The receptionist at the moment was a Caitian female with golden fur with subtle white markings. She looked up and blinked golden eyes. “I see, hold on one moment,” she said as she turned to her attention to a screen. The desk space below was exceptionally tidy and only had the computer terminals and a small storage unit tucked underneath the the ledge that Ohsiro rested on. The Caitian worked at the computer and bragged something from the ledge, pressing it to a small scanner before handing a round chip it to Aiofemi. “This is your security pass for this building. As a member of the cabinet you will be able to come and go from the building as you need to and access any floor. Though both the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor’s floors both require your pass in the lift in order to be cleared to go up. Any guests you have wth you at the building that don’t work here must get a visitor’s pass here first. You will need to pass through security-“she gestured over to her left-“walking over the scanner and tapping your security pass. Security will let you right through that way with now delays.” She gave Oshiro a toothy grin. “Well, not today anyway. Both security lines are up and running”

Aiofemi appreciated the grin and returned it with one of her own. She nodded her head as she accepted the badge and said, “Thank you. “I have a question. Would my assistant need to sign in every time she visits? It is possible she could come here on my behalf frequently as the hospital is no too far from here.”

The receptionist said “You actually have offices here in the Tower, Director. So you can have whatever staff you wish. They will simply need to be vetted and approved by security prior to being issued credentials.”

Ai was under the impression that she would be officed at the hospital, where she could easily coordinate services and have a closer relationship with the staff. “So I will have an office here and at the hospital?” She asked hoping that the answer was Yes and yes.

The receptionist smiled a knowing smile that said this was not the first time they had had this conversation. “All Cabinet members and some Senior Star Fleet personnel have their official offices here in the Tower. Most also have satellite offices wherever they feel they need them. For instance, the last Social Services Director worked most of their time out of the satellite government administration offices on the west side of the city. The Colonial Finance Minister spends most of his time in the Galactic Trade Tower three blocks west. And of course the Commanding General of the Colonial Customs and Defense Agency has his headquarters on the orbital platform. But all have dedicated offices here, staffed of course, and they tend to conduct their more official and high-visibility tasks here. It also helps that this building is where most people come to meet with their representatives or whomever they need to speak to, and security is much tighter.” they said.

“Lieutenant Governor Dasca is on the second-to-last floor and it’s faster to take one of the far lifts as they only go to the upper half of the floors. When you come off the lift, turn right and down the hall are a set of offices. Those are her staff. Ms. Sreer will not doubt see you company and handle things from there. Welcome to Oed, Director Oshiro.”

After the receptionist had assisted Ai, she followed her instructions, walked to the lift, scanned her badge then programmed the Lt. Govenor’s floor into it. After reaching her destination she approached the Lt. Governor’s staff’s office. “Good morning, I am looking for Elema Sreer.” she paused a moment unsure she had pronounced the name correctly, then continued, “I am Dr. Oshiro, then new Director of Medical and Social Services. Security sent me up.” She sat her tote on a nearby desk and started searching for her new security badge only to quickly realize she had not put it in her bag and still had it in her hand. Ai briefly held it up before she placed the badge around her neck so she would not need to foolishly search for it again, then said, “My assistant, Samikah Jaxsyn, set up the meeting. Then she removed her beret from her head and began to smooth her hair.

Tower Reception

The reception desk was connected to an office space that also doubled as storage, but she spent most of her time at the front desk, being a visible presence for Dasca.

A head of vibrant purple hair moved as Aiofemi approached and a young woman looked up, her dark brown eyes gazing at Oshiro before she smiled and stood up. The leaf shaped forehead ridge marked her as a Napean. “Welcome, Director Oshiro. The Lieutenant Governor is indeed expecting you. She’ll just be a moment. Might I get you a beverage?”

~Elema Sreer

Ai smiled back at the woman as uncertainty as to whether she pronounced the woman’s name correctly fell from her mind, “Yes, please. I will take some mint tea. Also, I just love your hair color.” She studied the woman a brief moment then said, “You are Napeans, correct? I am sorry I don’t mean to gawk but I have only ever seen three of your species and you are the fourth. I served with a Napean counselor and deliver a healthy child for him and his spouse. He was a dear friend however I am sorry to say that I have lost contact with him.”

Elema smiled. “Thank you, and yes, I am Napean,” she said as she hit a button on her console.

Moving around the counter, Sreer moved down the partial hall. “If you’ll come with me.” They passed by a small meeting room (currently empty) on the right, and on the left was a slightly larger office space where a tall man with dark brown hair and a beard. Elema waved to him and he moved from his desk to the doorway, smiling at the new Director.

Aiofemi followed Elema.

“Director Oshiro, I’m Cort Belanger, Dasca’s Executive Assistant,” he said, offering her his hand. “Most things come through me, so if you need to meet with the Lieutenant Governor at any point, call me and I’ll arrange it.”

She offered her hand back to Cort. She looked at Elema and then Cort, “So you schedule the meetings?” Then she looked at Elema and said, “What do you do?”

Once the introductions were done, Sreer opened the door, admitting them both into the large rectangular office, which took over the corner of the building and was filled with windows directly ahead and to the right. Dasca’s polished black desk was L-shaped and set in the right corner so her back was to the windows, but she could gaze out along the long side. Currently, on this pleasant sunny day, the windows were strategically tinted to block glare on her computer screen. In front of her desk were two chairs backed by a decorative screen made of transparent glass tiles creating a mosaic of a mountainous landscape with a large waterfall. Hooked off the side of her desk was a simple black cane that nearly blended into the desk.

Aiofemi took note of the cane.

On the other side of the screen was a large oval table in the same black polished wood as her desk. It was set with many chairs around it that could double as a meeting space as well as a dining table. Adjacent to that in what was framed as a U-Shaped sitting nook were a large dark blue couch flanked by two light grey arm chairs nestled around an oval coffee table. It was something of an art piece, with a clear glass top and the base was a dark wood spiral that narrowed down to a round footing. Matching side tables were tucked in the ‘corners’ between the sofa and arm chairs.

Throughout the space were plants of various sizes from small trees to a living arrangement on her desk in a stone bowl. Hanging plants were strategically hung from the ceiling to take up blank space or help divide the large office into the cozier work and lounge areas. The interior walls were bare still, but then again Dasca had only been there a short while.

Aiofemi lifted her head and eyes to look at the plants hanging from the ceiling. It was a good sign that the Lieutenant Governor loved plants, it meant she was probably patient as well as tenacious and kind. This made Aiofemi feel less nervous and more inclined to meeting her. As they approach a woman sitting at a desk, Ai made eye contact.

Rising from her desk, Eela Dasca cut an elegant figure in black trousers, white blouse and a mid-thigh length black jacket embroidered all over in a floral pattern. Her black hair was swept into a twist, the subtle silver streaks swirling. “Welcome to Oed, Director Ohsiro. Come let’s have a chat, shall we?” she said, her warm yes taking in the woman as she gestured to the sitting area.

~Eela Dasca, Lt. Gov

“Thank you, Captain....um..Governor. Which title do you prefer I use when greeting you? She asked as she took a seat.

Ai Oshiro, DMSS
