Voodoo, Revisited

A little over a week ago- if one goes strictly and solely by the calendar- Ellen went through the basics of an assessment test with a certain ex-Navy specialist. (She's still not entirely clear on what a SEAL is. Or a plain old ordinary seal, as in the animal. But she figures that if it were relevant, he'd have said something.) Since then, she's been practicing all the required events and practicing hard, and abusing the living daylights out of the Milliways time phenomenon to do it. A day of practice and training at the Bar followed by a full night's sleep is followed by a day and night of the same at the Citadel, as much to avoid being questioned about why she's improving so quickly as to double up on her practice time. It's been effective, she thinks.

She hopes, anyway.

Well, only way to find out is to get up good and early and head out to where she's agreed to meet Voodoo for another assessment run-through...
