=/\=Counselor Sathut to Captain Knight. I can see that your last evaluation was several months ago, and I would like to get an updated evaluation on you. Please see me in my office this afternoon after your shift.=/\=

Sathut, CNS

Dante flicked off the screen the message came in on and slumped forward in his seat, covering his face with his hands. “She can’t make me do it, I won’t do it, she can’t make me,” Dante said to the figure beside him, looking at Oscar.

In response, the child squealed with a giggle at the sound of his father’s voice and rocked back and forth as he stood holding the edge of the coffee table he had pulled himself up on, trying to reach for the toy dinosaurs that Dante had been playing with him with and placed on the edge as he had checked the message.

“No, you can’t make me go either, neonato,” Dante said, his voice lapsing back into an Italian accent for a moment as he picked up the nearly 1 year old and held him to his chest. “They will never take me alive!” He picked up the toy Pterosaur and flew it around Oscar for a moment, and the young boy squealed and reached for the object his father was playing with. Handing it to him, Dante watched as Oscar brought it to his mouth a moment and then looked at Dante, sticking out his tongue and blowing bubbles at him. “Yes, your right,” Dante sighed. “It’s either that or early retirement to that cottage in the apple orchard I promised your mother with the secret Vodka brewery out the back.” Dante adjusted Oscar and held him up to him again, “How about it neonato? shall you, me and mommy elope and escape?” Oscar squealed and Dante smiled. “Yes, yes, I know. You make a good argument you know, you should be a Starfleet Captain when you grow up.”

Dante put Oscar down on the ground once more and the boy immediately pulled himself to his feet and looked at Bruce in his bed in the corner. He rocked back and forth as he began to hatch a cunning plan in his mind about how to get to the big lizard that thought he was Oscars brother, and more importantly what to do when he got there. Dante, meanwhile, called out to the woman in the bedroom. “Tasia, honey,” he called to his wife, “I have a Counselors appointment this afternoon with the new Counselor, I might be a little late after my shift.”

-------------------- Later that Afternoon-------------------------------

Dante came to a stop outside the door to the Counselors office, he smiled to a few of the people who walked past as he reached for the chime. His new CNS had recently been transferred from another ship that had been decommissioned, so far he had had little to do with him.
