At any other point in her life, Eela would have just said sure, but her brain was already accustomed to the multi-level thinking required for the security of her herself and others. This was going to go to the Tower. “The Tower has an emergency-only transporter system, for security’s sake. It’ll block anything that isn’t from a verified EMS signal and even then there are double-checks. As much as that would make life easier, I can’t ask them to bend the system for this. So… its’s honestly just easier if I take the plant with me and we have the equipment delivered later, or we haul it all back in the slider. Honestly, I can wait for the trellis and mister. The plant can sit on my desk and get to know me until the rest arrives,” Eela said, not at all upset with this option. Her fascination made her want to understand the nuances of the plant and that would only happen through interaction.

Sharah nodded, but she lookedlike she was trying to piece together an unusual puzzle. “Of course. Mirral we’ll take the plant and the pot from the trellis with us. And deliver the rest?”
Mirral nodded, “Of course,” she handed over a PaDD to input the relevant information. She placed the empty pot into a carry case and then climbed up a ladder and pulled the plant down. She exchanged it for the PaDD.
Sharah took the empty pot a day let Eela take her new plant. Sharah handed Mirral her credit chip and a few minutes later they were headed back down the block.
Fayth
It was admittedly probably a curious sight, her and Sharah walked along with Eela carrying a potted plant whose long tendrils of leaves were draped about her shoulders like feather boas. But there was an almost giddy smile on the Lieutenant Governor’s face, not unlike a child who had just won a prize at a carnival. She had even shot Chuck a wink even though her security team lead today was impeccably good at hiding his feelings from her. It was as if she knew he was amused anyway.
“I cannot wait to see what ridiculous headlines show up in the tabloids tomorrow if there are photos of this,” Eela said. “I can see it now: Lieutenant Governor Dasca training killer plants in new security scheme.” She laughed openly.

Sharah laughed, “Oh they have no idea what a killer plant is. I used to care for a giant Andorian Frost Beattle Lily. It was large enough to swallow a whole humanoid.”
The security check was…interesting, with all the trailing vines and the leaves and flowers reacting to all the handling. The plant was not happy with all the jostling.
Soon enough however they were on the lift and then stepping out on to Eela’s floor of the tower.
Fayth
Preceding Eela’s large office was a reception desk set next to large widows overlooking the colony where a Napean with purple-dyed hair was standing, eyeing something on the desk. She looked up and grinned at the sight and also her boss’ aura of sheer delight. “And here I asked Cort if we should be worried.”
“No, save that for tomorrow,” Eela deadpanned as they approached and she gestured. “Elema Sreer, meet Doctor Sharah Fayth.” She gazed at Fayth. “Elema is my Administrative Assistant and Receptionist.”
Sreer gave Sharah a warm bow of her head with a flourish of her hands. “Oh, the good doctor we’ve heard so much about. I bow to your masterful skills of persuasion,” she said, both teasingly but also rather serious.
Eela just shook her head with amusement. “Do you see what I have to put up with?”
