(snip)

Or a turbolift. This one was currently not in service, as the large ‘Out Of Service’ holo stated.

Navigation Is Not Your Friend

Cara glared at the holo sign. That was not there before. Now it was possible that it had just been put up, but she doubted it. Cara refused to sigh or get frustrated, she just continued in the direction she was going....OH! The section color just changed from orange to yellow. So she was…at the fore of the ship tracking the starboard side. So if kept heading in the same direction, eventually she’d make it aft and cross to port. yeah that was great, if she could just get that information to match with muddled map in her head she’d be fine. There were no view ports so she knew she was on the inner corridor.

She turned down what she thought was a connecting corridor and through an door way and into....sensor pallet access....Okay so she wasn’t anywhere she shouldn’t be, but this was not where she wanted to be. She turned around back tracking the way she had come and somehow moved from yellow back to orange. Now she really wasn’t sure how she had done that because she’d gone back down the same corridor she’d come from and there were no options to turn left or right. She paused and looked around and it suddenly made sense, she was right at the switch over of sections. Seeing the yellow she started that way again and waited till she made it to green before trying another connecting corridor again.

O’Farrell (It’s been two hours already)

Thunder rolled off in the distance… except it was a voice. =/\= Security Chief to Counselor. I have a case I’d like your input on. Could you please be in my office in five minutes, Lieutenant? Thank you. =/\=

Mardusk, CoS

Awww crap… At first Cara thought he had snuck up behind her. The sound of his voice sent a thrill through her. And then frustration because either the Sec JO told on her, or he was watching her and knew she was lost. So much for trying to learn her way around. Before answering Cara resigned herself to it and put a hand to the LCARS panel. “Show me the way ta the nearest turbolift.” The roaving dots began and she followed. Cara’s Irish lilt came back over the com, =^=On my way, Cmdr. More like 15 minutes.=^=

=/\= I figured as much. See you then. =/\= came the reply.

The dots stopped, she hadn’t been far from the lift, and Cara pressed the button to call the lift. Once it arrives she stepped on. She’d only been to the security office once, but she did know what deck it was on. “Deck 14.” And the lift started its 3 deck decent.

O’Farrell, CNS

The doors opened and a Security JO was standing there. He smiled at the Counselor and said “Hello, Lieutenant. Second passage on the right, first door on the left. Have a good day!” and he stepped past her and into the lift and disappeared when the doors closed.

Security

Was she surprised to see one of his officers standing there, seemingly as a coincidence? Nope not at all. She smiled at him, “Thank you, that’s very helpful. Just one thing, lad. Which is my right and which my left?” At the disbelief on his face Cara laughed as the lift doors shut. Directions! She made a mental note of the lift number. From there 2nd right-hand passage, first door on the left. She headed down the corridor, took the second right and went through the first door on the left. She walked over to the officer at the desk. “Lt Cmdr Mardusk asked ta see me.”
