Dr. Zarath told Sharah he was fine with her continuing her research, but she would have to talk to the science department. Once she had some free time she quirred the computer and discovered the CSO Lt. Marsh was in his office. Sharah took a deep breath. If the CSO said no, she was going to have Mara and Ashlyn help her build a mini green house in their quarters so she could grow her own plants. This wasn’t a deal breaker for her research. She’d find another way, but hopefully this way would allow her to make connections in other departments and allow her working access in the arboretum. Sharah pressed the chime and waiting.

“Come,” Marsh yelled sound didn’t transmit well through office walls, but he must have bellowed. One of these days he would just have to use the audio door activation system and save his throat.

Marsh stared at her for a moment as she entered. “Ensign, Fayth, by what wind brought your ship to my shore?” Marsh smiled pleased with himself for recalling the name of one of the flood of Ensigns who appeared on the Europa from the Academy ships.

Fayth stepped into the room and smiled, feeling rather complimented that he knew who she was…or…oh…did he know about her condition? Her smile faltered a little but then remained in place. “I was told, Lt Marsh, you were the person to talk to about use of the Arboretum. I have some research I would like to continue that involves medicinal plants. I have a minor in botany, as well, so I’d be more than happy to take on extra shifts to care for the other plants.” Fayth figured it was best to get straight to the point before she got too nervous to ask.

“Arboretum?” He questioned. Fayth would recognize that he would make an excellent poker player. He was very excited to have someone take the responsibility of the Arboretum off his hands. It wasn’t that he disliked planets, there were a million other things he had to do and the Arboretum never loved him back like any of the other systems he was in charge of.

“Do you know how many ensigns offered to take over the arboretum when the first come on board, two months later its too much work, or takes too much time.” He picked up a PaDD and pulled up her record. “There’s more to it than setting the watering and fertilizer schedule… its a massive undertaking… what’s your plan, what plants are you going to grow… how are you going to check all the allergies of the crew.”

Her record would show she’s a doctor by major but also minored in Botany. That during her cadet tour she restored the arboretum on her ship. It had been neglected and in complete disrepair when she had arrived and it was now thriving. She also had very good scores in all her botany classes with positive reviews on all her work in those classes. Sharah smiled, “Well since I’m a doctor it will be easy to pull up the general allergies of the crew to ensure their safety. I wasn’t aware that there was no plan in place currently. So I would say that first I would want to create different eco-zones in order to represent as many home planets as possible. That may require moving plants around, but I have skill with that. I would specifically create walking paths and picnic areas for the crew to enjoy. As well as beds specifically for science and medical personnel to grow any plants they need for their work.” Sharah pauses thinking, “Are there families on board, Sir? If so I could also put in a children’s garden as well.” She thinks for a moment, “I would really need to see the current layout of the arboretum and the seeds stores to give you a more accurate plan.” Sharah was so excited she had to work really hard not to start rapid fire talking about it. Other ensigns might have given up but this…this would help her in more than one way, and she was willing to make it work, no matter what.
