"That is correct.. mama Captaz" She says with distaste for the silly title "The baron is not availble at this time. Would you like to leave a message?"

Spock holds drinks steady

"Oh, well, you know, I think I just might like to do that, Secretary to Baron Tidemarch...." A pause as she takes a breath....

Ear plugs for spock

The saccharine tone abruptly vanishes as she explains EXACTLY what Baron Tidepool can do to himself (most of it anatomically improbable) if his people hassle her people over safety inspections while they working out prototypes in open waters. She goes on for quite a bit.

At the end of that rant, she pauses, and the saccharine tone is back (but with a little sharpness on the consonants) as she says, "Got all that, Secretary to Baron Tidepool?"

The sound of sniffling "Y..yes, Mama Capataz" she might be crying a bit. Too bad she didn't have a Skyhook Insult proof vest. It might have lessened the blow

"Attagirl. An' if you ever wanna job here, you fuckin' lemme know." She hangs up without another word, quite confident the girl has zero interest in working under her.

"You realize the phone has feed back for hours after you do that right?" Spock pulls out the ear plugs

"Yeah? Pull a newb from electronics to get to work fixin' that."

"Will do" She says noting that they'll get new lines before Captaz changes her habits

Tweak's already back to sketching out some ideas. Spock's idea has got her intrigued.

And coffee is brought in to fuel her and her brainpan

Spock?Spock doesn't seem to mind if Mama Capataz is taking over the project. She wants this to work after all, and that means the best

She adds a generous splash from the bottle in her desk to her coffee.
