After meeting with the Europa‘s security chief, Stephen returned to his quarters to review the other DH’s profiles. He skimmed through the first two, then got to Lieutenant Nox’s file, which he began to skim through as well.

Of course, as any sane person with Stephen’s newly-acquired clearance level would, he stopped and stared as soon as he caught the words “alternate universe.” Then he stared some more. Then he hastily read through the rest of the file. Then he stood up and speed-walked out the door to the turbolift.

A few minutes later he arrived at the Counselor’s office and rang the bell, actively putting in effort to keep his feet from jittering in excitement.

The door did not open. It seemed Siennadye Nox was not in her office but rather at present enjoying her lunch in the Arboretum, sitting on a bench and not knowing someone wished to speak with her.

Nox, CNS

After a few moments, Stephen rang the bell again, then again, his feet gradually slowing down in their jittering. Finally, he disappointedly turned away from the door and walked back to his own quarters.

After minute or two of wallowing in disappointment and contemplating getting in the hot tub, Stephen had a moment of realization, that being that it would be completely normal for him to just contact the Counselor directly. So with a shake of his head at himself, he touched his commbadge. =^= Stous to Lieutenant Nox, please report to… =^= he paused for a moment, remembering Siennadye’s past with alternate-Johann. Normal-Johann, of course, resided in his quarters just next door. If not here, or her office, which would be quite odd, then where? he thought.

Then, of course, he had an oh-so-very-ironic idea. =^= …to the Arboretum, at your earliest convenience. =^= He headed for the turbolift, making his own way to Deck 5.

Sienna listened to the communication with immense curiosity, wondering why the new XO had not simply made an appointment. Then again, she thought with a shrug, perhaps he simply wanted to get it over with and was being a bit overzealous. She didn’t mind that he wanted to see her. She simply got up and retained a few more lunch offerings to set with her own so that perhaps Lt Commander Stous would enjoy some lunch as well. She didn’t know how long it would take him to get to her, but she was fairly easy to see from both doors, sitting on a blanket underneath a beautiful willow tree.

The Counselor was not dressed in her uniform. Though a counselor could never be truly considered off duty, it was her day out of her office and on her own personal time unless a crew member needed her attention. She placed the spread of lunch items in a somewhat pleasing display and continued to eat the fruit she had been munching on when he had called her to the exact place she happened to be.

Nox, CNS

OOC: Sorry for the late reply! Finals week had me in the gutter.

IC:
Stephen arrived at the Arboretum around two minutes after he sent Nox the message, immediately spotting her from the doorway. Odd, he thought, eyeing the food surrounding her and her off-duty clothing, but in his excitement he passed on making any connections to interrupting her lunch and instead just assumed that she wanted to make a good impression. Of course, a good impression would probably imply being in uniform… oh well.

Stous approached Siennadye, taking care not to do so too eagerly. “Lieutenant Nox, I believe? Lieutenant Commander Stous, pleasure to meet you.” He extended a hand. “I hoped you’d be a fan of the ship’s green space.”
