Cara hated warp flight. Made her sick to her stomach. Supposedly you couldn’t feel a ship moving at warp speeds with the interital dampeners. Maybe that was the problem. She knew she was moving but couldn’t tell. She had to take anti neausa meds while on ships. Impulse speeds, she could do without blinking, but warp....she shuddered and crawled out of bed and into the bathroom. Sonic showers…why did she ever leave Earth? What was so wrong with water? Well she’d be planet side soon. The ship was docking with the orbital station and then she’d catch a shuttle to the planet and Oed V. The ship’s captain assured her her things would be transferred and she wouldn’t have to stay and make sure.Cara had finished her PhD in education just a few months prior. She’d intended to stay on Catawba colony for longer, but one of their ‘children’ had decided to come home and teach the next generation. Cara loved it, the colony, which had struggled for many years, was starting to flourish and it was really a large family. She’d had her time to be a part of it and now she was moving on. The only thing she hated about this posting - she couldn’t bring her horse. Hawkeye had to be sent home to Earth. She’d gotten a message, in transit, from her sister that he’d arrived safely. He had been her companion for years. She supposed the black Arabian deserved to run the green hills of Ireland in his old age. And her baby sister adored him, so he’d be well pampered in his old age.
The line to disembark was full of jostling, shoving, and waiting. Cara suffered it good naturedly. And then customs and claiming everything in her bag. She also passed a PaDD claiming everything in her cargo for them to double check as they got to it. She just hoped she didn’t have to wait a week for her clothes. Then quickly got the location of the shuttles to the colony and made her way there. More lines, more jostling. First the quarter master to make sure they had the ID numbers for her things, and well Cara didn’t carry a lot, but she was moving here so there was more than most people. Then another line to wait in for her ride down. Finally it was her turn to get on the shuttle. The pilot offered to let her transport down but she refused. “Thank you Lt. but I want to see my new home from a bird’s eye view.” The pilot was a young enlisted officer in Star Fleet and gave her quite the show as he flew the shuttle around the colony.
Satchel draped across her shoulder, Cara disembarked. Auburn red hair pulled back in an intricate series of braids and then pinned into loops. Green eyes took in the colony from ground level. She wore a light weight lavender cotton dress. Cara preferred skirts and dresses to pants. It was a personal choice, and just what she preferred. To date they had never stopped her from keeping up with the children in her charge. She took a deep breath of the air inside the dome and oriented herself to the map she’d memorized. Then she took off toward the governor’s office. She’d made an appointment and Cara was never late. She still had half an hour, so no time to dawdle. She walked into the office and up to the person at the desk. “Cara Esme O’Farrell. I have an appointment with the governor. I’m the new education director.”
Cara“Of course. The Governor is expecting you. One moment please, Director.” and the Bajoran woman pressed an icon on her holodisplay and looked at Cara. “He will be just a minute, if you’d like to sit.” she said and a voice behind her said “That won’t be necessary, Linn.”
Cara smiled sweetly at the woman. It never hurt to know the administrative assistants in a place. They were the ones who got things done.
A human male in a well-tailored suit of deep blue with a dark purple shirt and black tie stood in the doorway to the Governor’s office. Long black hair hung to just past his shoulders, and was tied back in the traditional Japanese style. He was quite handsome, but the most the most striking part of him were his eyes. Almond shaped as was the norm for the Japanese of Earth, his eyes were jet black with no visible pupils. Just shining obsidian taking in the figure standing in reception.
Walking over, he extended a hand and said “Dr. O’Farrell. It is indeed a pleasure. Please, come in. We have much to discuss.”
Hyrushi, Governor
Cara turned at the sound of a man’s voice and gave the Governor of her new home a good once over. Nice clothes, fit well, good posture, self assured or at least good at appearing so. Well wasn’t he nice tall glass of water on a hot day. And at least 1/2 Betazoid. Well Cara wasn’t one to curb her opinion. There was curtesy of course but tact but when you work with telepathic children you tend to loose your embarrassment quickly over such things. Cara chuckled quietly to herself. She’d been on a ship traveling too long. She grasped his hand firmly and gave it a solid shake. “Governor Hyrushi. The pleasure is mine.” She moved past him into the office and took a chair across from him. “Yes your communiques indicated as such.” She reached into the worn canvas messenger bag and passed over a PaDD, “My credentials, transcripts, tests scores, diplomas, and certifications, as promised.”
Cara, DoE“Excellent. Thank you.” Hyrushi replied and slid the PaDD out of the way for later review. “I trust your trip here was uneventful? We have had some issue with smaller vessels being harrassed. I hope that was not the case with you.”
Hyrushi, Governor
Karina nodded, not that it would have bothered her had it not been. She’d been hoping her transport would be targeted, it would have allowed her to get more information. See what the syndicate, if those raids were syndicate, was up to. “The trip was uneventful and pleasant. In fact, other than being busy, the process through customs was easy and efficient. What can you tell me of the colonies educational needs, Govenor?” Karina’s voice always sounded thoughtful and purposeful. Being Cairn she often had to stop and consider if she was choosing the correct words for the images in her mind. Even though she had her vocal enhancer since she was very young, she still tried to choose her words with care.
Enger, TeacherBump
Kenzo smiled slightly and said “The needs of the colonial education system are vast and daunting. Especially with the goals I have in mind. You see, Ms. Enger… I want you to build us a Federation renowned University. Research, education, development… Oed is about to undergo a massive change. The upgrading of our current Education system is of paramount and long-lasting importance. In ten years, I do not want to have to import experts. I want experts coming here on their own… because they know Oed is the best place to be. Are you the woman for the job?” and he looked at her, reaching out to feel if she grasped the enormity of the task she had before her.
Hyrushi, Governor
