Two Months Prior - Federation Council Chambers, Earth…

“All in favor?” and delegates from Federation member worlds pressed an icon in front of them. “Opposed?” asked the Vulcan at the head of the assembly. Some, but not nearly as many as the yes group, pressed an icon. The Vulcan looked at the screen in front of her. “The motion carries. By a vote of one hundred thirty seven to sixteen, Dr. Kenzo B’Tren-Hyrushi is appointed as the new Governor of Oed V colony. Per special request, the public announcement of the appointment will be withheld until his official arrival. Good luck, Dr. Hyrushi.”

The Asian man with black eyes standing in the center of the room bowed his head. He was dressed in a fine suit of dark gray with a jade green tie. A red-jeweled tie pin held the accessory in place. “Thank you, Madame President. Thank you Assembly. I will strive to earn your trust in me.” and he turned and left the chambers.

The man who would be the Governor of Oed V had been in the city for two weeks after a long and boring trip on a shuttle bound for the colony. He had booked passage under an assumed name and made his way with the others who traveled to the remote colony for the same reason he did… a new start with new challenges. Hotel rooms, a bed and breakfast, even a seedy motel had been his quarters. He had walked the streets, talked to people of all walks of life. He even made a friend or two, although no one knew who he really was. It gave him a perspective that he felt he would miss had he simply arrived and been ‘The Governor’. It also provided him with a list of needed projects that could be addressed quickly and easily, allowing him time to adjust to the new role while still being productive.

It was one of those projects that brought him, three days before he was supposed to arrive, to the Government Tower. Mr. Hakido Yamasuto, as he was known for now, had an appointment with the Lieutenant Governor to discuss the needed repairs of the sewer system in the Fairview Housing Towers, a group of buildings that were designed for those with not much to give back to society. The meeting had been made by a local community group who was known to help those less fortunate.

Arriving at the tower, the man walked inside and to the reception desk in the main lobby. “Hello. I am Hakido Yamasuto. I am here to speak with Lieutenant Governor Xavier, please. I have an appointment.” he said softly, but with a slight smile. The receptionist pulled up the calendar and then smiled and said “Yes, sir. Take the lift to the top floor. Speak with the receptionist there.” and she pointed at the bank of lifts. ‘Hakido’ smiled and nodded and followed the directions. Soon he was sitting outside the Lieutenant Governor’s office, waiting to meet the man he had read so much about.

Gov. Hyrushi, er, I mean ‘Mr. Yamasuto’

The Lt. Governors receptionist was actually a SF yeoman named Alina who instructed the man to wait and the Lt. Governor would be with him shortly. Shortly came 15 minutes later.

“The Lt. Governor will see you now.” The officer said and pointed toward the wide double sliding automated door that was the entry to the Captains office.
