En Fayth had been working and researching. Her first stop had been to the arboretum to see what plants were already planted and to get a sense of the current layout. The store room for the arboretum also had plenty of materials to use. Once back at her quarters she requested a list of known allergens for the crew, removing names and identifications. She just needed to know what NOT to put in the garden. With that list in hand she was able to quickly mark off the 1 plant they had on board that would cause a problem. There were others allergens she would have to make sure didn’t come on board, but currently there was only one. It was in the seed stores, Lambs Quarter. She then pulled up several different layouts for the arboretum. She narrowed them down by size and dimension. There were several she liked, but didn’t quite allow her to provide more privacy. She combined a few and finally, with the extra “props” in the arboretum storage, she had what she hoped Lt Marsh would consider a good plan.

Two days later, the evening before her 48 hours of off time were over, Faythh was back at the CSO’s office. She wasn’t sure he was on duty, just about off, or off. She’d leave the PaDD with the diagram for him if he wasn’t here. She rang the chime and waited.

Marsh had adjusted his door to respond to any internal electronic source, with a flick of his finger the door opened and his voice could be heard without him bellowing. “Come in.” He couldn’t quite see her until she had entered. Marsh always looked busy when he was behind his desk, much to the contrary of his appearance when either on duty or off duty.

“Ahh, Ensign what you got for me.”

Marsh

“Hello Lt. Marsh.” Sharah approached his desk and handed him the PaDD. “Plans for the arboretum for your approval or rejection.” The PaDD included the identification of the known on ship allergies and then the layout for the Arboretum with all plants listed. Tapping on each area will show the plants in detail as well as the landscaping. Sharah has managed to double the number of secluded spots with the new layout as well as allow plenty of room for the plants to grow without being over crowded. With just her working she gives the plans a month to be implemented.

Marsh took the PaDD scrolling through the images, zooming in here, out there all with a concentration that was contrary to his reputation. He went to the plants that were being placed and the allergy list. “Do we have the anti=inflammatories that we need if someone is unknowingly allergic to something we put into the ground?”

Sharah had a second PaDD with all the information on it as well. She pulled up the medication lists on hand for medical and double checked the allergy list. “Yes, Sir. They are all on hand.”

He continued scrolling, while waiting for the answer. “Doubled the hidden nooks… huh…”

“Didn’t keep one off the map for VIPs?” He questioned. He tried to decipher if there was one not listed on the screen.” He gave her a sidelong glance. It what he would have done.

Sharah held back a grin, “Two actually.” She’d had Joseph in mind when she designed them. She missed him and had thought he would enjoy the idea of being in plane sight and no one noticing. She typed into her own PaDD and they showed up on Marsh’s. “They are not as sneaky as I would like. It’s possible someone might stumble on them, but they would have to be Very lucky.” This design had really pushed Sharah’s skills for design and botany. She was very proud of it and if Marsh approved she was going to show Oliver her work.

“MMmmmHmmm,” Marsh pursed his lips. “Keeping secret for yourself and your buddies?” He then looked down… “Oh, the keys to the castle, little old me gets the secret make out points.”

“Well Ensign you can’t make magic happen in a rectangle. You can only do so much so I wouldn’t be so hard on yourself.” He looked down again examining things closely. “Isn’t the risk of stumbling upon half the fun. Why would you take your partner to a public site to perform romantic acts if the thought of being caught wasn’t somewhere in your mind.”

“Its good Ensign, I’ll run it by the Captain but I can approve it on my own authority.”

Marsh

Sharah would never be caught in one of those nooks, unless she was tending the plants. She smiled slightly. She was eager to get started, but if she had to wait for the Captain’s okay she would. This was a side project she was really eager to see finished. “I’ve given the new design a month, to get ready, if I have to work alone. And we have all the materials and plants already on hand. I can start whenever you’d like, Sir.”
