The diplomatic wing of the station was on the opposite end of the station as the Ambassador Hotel. Revna thought that was very strange, since many of the guests the Ambassador hosted were given rooms at the hotel. But what did she know about star base design? Not a lot. She’d gotten in touch with Krissy, and the very eager intern was currently making sure their stuff was transferred quickly and quietly from the hotel to their quarters in the diplomatic wing. She’d slipped on a calf length skirt and off the shoulder peasant blouse. And with a wink at Mike, high heel strappy sandals because she needed to learn to move faster in them.

She tucked her hand into Mike’s elbow as they walked, even with the heels, she was still shorter than him, and she liked it. They had to walk the entire station to get there, and though she was eager to get there with him, she was enjoying the walk as well.

Revna ‘Move in with me?’ McKenzie

The walk was a slow and languid one, with small talk and idle chatter… and Mike loved it. They caught glances and whispers every now and then, but no one approached them. As they reached the diplomat’s area, a Star Fleet Security officer stood at the turbolifts. “ID, please?” he asked politely. Mike pulled his Federation ID out and handed it Revna to hand to the guard. “Is that a necessity, or for show?” he asked softly to Revna with a small nod towards the guy.

Mike ‘I’m Packing Now’ McKenzie

Revna took out her ID and, along with Mike’s, passed them to the guard. Revan glanced at Mike and shrugged, answering just as softly, “I have no idea.” The guard looked at both IDs and glanced back at them. Then he half turned, “Hey, Frallugh, hand me that package for McKenzie.” He held out his hand to the other man and took a large stuffed envelope from him and handed it to Revna along with their IDs. “New IDs are in there, along with some other items.” He stepped to the side and gave Mike ‘the nod.’ “Mostly necessity, but we do put on a good show if need be, Mr McKenzie. Congratulations to you both. Turbolift is to starboard, deck 3, all the way at the end. Family quarters, Ma’am.”

Revna looked surprised, she hadn’t expected that. The information Krissy had given her included a letter stating that there had been a change, but she hadn’t thought too much about it. Krissy had said the Ambassador had insisted. She took makes hand again and passed by the security desk, taking a right and heading for the lift. It stopped on deck 3, and they walked all the way to the end. The deck, here, seemed pretty empty and the room spaced out more than she expected. 3211, all the way at the end. Revna palmed the lock and the door opened to a space much larger than she was expected for herself. But it had plenty of room for the idea she had.
Revna ‘family?????’ McKenzie
