After meeting with Lione Tea started doing her new job, it was gonna be a tough transition for her. She wasn't used to flying a desk, she had in the past but that was when she was deep undercover. Hell she rode a desk in a sense when she served on the Griffin. But she did have to smile not only was she riding a desk but it was one of the most advanced desks she ever saw and worked on.

Rochelle was never in one place for any real spot of time. Coming back through the halls she was quick to find herself lurking through old haunts and keeping tabs on her preferred pet projects. Tactical was always going to be her soft spot, a place where she laced her own special brand of caustic sugar deep into it's every fiber. Hell, the station was one of the only things that kept a ship like Vindicator pumping blood through it's proverbial veins. If it hadn't been for the fact the ship was, quite literally, armed to the teeth - every soul aboard would have been lost mid-battle without even so much as a squeak. It was a true miracle that they had come away as lucky as they had.

However, it was the sight of Tea that made the fiery little savage halt sharply in her tracks. Her eyes hardened as she watched the woman freely working in what could only have been described as most trusted capacity. "So we meet again. I think you need to know the truth of the matter at hand. That this isn't the Griffin, miss Black. You need to be aware that this bird flies by different rules and those rules are governed in a completely different way then the gentle nature of Captain Levine." The redhead quipped, rocking her weight onto one hip and folding her arms over her chest.

"Ah commander......wonder when we would finally meet again." Tea said looking straight into the red heads eyes, "Trust me commander, I know this ship is ran very differently than the Griffin or have you forgotten how I was greeted, oh and I was doing my job and let me remind you that my intel helped save this ship and the crew."

The redhead scoffed, her nose lifting ever so slightly to rebuff the other woman's words. "Allow me to remind you that your style is what nearly got the majority of us killed, myself included." She bit back, quiet, her voice level and mannerisms only expedited to the forefront by the grin tugging at the corner of her lips. "Things need to be done a certain way. I expect they'll to follow that line from here on out?"

"My style," she began than decided against it it was a futile fight, "I've always kept my nose clean just cause you don't like my methods or who I was taking my orders from doesn't mean I'll step out of line. Seeing as you, Neyes and King are my new command team."

"Never said I didn't like them. I said make sure you tow the line... And you've agreed to follow the rules so I see no further need to dig any deeper." Ivanova's grin turned into more of a sickly sweet smile. "You're not stupid, I have no doubt that your continuation on this vessel will be as incident free as possible -- at least where you can help it."

Tea wasn't a big fan of those types of smiles. Mainly cause it was the one facial expressions she struggled with. "I'll try and toe the line -- where I can help it." Tea said with a smirk and wink.

"Do or do not, dear, there is no try." Rochelle chuckled lightly. "I'll leave you to your duties. Pleasant chatting with you."

Tea stared at the red head commander, "of course and like always it's been a pleasure chatting with you." Tea added in a forced and fake manner.

"Charmed, I'm sure," Rochelle replied, taking one last look around before taking her leave.
