Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Achilleas Petrakos (Chief Science Officer) in Side Sim: Exhausted and Bedraggled
Achilleas found himself in front of the XO’s office. He knew he could talk to the CO about anything but felt that she was under enough stress as it was without his adding to it. So his next best option was to seek out Dira. He hesitated, with thoughts of whether he really should bother her, before he finally sighed heavily and reached out to press the chime.

CSO Petrakos

“Enter,” Myqian’s Vegan-accented voice sounded through the door’s comm.

The office space was clean and orderly, which would surprise people who ever set foot in her quarters. Situated in the corner, there were two chairs in front of the desk. A tall open bookshelf sat across the adjacent corner to her left and held many books, including some old texts on psychology from different worlds, as well as some potted plants under lights that trailed down the sides and small silver frames with photographs of family members. Behind her hung from a wooden dowel was a weaving in pale blues and greens that mimicked waves.

On the other side of her office was a small sitting area with small black sofa and an oversized teal velvet chair. A handwoven blanket in shades of grey was draped over the sofa. Dira was at her desk, her ebony eyes fixed on her screen. “I’ll be with you in just”-she tapped a couple keys-“a… second.” Looking up, Dira took in the CSO and smiled. “Achilleas, come on in and have a seat, she said gesturing to the chairs at her desk. “What can I do for you?”

Commander Myqian, XO
