Posted by Ensign Reil Adami (Diplomatic Trainee) in Deck 4 - Checking In with Diplomatic Attache
Having finished with her boarding physical, Adami figured it was a good time for her to check in with her Department Head. She looked at her PaDD to see the information she was provided. “Civilian Revna Freya McKenzie…Deck 4, near the VIP quarters. Seems simple enough,” she said to herself, heading towards the turbolift and calling out her destination. Upon exiting the turbolift, Adami studied the map closely to make sure she didn’t get lost. But all of the sudden, she bumped into someone. Multiple someones. She looked up to see a large mass of people outside of the very office she was trying to reach. Those at the front had their ears pressed against the door. Adami was not expecting the Diplomatic Attache to be this popular. Nevertheless, she had a job to do. After sneaking her way through the crowd, she finally reached the doorchime. ‘What is going on with these people?’ she thought as she rang the doorchime.Ensign Reil Adami, Diplomatic Trainee
“Hey what are you doing?!” One of the off-duty crew muttered as Adami made her way past.
An Ops officer, older than most the rest, “You can wait back here with the rest of us. No need to get impatient.”
“You know Mrs McKenzie won’t open the door before 0830.” That was a science officer.
“Hey out of her way. She’s the new diplomatic trainee officer,” a security officer piped up.
“Yeah how do you know that?” the science officer snapped back.
“Because I did what Mrs McKenzie told us to do and not take anything for granted and be informed and aware.” He looked at Adami. “Sorry about that. Welcome aboard.” He stuck out his hand, “I’m Johnson.”
The copper haired blonde was leaned back in her chair, feet on desk, fingers tapping out the rhythm to the latest list of songs Mike had sent her. Revna was determined to enjoy her tea before the masses over flowed her office. In reality she didn’t mind at all, just today she wasn’t feeling overly social. She would never deny the group this small diversion though. At the chime Revna sat up, dropping her feet to the floor. It wasn’t one of the group waiting to get in, they knew not to press the chime before it was time. A small curtesy she insisted on. She glanced up at the ceiling where Mike’s voice was coming through the speakers, “Sorry Love, I’ll have to turn you down for a bit. My appointment is here,” and she grinned at herself. “Computer lower volume to level 1.” The computer trilled and the music became a soft whispered background melody to the room.
Revna got up and walked to the door opening it to the mass, but spotting Adami immediately. She was a bit early, but Revna respected that. “Sorry everyone, duty first.
You’ll have to come back after lunch.” There was a lot grumbling disappointment, but slowly they dispersed. “Be welcome, En Reil. Please come in and sit down.” Revna had a ready smile and a calm manner. “Would you like anything from the replicator?”
The office was decorated in earth tones: browns, coppers, greens, deep blues and reds, soft oranges. There were paintings on the walls, real paintings, not reprints, of beautiful landscapes of glaciers, deep fjords, snow capped mountains. A shelving unit on the wall held a wide range of mementoes from species and cultures from around the Alpha and Beta quadrants. Above her desk was a large round wooden shield edged in metal. Runic writing adorned it. The wood was painted a deep wine color and the writing was in a deep cobalt blue. In the center was a depiction of shield crossed by a claymore and a traditional Nordic bearded axe. On the wall across from her desk was a small but comfortable sitting area with a couch and two chairs and a low table. Her desk was neat but it was also equally obvious she was preparing her work for the day.
