It was an old trick from her early days on the old Athena: hide out in a meeting room and pretend no one could find you. Because if you stepped onto the bridge or into your ready room it was tantamount to being asked to be distrubed. Someone, somehwere, would need her attention and right now she had things she needed to do.

Like write a report on everything that had happened in the Mirror Universe. As if a report could encompass such a complex set of events.

With a sigh, Ghubari continued to work, feeling like nothing would come close to encapsulating her and her crew’s experiences.

Again.

The door to the room opened, foot steps and a dull thump announced someones entrance then the door slid shut again leaving in it’s wake a tall, older man, bearded with grey hair that still held a few strands if its natural dark brown. Dressed in a star fleet uniform with teal department markings and captains pips, he leaned on a metal black cane and surveyed the report writing woman before him.

She glanced up and at the unexpected figure she simply raised her ridged brows.

”You know, ” he began after a moment, ”Youre not really hiding if the computer can track you right?”

“Illusions are useful. Sometimes out of sight really is out of mind,” she said simply, folding her arms on the table. It was rare for someone close in rank to her to be on board let alone be here to see her and while she had no idea who this was in the least, she was intensely curious.

The man raised both eyebrows, furrowing the deep wrinkles on his head even more. ”Youre the commanding officer, you’re never really out of mind. Out of sight maybe but that’ll just out you in mind even more.

She spread her hands out to the side and shrugged. “If it allows me a few minutes to get some work done uninterrupted, it works for me. Now, I don’t remember asking for a doctor. What can I do for you?” Ghubari said with amusement.

He limped into the room further, towards her. ”The ship I’m stationed on just wrapped up a mission, I had some leave time accumulated.” he said by way of explanation. ”So I headed back to the nearest starbase. I was surprised to see you guys docked let alone the trash can that used to be the Ogawa.” he eyed her now, blue eyes taking in her position and interest in him. A smirk crossed his features.

“Well, we were here before and… now we’re back. Funny that. Then again it is fleet headquarters so not so unusual for fleet ships to, you know, dock here,” Koraia said casually, having finally remembered who this man was.

”So, the point is I had time. Now…” he sat down in the chair beside her, hooking the came on the table. ”…why don’t you tell me, exactly how you managed to regrow a limb. And I mean in gorey, excruciating detail.”

Mystery man

Folding her arms on the table, she leaned forward and grinned slightly. “Oh, it’s driving you crazy, isn’t it? All that postulating and trying to figure out exactly how something like that would work. And you just can’t quite get there. Maybe partially, but then inevitably you get stuck. But you know Doctor Ryley, it is classified information. Curious how you found out about it in the first place…”

Rykey smirked, apparently delighted she had recognised him. ”Uhh yeah. Why the hell do you think I’ve bothered to come at all.” he waved his hand ”Classified is stuck a strong word, mildly unattainable in some circles is a better turn of phrase and since the file itself is such but you yourself are not…” be waved his hand in a circle as if to say so on. ”Now, details.”
