Posted by Civilian Joseph Karlson (Head of Police Force) in Government Tower - Governors Office
Joseph’s first place to visit was the Governor’s office, he’d called ahead just before dropping out of warp so they were expecting him. He pulled his Maroon Tie up and walked to the Governor’s secretary, he didn’t walk with limp but seemed to use his cane for support. The gargantuan man smiled at the Secretary “I believe Governor Halloway is expecting me” After a short look at him the Secretary smiled, made some pleasantries and pointed the man to the door. Again he gave the young Secretary a pleasant smile before letting himself in. “Governor Halloway” Although the former Marine was in his mid-Sixties he looked barely over forty and had retained his muscle mass from his youth. He looked around the office, seeing what changes had been made “Joseph Karlson, reporting for duty.”

Joseph Karlson

The room was situated in a simplistic style. Photos of his wife Ylana, and their daughter Nikola. Models of the ships he served on– the Challenger, Cairo, Nautilus, Archimedes, and Dresden–were placed in one area of the room as well. He had clearly spent a lot of time in the Pioneer Fleet. Now, times had changed, and Black Fleet was where he was needed most.

Halloway had heard the man speaking with his secretary. His abnormal hearing gave him some very unique advantages. He wasn’t surprised to hear the man enter his office. His chair was facing out the window taking in a scene of new people milling about at the feet of the government tower. “Government Tower”…Michael shook his head. Perhaps his first order of business would be to rename the tower?

For now, other business needed attending to. He turned his chair to face the newcomer as he stood up to greet him. Halloway bore two remnants of his time in the borg collective. The most obvious being his eye piece that ran the circumference of his right eye. The other not so obvious implant that looked like a small spider web was hidden behind his opposite ear.

To state one was reporting for duty was typically a military tradition. Either Starfleet or marines he suspected based on the man’s appearance. Interesting.

“Mr. Karlson, its a pleasure to meet you,” he said gesturing to a seat in front of him. “Would you like anything to drink while you’re here?” He moved to the replicator to get an iced tea for himself.
