Akane sat at her desk and sighed as she looked at the pile of boxes in the corner. Moving had never been her favourite thing and she loathed unpacking. On her last posting it had taken her 4 months to unpack all her stuff but she had decided that this was a new posting and a new leaf. Reluctantly she grabbed one of the boxes and dragged it across the floor towards her. She gently took out one of her most prized possessions, a family picture. She gently touched the image of her sister’s face and said a silent prayer that she would return. It had been 13 years since her sister ran away from home, Akane had only been 15 but that day still haunted her. No one from the family had seen or heard from her since but deep down Akane knew she was still out there somewhere and that one day they would be reunited. She popped the picture of them in pride of place on her desk.

Shuffling a few bits around she looked at the next box and sighed then shook her head and tapped her comm badge.

=^= Lt Sakai to all crew, please contact me at your earliest convenience to arrange a routine psychological examination…=^= she paused for a moment, knowing that for most officers this was not exactly their favourite thing to do so perhaps she needed to sweeten the deal a bit. =^=…the first 5 crew members to book a session get cake…=^= she added with a smile, that would certainly have worked on her so she was hoping it had the same effect on the outpost crew.

As she waited for the replies to flood in, Akane took a moment to start looking over personnel files. She briefly glanced back at the unopened boxes and grabbed a throw off her sofa and chucked it over the remaining luggage. “Out of sight, out of mind…” she chuckled to herself as she grabbed a cup of coffee from the replicator and went back to reading.

Lt Sakai (CNS)

Baldur was working when the message rung in Ops. He looked around the room at the slow buzz. He opened up a new tab on his console and started typing a message, not wanting to move away from his duty station to answer verbally. ‘I am ready whenever, I’m attaching my work schedule. I have room both after my current shift and before my afternoon shift tomorrow.’ He typed ‘Regards. Lieutenant Commander Bragason’ He signed off and sent the message.

SOO - Bragason

Akane noticed the message pop up on her console and promptly tapped out a reply.

To: Lieutenant Commander Bragason

Thank you for your prompt reply Lt Commander, why don’t you pop in after you finish your shift and we can have a chat. I look forward to meeting you.

Regards

Lt Sakai (CNS)

Baldur answered with an affirmative before logging of his Messenger and returning to work. A few hours later after finishing his shift, he made his way directly to the counselor’s office. He took a moment to straighten his uniform and check his massive beard for any marks of uncleanliness. After a moment of checking himself, he hit the chime and placed his hands behind his back.

SOO - Bragason

Akane looked up from her desk and put her best smile on. “Come in!” she called out as she stood to meet Bragason. “Lt Commander, thank you for joining me, please do have a seat,” she said as she gestured to the empty chair. “What can I get you drink to go with your cake?” she asked with a grin, as she placed a box of delicately decorated cakes on the desk in front of them. Although Akane had found this a good way to entice people to have their evaluations, the main reason she did it was so that she had an excuse to eat cake herself.

Lt Sakai (CNS)

Baldur raised an eyebrow in slight surprise as if the thought of cake hadn’t entered his mind yet “Uhm, just milk thank you” He smiled politely as he sat down, observing her room with great care.

SOO - Baldur

Akane smiled and nodded. “Of course,” she replied as she walked across to the replicator and ordered a milk and a peppermint tea for herself. She placed the glass in front of him and took her own seat. “So Lt Commander, how long have you been serving on the outpost?” she asked, taking a sip of her tea.

Lt Sakai (CNS)

Baldur raised an eyebrow questioningly “Just a few days, I arrived during the latest Romulan trouble, transferred from Starbase 234” He grabbed the glass of milk and took a small sip.

SOO - Baldur

Akane nodded as she made a quick note on her padd. “So what made you choose this assignment?” she asked as she opened the box of cakes and slid them across the desk. “Please do help yourself,” she added as she took another sip of peppermint tea.

Lt Sakai (CNS)

Baldur reached over and took a slice and placed it on a plate “Well it was time, I had a successor in place at 234 that I felt was ready for her own department and there was an opening here.” He took a bite from the cake but didn’t place it in his mouth yet “I’ve had some relations with the Romulans in the past, mostly contacts I made during the Dominion War that I’ve stayed in touch with. Plus the station has a dedicated Strategic Operations team that had no leader so to speak.”

SOO - Baldur
