Quote:*blinkblink* Y'know, in retrospect I don't know why that surprises me, but it definitely does.
I mean, I read the post that spelled out Estevan's crew, and for about two seconds I was thinking, "Okay, that's nice to know," and then I thought, "Jialan?!" Then I sat staring at the monitor in shock for an uncertain period of time.

Have you considered the possibility of Estevan and Lydia having a mutually favorable reaction right from the start?
The tricky thing about handling this triangle is going to be that all three participants are in different levels of the same chain of command. I did a little reading, and the rules for United States' military, at least, don't seem to be as strict as they're usually painted in fiction, but then again, the participants are a lowly pilot, her direct superior, and the Right Hand of God (aka, Madam XO), so at the very least it's going to be an extremely touchy situation... and one that Lydia, in particular, would go to some lengths to avoid, given her background.
Hmm.
