“Afternoon, Miss Raain,” Brad said, beckoning the young Trill over.
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffAlexis looked up and nodded politely. She liked Raain and hated what had happened to her. Alexis understood, too well, being manipulated into a life she didn’t want. She considered Raain a very good student and she had worked hard in secondary sickbay when Alexis had been there.
Frigga on the other hand lost her grip slightly on the tug toy seeing one of her favorite patients walk in. She whined happily and then remembering the game tried to get her hold back on the toy.
Bonner and Frigga
Octavia, in a good mood, bounced over to the couple. The word couple caused her to pause before speaking and wondered if indeed they were a ‘couple’ she chuckled internally, “Good Afternoon Commander” She nodded in his direction and then to Alxis, “Lieutenant” She finally looked to her favourite canine, “And Hellow to you Frigga” She smiled down at him before looking back to the two officers. “How are you both today? It’s beautiful in her isn’t it?” She exclaimed. She had never been one to be nervous around offices, unlike Govan before her and while she could remember what that feeling was like she just couldn’t imagine be scared to say hello to someone just for the rank on their lapel.

“Absolutely. Best part of this ship, in my opinion,” Brad said. Whoever had managed to get it in the design deserved a medal.

Chief of Staff“Frigga agrees wholeheartedly. It does the whole crew a lot of good health wise, but I do have to admit I have developed a fondness for the arboretum.” Was that a grin that crossed her face? If so it was there and gone so quick it was hard to know for sure. “Anything in particular that’s your favorite, ‘Tai?” adopting the preferred nickname the girl seemed to prefer now, “I have to admit I’m amazed at the variety of species they fit into such a relatively small space.”
Bonner
The young trill looked behind her, “Well it would be rude to have favourites but I enjoy painting the Lillies” She chuckled, “Thats when Frigga isn’t trying to pose as a very fluffy flower.” ‘Tai then passed the question back to Bonner, “What about you? Anything particular?” She’d noticed that Bonner didn’t either know or like to smile if Octavia hadn’t been looking up at the older woman or blinked she’d have missed it.

“Frigga does enjoy being the center of attention.” She reached down and snagged the tug toy and pulled back and forth with her for a moment before Frigga let go. Alexis tossed it high into the air and it went about four feet but Frigga snatched it out of the air before it landed. “The herb garden, specifically the English Lavender planted there. Reminds me of my mother’s garden. What about yourself Dr. Walker?”
“I personally prefer the trees,” Brad said. “Lillies? Is there a pond in here?”
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff“It doesn’t classify as a full size pond, it would have to be big enough to be at least 24 foot deep on average and roughly 150 square feet in over all size. But small garden ponds can range from 2 feet deep to 6 feet deep and any size over all. It depends on the space. There is a garden pond with a small water feature in the back starboard corner. Frigga hates it. Can’t stand to get wet.”
Bonner
‘Tai Smiled, “Not all species of Lillies need water most, in fact, the majority love compost as much as the next plant type. My favourite is the Spathiphyllum or Peace Lily its a genus of about 47 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to Earths tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia.” She turned a little pink, “Sorry I’m good with medicines but I do love my flowers.” She apologised.
- Octavia Raain
“That’s fine, a lot of early medicines came from flowers and plants,” Brad said. “I mean, now we synthesize pretty much everything, but it’s nice to have a place to grow some of the original stuff in a pinch.”
Maybe he’d devote a part of his oversized office space to a small hydroponic herb plot. Tending those would be something to do in between reviewing reports and requisitions, and he’d heard gardening could be rather relaxing.
