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.

Bump

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

Karina sat back after he finished. Was she the the person for the job? 10 years was not a problem as far as a commitment to such a position as she’d taken. What was hidden deep where no one would be able to pick up was the fact she was also there for SFI and whether or not they would leave her here when that was done. But a university? Her eyes lit up at the idea. It was a MASSIVE undertaking, and the realiation of that would show clearly on her face and in her emotions that Hyrushi could pick up. “That is quite the undertaking, Governor. Not impossible, but daunting. 10 years is a rather short time table for such a thing. We will have to start today. I suggest starting by offering technical and trade degrees. There is enough of that going on here on Oed V to provide unique educational opportunities and place those programs at the top of the list. What is your end goal? Trade school, liberal arts, science, Bachelor’s degrees, or beyond? What is the budget like? And while we’re at it, we can’t let the actual school for the children lack, it will be need to be just as on par with the goals for your university, or it speaks very poorly of the whole system.” There was excitement tempered by practicality. “Am I the right person for the job? Certainly. I can’t do it all, but I know how to find the right people for the job. What kind of incentives are you offering to get instructors and staff to come here?”
Enger, ED

Kenzo smiled and leaned back in his chair, black eyes fixed on her.

“Tell me, Ms. Enger… what do you know of Holloway Heavy Industries?” he asked with slight smile.

Hyrushi, Governor

“They are one of the, if not the, biggest defense contractors in the Federation. And I believe my ‘welcome’ packet listed one Lucas Elliot Holloway as a new prominent member of the colony. He is the owner and CEO isn’t he?”
Enger, ED
