Mirien Valdier
Ice Queen
Tygara - Firemane Intelligence Office
Mirien had been in her office sorting through a stack of reports from the latest operation. And she was not pleased in the least. Very little had gone right, and one overzealous, overconfident agent had been the downfall of the whole thing, severely overestimating her capabilities and experience. Which had been a problem before, and one woman Mirien spent extra time on training her hoping she might have learned from past mistakes and new training. It was a second chance for this agent. And Mirien was willing to give her one last chance to show improvement in a minor mission that Mirien could afford to have mistakes happen.
So the dark ice queen had sent for Sevee to chat. 'Chat,' it was going to be more of a dressing down. Going through the last report, Mirien had just set it aside when the woman knocked on her door. "Come in." She called, tenting her hands as the human entered her office.
"Sevee," Mirien said coldly.
"Ma'am."
"I believe you are well aware of what this is about."
"Yes Miss Valdier, the last mission. I know I screwed up, but it's not going to happen, ever again."
"Screwed up, is a vast understatement. I'd go with completely blew the mission, and that is entirely on your shoulders." Mirien sighed, folding her arms across her chest and leaning back in her chair. "And I can promise you; you won't have the chance to repeat those mistakes."
"But It wa-"
"No. No more excuses." The former Grand Inquisitor snapped more than just a bit pissed. "You fethed up. Take it like a woman and accept it. Admitting and accepting your errors is the only way to improve in this field. You have to take responsibility for your actions. Lives were on the line, and thankfully there were only a few injuries when matters could have been far worse." The brunette shook her head, "Now I've spent a lot of time trying to help you improve, and I'm a firm believer in second chances. Well, you've had yours."
The girl was trembling already not sure where this was going to go. At that point, Sevee had figured she was about to be fired, if not worse. Tears were forming in her eyes as she looked to Mirien, fearful of what would happen now. After all rumors through the building were quite clear that the brunette in front of her was more than harsh, and she'd seen a few cases of that herself. There was a reason they called her Lady Vader behind her back.
Mirien turned to look out the window, "Now, Sevee, there are consequences for your actions, your pay will be docked a good deal. You will also take a demotion. This is your final chance, at a lower level with fewer responsibilities and less sensitive missions with far lower stakes. I will not give another. Period. For that severe punishment and a dismissal from my service will follow. Show me my time has not been wasted on a woman that will not go anywhere, and we can revisit your position at a later date. Do not disappoint me." She said with such ice in her tone. Mirien was more than serious about this. She wasn't going to risk much more on a person like this until she could prove herself capable.
"My secretary outside will give you your new group assignment which your duties start today. Now go before I change my mind and choose to outright fire you."
Sevee started to attempt to speak, but Miri was fast to cut her off. "No, Sevee. Nothing more. This is my final judgment, and there will be no deviation, and I will not be talked out of this. Never forget you did this to yourself. Now, you are dismissed." Mirien snapped icily.
Sevee was quick to leave at that point racing from the room and only stopping for a mere minute to pick up her new assignment. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she darted off down the hallway, not wanting to be seen like this.
Now Mirien turned back to her desk and looked at her schedule for the day. Elpsis Elaris was on the list of folks she would be meeting with, but no time was given. So this was to be a drop-in meeting. But that didn't bother her, as much as it bothered her for it being Coryth Elaris' daughter. Who she had apparently injured quite severely in her past, though she didn't remember it exactly. This is going to be so awkward if that comes up. Possibly painful too. As long as my nose doesn't get broken again, I think it will all work out... Maybe.
