Sharah had never ever done this. Not even in her position as CSO on the Ark Angel. Even when they had openings in the labs she couldn’t fill them because Q had thrown them almost past the edge of the known universe. Sharah had been pouring over personnel files trying to find someone who would be a good fit for the assistant position.

She had narrowed it down to…too many. She had to pick one. She felt unprepared for this. No matter what McBride and Dasca said. She was looking again at a file that looked like a good fit. It didn’t tell her a lot though. Skill wise yes, but Oed wasn’t an easy posting and the number of officers under their care was HUGE, then add the civilian population to that. Then she saw something in the file. Of course! Mika was here. Who better to ask for help than her very first department head? Sharah transferred the files to a PaDD and made her way down to the psychiatry wing. The light was off above Mika’s door and she didn’t feel Mika’s presence. Oh.. she was on the Fleet complex. Alright, she could head over there. Today was devoted to paperwork anyway, and the walk would be a needed break.

Half an hour later, Sharah had made her way onto the complex and to Mika’s office. She pressed the chime.

Mika was stressed. Really stressed. And busy. There were too many things to do and what felt like not enough time to do them. She had to keep reminding herself there weren’t really hard time limits to get these caseload reviews and departmental things done.

When the chime rang, she called a quick, “Come in.” She had a PaDD in front of her and her chair was pushed out of the way like she’d been pacing. She looked up and smiled a tired, tense smile at Sharah. “Hey, Fayth. Did you need something?”

Sharah paused right after she entered the office. Oh Mika was having a rough go of it. Sharah felt the same way, she still did, and she didn’t have the experience that Mika did. “Oh, well, I was honestly going to ask for your help, but it looks like you might need it instead. Overwhelmed by the paperwork?”
