentially useful officers, but needed someone who would be able to open doors for her, build contacts, let her begin to build the network she needed to accomplish her plan. That person was Captain Kelly Miller. Turning a corner Anna walked up to the door and activated the chime, her mind going over various different ways of getting what she wanted out of the woman. It really shouldn't be too hard, Anna was not one to be easily resisted.

Waving her hand over the door chime once more, Anna waited impatiently for the door to open. Doubtless Captain Miller had been asleep, but that was still no excuse to keep her waiting, it was unwise to test Anna's patience.
