Nicholas unclipped his rank pips and set them on his desk. He changed out of his uniform and donned civilian clothes. It had been a day. He had decisions to make. Decisions that had pressed on the back of his mind for months, itching his conscience and soul. He stood at the replicator and requested a box. Just… a box. He stuffed it in his jacket pocket and considered what he was about to do.Nicholas walked out of his home and down several streets. Such as he was, he drew little attention, but he hoped no one was watching. Coming to the Government building, it was after hours, everyone would be gone, he needed to get in under his own power. he went around the back, found a service hatch and crawled in. It was quite the maze, but he got into the Governor’s office, sat behind the desk, and waited.
Morning came, and when the door opened Nicholas said “Good morning Hyrushi. You’re a tad late.”

For his part, Kenzo seemed non-plussed by the man’s occupation of his chair. The advantage of being who and what he was, emotions were detectable even through doors.
“Mr. James. I would say this is a surprise… but we both know that would be a lie. Perhaps you could let me sit in my chair, you can sit like a welcome guest, and you can regal me with whatever diatribe you have teed up for me? And please… wipe off the desk. I don’t know what ventilation shaft you crawled through to get here, but don’t leave the detritus on my things, thank you very much.” and he shooed the man away form his chair as if he was nothing more than an irritating toddler.
Hyrushi, Governor
“Your desk is fine.” Nicholas rose and switched seats with Hyrushi. “I would never use anything as pedestrian as an air vent. A Jeffries tube, certainly.” He sat silently for a moment. “I need your assistance Hyrushi. I need a doctor. One from… alternative channels.”
