Posted by Ensign Matthew Riley (Science Officer) in Counselor’s Office: Ensign Riley Checking In
Riley boarded the turbolift on deck 13 and leaned back against the wall as the doors slid closed. Leave one investigation for another, he mused. One with a potentially wider impact. He shook his head, exhaling slowly.

=^= Please state your destination, =^= intoned the voice from the comm speaker by the door.

He straightened and tugged down his top. =^= Deck 11, counselor’s office, =^= he requested.

He stepped off a few seconds later and glanced at his PADD to check directions. I just did this, he thought outside the door. Then again, I did just also participate in a murder investigation. Well, a small part.

He took a deep breath and pressed the counselor’s office door chime.

He rocked back and forth on his heels waiting for a response.

Dinui had slowly been making small changes to the office that was now her own, the color in the room was a cool mint green along the port side walls, the starboard side were lavender. There were several shelves around the room each with it’s own center piece, the majority were from her personal collection of bonsai trees, two shelves however had blank canvas and sealed painting kits. She sat in a chair, the desk was significantly smaller than it had been for the previous counselor, she wanted the extra room for a bigger couch and set of chairs for folks to sit comfortable and relax. There was a platter of fresh croissants on her desk and at the sound of the chime she looked up with a smile, “It’s open!”

Dinui rose to her feet and nodded at the room, “Make yourself at home, would you like anything to drink or maybe one of these croissants?”
