Fit for duty. And cleared to see the Captain.

That’s all she had needed. Raye headed for the Captain’s office as soon as she left the Counselor’s. It was growing late, already near dinner, and she wanted to see him without interrupting his evening. As she moved thru the halls, she nodded and smiled to those who remembered her and welcomed her back. And she nodded to those she had never seen. It would be refreshing to meet new crewmen and see what had been happening since she left.

The blue on blue top matched the dark blue leggings. Her soft ankle high tan boots barely registering on the deck as she walked. She hadn’t finished setting her quarters to rights yet, preservation coverings still on figurines and such, and she hadn’t made her bed or added the new recipes to the replicator she had brought back. She had slept on the couch after her late arrival the night before and eaten a quick breakfast.

The rest of the day had been spent in the small vacant room next to her own that had been given to her as a small reception area and office. It was meant to be a single guest quarters, but she had changed the living area into a nice gathering place with a couple couches and a long table with chairs to one side for more formal settings and eating. She had written and finished her reports and caught up on mail and other correspondence.

It didn’t escape her notice that she, too, had skipped lunch and wondered if she and the Captain had that in common today. Her hand rose to chime the door as a smile rose to her lips at the thought.

“Enter.” came the familiar, slightly-British accented voice from behind the door. It was slightly more curt than on the past, but where it lacked true warmth it did not lack professionalism. The door slid open and the office, much more organized and comfortable than her previous arrival, was before her. Alex sat behind his desk looking at something and, without looking up, said “What’s the status of the forward sensor array? Engineering have those upgrades complete yet?”

Raye took a moment to look at the Captain. He was just as she remembered and it brought a small smile to her lips. Realizing he didn’t know who she was, she pursed her lips in mock disdain. “Totally shot. I’ve had engineering replicate binoculars, and bring another Betazoid on board. That should help them with sensing things till the array is fixed. And Engineering claims the upgrades won’t work till the children quit playing in the plasma conduits.” She had no clue about the intimate workings of the ship. But she did know enough to tease him about it.

She watched him, while trying not to smile thru her serious face. The grin was tugging up on her lips though.

Cochrane looked up, and his face remained unchanged. A long pause passed before he took a deep breath and said “Ah. Ms. Anders. I see you are back with us. And as I sincerely doubt that your training extends to sensor array components and power relay efficiencies, am I too assume that you have a different purpose for being here? One which I assume comes from the Ambassador’s office? That same Ambassador who took it upon himself to take our personnel without so much as a warning or a ‘thank you’?” Cochrane’s face was rigid, and his tone was on the very edge of sharp.
