Willow looked up from the file she was reading and absently scratched the side of her neck. Carefully she stacked the file on top of some of their paper work and opened a comm.

=^= Mister Cascarrabias Demalia please report to Captain Taylor’s office.=^= she said and sat back to wait.

Oscar had not seen the Commanding Officer in quite some time. He had, of course, spent some time with Cai, and so Captain Taylor’s brother had shared small tidbits here and there. The boy was bright, although Oscar still was a little uncertain why the boy had taken a shine to him. The trip to Unroth III had not really allowed Oscar to figure it out, between the camera crew and that Human Resources representative hounding him for not actually putting his palm print in the system to transfer his personal information onto the new Ogawa crew roster. Still, he was sure that he hadn’t done anything untoward - well, at least for him.

Then again, the Captain was the young man’s legal guardian, as far as Oscar could tell (he had never actually broached that particular subject with Cai), and so she may have just been wanting to address her concerns, or ask for an update. The worst she could reprimand him for was teaching the kid how to turn some spare parts from a phaser, a PADD, and a transporter into a miniature replicator.

Whatever the reason for the summons, the Captain had timed it uncannily. Oscar had actually been in the middle of doing nothing, quite literally - it was one of his more treasured past times, because he could be quite honest when he told people, “Oh, nothing,” when somebody asked him what he was doing - and therefore technically didn’t need to stop or put aside anything to answer it. About four minutes after receiving the call, Oscar arrived at the office door and pressed the chime.

“Here I am,” Oscar said to the door.

=^= Acknowledged.=^= GALEN’s computerised voice said back and opened the door for Oscar.

Willow looked up at the swish sound and gave a smile. “Oh good. That was quick, please come in. Have a seat.” She indicated a chair in front of her desk and waited for him to get comfortable sitting or standing if he preferred.

“I have…an interesting opportunity presenting itself and wondered if you would be interested.” She said slowly, deliberately choosing her words.
