Dorian is in his office dealing with paperwork. Well, figuratively. The organization is mostly paperless now. Mostly.

Star Girl pauses just outside the door to Spirit's office. She looks down at the PDA in her hand, considering the report she's about to file. She sucks in a breath before pressing the knock button. "Star Girl here to see you, Spirit." She says for the intercom.

Dorian nods. "Come on in." He sets aside what he's working on, and moves over toward the conference table.

Star Girl steps into the office, "Hey Spirit." She crosses over towards the conference table, seeing Dorian heading in the direction. "I've got that report that you wanted on Victory," she says, raising the PDA in her had and waggling it slightly.

Dorian smiles, "Take a seat. You can send it to me, if you want. But why don't you give me your impressions directly while you're here."

Star Girl nods. She moves beside a chair, preparing to draw it away from the table. She hesitates there, and she taps a finger along the top of the chair, thinking. "There's... probably something I should let you know, Spirit, before we start to talk about Victory..." She looks at Spirit, brow tightened. She braces to talk about something uncomfortable.

Dorian raises a brow, "Oh? I'm guessing this isn't something in the report."

"Well," Star Girl begins, breaking with a sigh. "Back before I transferred to the West Coast... Victory and I were an item..." She exhales, having finally said it. "I want you to know that I feel that I can still be objective in my assessment. And that it won't affect my performance on the team with him aboard as well."

Dorian smiles slightly and nods. "I see. And now that you're back, where does your relationship with him stand now?"

Star Girl says, "Hrm. Kinda on again."

Dorian taps the table a couple of times. "Well...you might very well end up his superior, at least for a while." He thinks about it for a moment. "Normally, I'd say that we'd have to shift things around to make sure that wasn't the case. But in SGG, we tend to do things a little more 'by the gut'. So, I'm okay with it for now. But I'm going to keep my eye on things. And I'll make sure Wade can come to me with concerns. Thank you for letting me know."

Star Girl relaxes a little. From her point of view it could have gone worse. "That sounds fair... I won't let you down, Spirit. Thanks." She has a seat at the table. "Haven't told him I'm planning on leaving Earth yet..."

Dorian chuckles. "It's only a month or two. You were on the west coast longer than that, weren't you?"

Star Girl nods. "That's true... So about Victory's performance, right?" She puts her PDA away by placing it against her hip and letting it sink beneath the surface of her costume.

Dorian nods. "So what are your impressions?"

Star Girl smiles. "He's improved quite a bit. In close quarters, he's even quicker than I am, and that's without the benefit of having a super suit. I tried to start the sparring slowly, with hand to hand. His Army training beat my judo pretty handily."

Dorian nods. "Interesting. I'm guessing you had the advantage at range?"

Dorian nods. "Interesting. I'm guessing you had the advantage at range?"

Star Girl says, "Yeah, but not as much as you'd think. I'd jump away, and he would use his shield to get back in close. Once, he even bounced a blast back at me. That caught me by surprise. His options at range are a bit limited -- he can fire blasts from his shield -- but I'm not sure how long he can keep that up."

Dorian taps the table again, "Based on the report he gave me, he has limited power to be able to do that. It defaults to purely defensive after that."

Dorian says, "How about his leadership potential? Do you see him as someone the others might follow eventually?"

Dorian says, "How about his leadership potential? Do you see him as someone the others might follow eventually?"

Star Girl says, "He's level-headed and calm under pressure. I don't think I've seen him in a situation where he's been asked to lead, but I think the potential is there."

Star Girl says, "During the fight, I think one hole he might have is mobility. I was thinking that maybe the tech guys could find a gadget or something to help out with that."

Dorian nods again. "Maybe. We can certainly look into the possibility. Anything else you can think of that's worth mentioning?"

Star Girl says, "Those are the major points... He's really gotten better offensively the last time I've seen him in action."

Dorian smiles. "If he can go toe to toe with you, I'd say he's in good shape. Who won the sparring match?"

Star Girl says, "It ended in a draw, though by the end I was running out of tricks. He might have been too."

Dorian nods, "Interesting. Well...thanks for giving me your report. I realize now that I put you in a bit of an awkward position."

Star Girl nods. "No problem, Spirit. You had no way of knowing... I won't let it become an issue."

Dorian chuckles. "I'm not worried. I'm required to at least keep an eye on things, but you've been nothing but professional, in my opinion."

Star Girl says, "Is there anything else?"

Dorian shakes his head, "No, I think that covers it. When you get a chance, see how Gabrielle is coming along with her zero-G training."

Star Girl nods. "Will do." She gets up. "See ya around, boss," she says, waving before she turns and leaves the office.

Dorian waves, "Catch you later."
