Petty Officer Second Class Braelynn Naz'jar. Often nicknamed 'Lady Naz'jar' or just 'Lady' for the manner in which she worked when she was handling someone else's paperwork, she was not shy about what she wanted and most of the time it was to be best alone to get on with the work she had been requested to do for whoever it was doing the requesting.

Naz'jar stood outside Lasky office as she announced herself by tapping his door chime.

"Come in." Lasky's voice echoed from within.

The doors opened as she tapped the door release button, she went into his office. "You wanted to see me, Commander."

"Yes, I did. Take a seat Petty Officer and I'll explain why I demanded your presence before me this day in the year of our Lord."

Braelynn chuckled softly as she sat down, at times she found Commander Lasky's humor downright infectious but she knew he was calling for a reason and not to make idle chatter, however, she would wait for him to say his peace on the matter and not before.

"Well, Your work around here has been sensational. Zara can't shut up about the Yeoman who does all her paperwork in a fraction of the time that Zara herself can do it... However she and I both along with a few others... we feel your skills are wasted there so... You'll be taking over as Colonial Liaison Officer. It entitles you to reassignment from command red to diplomatic white and I was able to arrange a promotion for you.. to Petty First.."

"Thank you, Commander. I appreciate your faith in me... I will prove myself worthy of this honor.." Naz'jar responded with a smile. "Besides I find my work deeply fulfilling."

"See that you do Ms. Naz'jar... or it'll be the cat for you.." Lasky chuckled softly. "Yes.. I've heard that about you... you love your work so much that you need to be reminded to eat.."

Naz'jar smiled. "What.. I like to think I have a decent singing voice.." she responded. "Doing Colonial Liaison work in addition to being the Commodore's yeoman will make things challenging for me."

"Commander Wintersnow will assist you with your workload as needed but being honest with you. I don't think you'll have issues with it as she spent most of the time doing very little. Her skills honestly were wasted at the position..."

"I see Commander," Naz'jar responded in a light tone of voice. "When do I start?"

"Tomorrow. See Commander Wintersnow and the two of you can go over things together.."

"Yessir," Naz'jar responded. "Is there anything further?"

"No that's it... On your way petty officer." and with that, Naz'jar stood up and departed in silence.
