Første date - Angela

Efter introduktionen, var den første runde af "dates" gået i gang. Moira havde diskret trukket sig længere ind i skyggen med sin drink og fundet en interessant artikel frem på sin telefon. Hun var af og til blevet forstyrret, men det var lykkedes hende at holde afbrydelserne korte.

"I an very devoted to my partner.", "I know I will chose her." og "I do not see a future between us" havde holdt de fleste fra at blive i længere samtaler. Det var jo nærmest helt hyggeligt at være her, næsten som en ferie.

Angela havde været rundt og snakke med alle... alle på nær Olivias partner, Moira? Hun så sig omkring og spottede hende over i skyggen. Hun tog sin drink og gik over til hende, smilede høfligt "hey, I'm Angela. We haven't had the change to talk yet, do you mind if I sit?"

Moira så op på den blonde kvinde. Pænt ansigt, sødt smil. Moira sukkede svagt, men det var vel derfor Olivia var her. "I don't know yet. Sit down and let us find out"

Angela blinkede med øjnene, men satte sig. Ikke helt sikker på hvordan hun skulle fortolke det svar?

"Have you had some good dates so far?" spurgte hun med et smil.

Moira hævede et øjenbryn. "Not particularly" sagde hun og rystede på hovedet. "Have you been enjoying your time here?"

"It's been fine" Angela nikkede "there seem to be some nice people here... your partner, uh.. ex, Olivia? She's a nice girl" hun smilede til hende

Moira så lidt skeptisk på hende. "Hm ... nice?" hun rystede lidt på hovedet. "But she is clever, which is much to be prefered"

"Oh, she is?" Angela nikkede interesseret og så i retning af Sombra før hun så tilbage på Moira "that's good, I like that that's the first thing you say about her"

Moira så lidt skeptisk på hende. "Of course. What do you like about your partner?"

"He's a really talented nurse" svarede Angela med et smil "he's great at handling patients, he brings such a positive energy in a stressful space, and he can keep up with me when we are working and is not afraid to pull long nights."

Moira så hende an og nikkede lidt. "Ah, a coworker. I can relate" hun så hende lidt an. "And are you a nurse aswell?"

"A doctor" Angela smilede og så interesseret på hende "you work with Olivia? So you're in IT?"

Moira så lidt overraskede på Angela. "No, I work with medicine. Olivia is in our IT department"

"Oh you work with medicin?" spurgte Angela positivt overrasket "do you write articles? What was your last name?"

Moira kom til at smile lidt. "I have written a few. O'Deorain, Moira O'Deorain"

Angela så overrasket på Moira og gik fra nysgerrig, til mindre glad! Angela havde læst Moiras arbejde! Alt Moira's arbejde! Og hvor man jo ikke kunne benægte kvinden var genial, så var hun ikke enig med hendes metoder!

"Ah." Angela lænede sig lidt tilbage og lagde benene over kors "O'Deorain?" hun referede navnet på en af Moira's nyeste og... kontroversielle artikler!

Moira blinkede og lænede sig derimod lidt frem. "Indeed. You have read it? And you do seem to have some opinion on the matter"

"I have read it" svarede Angela og hævede et øjenbryn "no opinion that you haven't already heard already, I am sure." hun så skeptisk på hende og.. eh angreb så en af hendes metoder som man generelt i det medisinske community ikke var cool med!

Moira kom til at smile og så hende interesseret an. "Hm, yes I have heard that point before. But as I have yet to hear anyone deny og dispute my results, I think arguing about the method used is a good way to waste time. I would argue that only good has been added by these experiments"

"I am sure you would" sagde Angela skeptisk "it is much safer to argue for results when you have gotten the desired results, and dismiss any arguement about the methods when you are well aware how risky those methods are"

Moira så interesseret på hende. "And what do you think I was risking, that would not have been worth the price?"

"I think you were risking -dangerous side-effects-" svarede Angela køligt "that could have been properly tested for."

Moira så hende an. "Hm, but that would have taken longer. Tell me, would it had been worth the wait?"

"The only reason you can say that so confidently is because nothing went wrong. But if you had been wrong, if people had died, or if it hadn't worked" hun så skeptisk på hende

Moira så hende an. "Hm .. but what if I had waited and more people had died, because our product was not ready in time?"
