Karina had finished her meeting with the Governor. There was apparently a small apartment in the education building, and she would make use of it, just not to live in. Such living arrangements made her far too isolated, and isolation was counter productive. Karina had instead chosen to spend some of her credits on an apartment at one of the more moderate residential buildings. She could easily have taken a house or something more but again that was counter productive. This building was larger housed officials, civilians, guests, and Fleet. A mix of just about everyone.

Karina stepped off the lift on the 8th floor, turned left moved down the hallway and then 2nd right and first door on the left. She traversed the building like she’d lived there for years. And of course an instant familiarity with a building or location was essential in her line of work. She unlocked the door and stepped in, “Lights” and the space as illuminated. Oh this was lovely. Far too much space, after years as an officer, but lovely. Her crates had already been delivered and she stepped around the to the window and looked out across the dome of the colony.

Karina got busy unpacking and settling in. She had barely gotten started on Memorial when she was reassigned, so she was still mostly packed. She had even been using the replicator for uniforms. She really needed to get, at least, her clothes. Her clothes went into the closet because she didn’t like looking rumpled. Buuuttt....everything else, well it had a place, but Karina was a ‘pile person.’ So things had a place and they were clean, but not tidy. She looked at the ‘welcome’ packet left on the kitchen counter. HA! There was a pool, on the roof. Jodar and his daughter would enjoy that. It would be a very good way to meet the citizens of Oed and get to know them. Although the societal differences between other races were a study in patience at times, she enjoyed learning about others, and silently hoped there would be no reason for them to be other than neighbors. Of course she knew that was unrealistic because of her assignment, but first apartment and then a swim and then tomorrow, first thing, she’d go see about the school. Having finished unpacking as much as she felt like, Karina donned a coppered brown one piece and a peach colored floral mesh long kimono coverup, took the lift up to the roof, and the pool.
