Posted by Lieutenant Commander Zef Rollo (Counselor) in Ready Room - Reporting In
It didn’t take long to reach the bridge and no one questioned her on the way. Zef was used to what she looked like, but at the beginning of every posting, she tended to turn heads with her unusual coloring. Dressed in the black and teal of science, she stood outside the Ready Room and smoothed, steady hands down the front of her uniform. After a deep, cleansing breath, Zef raised her hand and palmed the chime—alerting the officer inside that he had a visitor.

—Rollo, CNS

The door silently slid open to reveal the office beyond. The office was organized, but had the feel of both authority… and peace. Two bookcases on one wall stood with shelves lined with actual books behind their glass doors. Pictures had been mounted around the room showing both places and people, many of them featuring the same person. Various odds and ends graced places here and there. Displayed prominently, however, alone on a shelf high up on the wall directly behind the desk that sat opposite the door, was the lone figure of a gold Ox. Lighting had been directed so that it drew the eye of anyone who came through the door almost immediately.

Seated behind the desk was a human male in the red uniform of Command officers. He looked up as the doors opened. His hair was black, making the bright blue eyes beneath the well-groomed hair even more intense. He had a youthful appearance, somewhat more so than the Captain’s pips at his collar would seem to indicate. He smiled warmly as the new ship’s Counselor entered and stood up. He was tall, but not overly so; and had a lithe, athletic build.

“Ah, Lieutenant Commander Rollo. So nice to meet you.” and he extended his hand towards her. His voice was pleasant, with a very slight British accent. “Captain Alexander Cochrane. I trust your trip to the station was uneventful?”
