Something brief and positive to close out Chapter 4. Chapter 5 will be coming in dibs and drabs as work just picked up quite a bit.
Mrs. and Mrs. Foster-Parker: A year passed quickly after the Xeniod attack, and Barbara rotated out of her command position to a staff position on Frankreich. I requested transfer to the Frankreich garrison, but rather was assigned to the 23rd Starfleet HQ which was on Frankreich. So we both were staff weenies.
My exact title was JA-DAVR or Junior Apprentice Deputy Assistant Vice Regent, Office for Doctrinal Employment- Screening Forces Section, Fleet Plans Division, Directorate of Operations 23rd Starfleet. In short I was the junior of two assistant or apprentices to the DAVR Fleet Plans, Countess Eloise Pitt.
My job, well at least on paper was to examine and implement doctrine for screening forces. My immediate boss was Baroness Gloria Sheridan and her sycophant assistant Lady Valerie Winton. Neither of the two had any combat experience, and they were both on the hit list with the reformers at AIDOF high command. Needless to say since I am both a decorated combat veteran as well as loosely connected with the Volkberg reform movement, mainly Princess Nicole, I was considered a barely tolerable nuisance in the Fleet Plans office. I did my work and left the office as soon as possible every night.
The plus side was Barbara was over at the 23rd Aerofleet’s HQ which was the supporting force for the 23rd Starfleet. She had some likewise pretentious sounding name, but her job sounded fun. She was basically responsible for implementing the new equipment including the latest version of the Raptor, and so as part of her job she got to fly.
We both had a lot of free time and decided that since we were both stuck on Frankreich to use a scheduled liberty to get married. Wendy and Terri likewise had the time free and were the maids of honor. Wendy was working on her second stint in the command division, this time as the executive on a Minerva, the AISS Ptarmigan, assigned to the home fleet at Teri, and Terri was Matriarch of the basic flight school on Teri.
The wedding was very nice, Barbara looked absolutely stunning in her gown, and of course she said the same about me. And for the honeymoon we went to Amazonia and basked in the tropical paradise of the capital world. After our glorious time in the sun was over it was back to dreary Frankriech but now on as Lady Foster-Parker in official circles. So although my work was pure drudgery I had other diversions to keep me sane. We both decided to hold off on having any daughters until we knew what or next posting was going to be. Which for me was none too soon as I was given writ of nobility to the rank of Baroness and along with the title, a new command.
