Karina had not spoken with Hoka in some time. Though she continued to submit forms and requests for the incoming teachers and such and they continued to be approved. However plans for the business school were finalized and soon to be opened. Since the school was being named after him she thought he should be the first to tour the new building.

She sat at her desk and typed a quick invitation.

Good morning Hoka,

I do hope that you are doing well and the Zoo continues to prosper. I was hoping you would join me on the university campus today or tomorrow, when your schedule permits.

Karina

Enger, DOE

Hoka just got back for a geology expedition that lasted six months and was getting back in the swing of things when he got a message from Karina. “Oh! Well of course I can!” He sent out the reply. =/\= I would love to come over today around 2pm and the Zoo is doing fantastic! I cannot wait to see what you have done since I have been away.

Hoka =/\=

HE took a sonic shower and got dressed in his favorite suit and went out to meet her.

Hoka

At just before 2pm Karina left her office and took the lift down to the main lobby. She was wearing a dark purple, almost blue, slacks, a light pink blouse, and flat pumps. Seeing Hoka stepping through the doors, Karina made her way over, grasping both his hands and giving a firm squeeze, a traditional Cairn greeting. “Hoka! It is good to see you. What have you been doing these last months?”

Enger

He was very pleased to see her as well and was equally gleeful when he saw her. “I have been outside the dome so to speak, in the unexplored territories looking for minerals and the like, surveying for future towns and cities and just basically trying to get away from the office. I am glad that my assistant was able to keep up with you for the University and help pay. I did not expect to be gone as long as I did, and I apologize for not letting you know my whereabouts. Please forgive me.”

Hoka

“Hoka, do not apologize. We all need our diversions. It sounds that your trip was…” Karina paused for the word, “enjoyable?” She moved over to a cafe cart. “We have fuzzgourd and Eelwasser if you would like some?”

“Your assistant has been mmmarvelous. I am glad that you were able to come today. I have missed our chats.”

Enger

Rubbing his stubby little hands together and grinning showing his razor sharp teeth. “I would love some! Thank you!” He went over to the cart and picked up some. “You want some as well?” After placing a couple pieces on the small plates provided, he continued. “My trip was enjoyable. That would be the correct word. It was a lot of hard work and hiking to survey, but it gave me a better understanding of the terrain then by simply scanning it from a ship. I have outlined areas that I wish to start mining at and to help OED with planning more cities. It has been expressly forbidden for me or Zerbo to buy land and then resell or lease it to companies. Although I hate to lose out on all of that profit, the Governor is correct as Zerbo and I could literally buy all the available land on this whole planet. It would be unfair to the other parties. We can however assist with their trading and help finance their new adventures, so in the end, we would still make a very good profit. I project that with the revenue from two of the mines, I want, will provide for all of the schools and zoo’s needs and then some.” He just remembered something. “I am sorry my dear. I have missed our chats as well and here I am just babbling away. What have you been doing since I have been away? How have you and your daughter been?”

Hoka

Karina grinned, “Babble away. I am happy to listen. It sounds like quite the venture you are plan…planning. Do you find the restriction placed upon you too much, or are you still pleased to be helping the community grow?”

“I do not mid the restrictions. I am a changed Ferengi and so is Zerbo as I have been told. Now if we were the Atypical Ferengi, then we would have a problem with it, but as I said before, we still will make more latinum every six months then most planets make in a year. I am very pleased in helping the community grow. That is why I established the university and the other schools here with my own money and not wanting a profit.”

Karina smiled, but it was slight. “Rondara and her father left the colony.”

Enger

Hoka’s smile faded. “Oh. I am very sorry to hear that. I did not mean to bring up any bad memories. But I stand by my word earlier, I vowed to pay for all of Rondara’s education and have even set up a fund for that. By the way, I forgot to tell you about that, so you will need to go to the bank and sign your name to it, so you can access it for her education. There will be more than enough latinum in there for her education, trips and everything else she will need. No matter where she goes and for how long. I was hoping to say goodbye at least but I can hopefully get that chance in the future.”

Hoka

“That is very kind of you Hoka. One day they may return. Jodar and Rondara’s needs led them elsewhere for now. They are together and happy. That is what is…tantamount.”

Seeing the tension he did not bring it up anymore.

She took a coffee from the cart and headed out the doors. “So as we discussed many many months ago. In exchange for your assistance in helping our faculty relocate and your contributions to our curriculum, the governor and I promised to name the business school after you. And now it is complete. I thought you would like to be the first to tour the building.”

Enger

“Wow! I am honored! Truly! I was just doing what was right and it is nice to be recognized in this way. Immortalized really. I would love a tour my lady. Please lead on!” He was very, very ecstatic!

Hoka

Karina led the way out of the administrative building and across the main central square of the campus. To a building that blended in with the rest of the campus but also had a slightly smoother and richer aesthetic. Karina made her way up to the door and keyed in a code. The door swung open to a moderate sized lobby. On the far wall was a portrait of Hoka with a plaque identifying him as the name sake of this division of the school. The walls were covered in displays that showed the current financial news and the current data for all the major stock exchanges across the quadrant.

OOC Since it is named for Hoka I thought I would let you describe how the rest of the building looks, if you like.

Enger, DoE

His eyes widened and so did his smile. “Magnificent! This lobby is a great place for them to learn the market already!” The rest of the building was stately in nature and there were rooms to mimic what it is like on different planets financial districts, which the students would have to learn as well as a financial manager from that district there to teach them.

Hoka

As they entered the main lobby again, along the back of the main desk was a example of all the text books for each class taught within the department.

“There will be a grand opening next week, you will of course attend?” Karina asked.

Enger

“Absolutely!” He said picking up the textbooks one by one and looking through them. He sat them down. “Could I get a copy of these books to look at before we open? I want the best information as possible in these and would like to check them over?”

Hoka.

“Of course.” She picked up her command made a call. “They will be delivered to your office at the zoo. All of our courses have been designed to compete with the top programs across the alpha and beta quadrants. Including the information you supplied from Ferenginar. And of course our complete program curriculums were verified, approved and certified by the accrediting organizations.”
