To Counselor Nox.

Permission to move the location of my counselor appointment to Holodeck 1. I find casual tasks for counselor sessions to be easier and far more enjoyable. Please send any allergy information to the holodeck, don’t want to put anyone at risk.

Sincerely, CE Ducote.

The message was a mix of casual and polite as Mathys pressed the send button on his PADD. He turned his attention to the holodeck keypad and typed in one of his favorite programs. In moments, a kitchen began to materialize from thin air.

Mathys walked by the iron hook and took off an apron, putting his device on the counter. He slipped his head through the apron’s collar and wrapped the loose strings about his waist. With a tight jerk, it was securely fastened in place. Instinctively, he glanced about to memorize the kitchen’s layout.

On the far wall was a walk-in refrigerator with hanging meats, cold items, and more. Next to that were baskets on a shelf unit with vegetables and cheeses. Small herbs sat on the marble counters that surrounded the griddle stove and cabinets with canned goods. Satisfied with the display, Mathys pulled up a chair and sat at the counter. He pulled his PADD closer. His fingers flicked through the collection of recipes his father passed down.

CE, Mathys Ducote
