Karina settled Rondara in her class, a gentle squeeze on her shoulder letting her know she’d be back later, made sure the stand in teacher knew what the lesson as for the day and then she left the school building heading across the street to the governmental offices. She walked in, 10 minutes early, and up to the secretary. “Karina Enger, educational director. I have an appointment with the Governor today at 0915 along with a Mr Holloway.” Karina carried a medium sized shoulder bag that held three PaDDs with the information she’d collected over the last week since she’d taken over. Governor Hyrushi wanted results and had big plans. It was time to get started.

The receptionist nodded and said “The Governor will be right with you. We are still expecting Mr. Holloway.” and she gestured to a seating area.

Reception

Karina nodded, “Thank you.” She sat and reached into her bag and pulled out a thermos of cold water. Something about Oed made her parched and she’d taken to carrying water with her. It was probably a matter of adjusting to the dome environment.

The doors to the Governor’s office opened and B’tren-Hyrushi walked out. Dressed in a dark blue suit with a deep burgundy shirt under the jacket, he smiled at Enger. “Miss Enger. A pleasure to see you. Please, come in. Meridith, please send Mr. Holloway in when he arrives. Thank you.” and he stepped to the side to allow the Education Director to step inside his office.

Karina stood and smiled with a nod of thanks to Meridith. She stepped inside as Hyrushi waved her through. She moved toward a seat, but didn’t sit. Instead she turned to him, excited to get started and to show him the rough plans she’d put together so far. “Governor Hyrushi, it’s a pleasure to see you so soon. Much has happened in the few days since we’ve talked.”

“Do tell. And please… sit. We have some time until the illustrious Mr. Holloway deigns to grace us with his presence.” Hyrushi’s words were coldly diplomatic. “So what has happened? I hope this is good news.”

Karina walked over and sat down on one of the plush chairs. “Good news over all I believe. Though with some caution.” Karina didn’t even pause in voicing her concern. It was a valid concern and one she felt needed immediate addressing before continuing. “I met Mr. Holloway. Personable enough, his assistant seems very long-suffering. I am concerned however, about using him and his considerable resources to help fund, build, promote, support the new school. The man has been the target of an assassination attempt. He was loathe to discuss the circumstances with me. That is, of course, his choice. But such individuals would not think twice of coming to a colony world such as Oed to make another attempt, especially after making such a public attempt on Earth. Children are an easy target and one that strikes fear into people and makes them easy to…manipulate. I for one am not willing to put other families’ children at risk simply because his name and company are associated with our school.”

“The entire school board has been fired. I am in no rush to replace them, but I will. I found them to be manipulative and…what is the word…plotting, I believe. Using the school to map their own agendas rather than looking out for the well being and education of the young. And the education of the students has suffered for that. Also I have been made an offer by DaiMon Hoka. He has offered to purchase all of our supply needs and even assist with the funding of building the new school. As well as offering to meet all contributions to the staff’s retirement and 401k funds. With nothing in exchange. Very strange for a Ferengi. He has also agreed to participate in the new apprenticeship program we will be implementing. I have several meetings set up with other community leaders this week.”
