Ana’s assistant Arin had sent out messages to every Cabinet member. Dr Aiofemi Oshiro’s office received a message that read The Governor’s Chief of Staff requests a meeting with you as soon as possible. She wishes to discuss your current work. Arin had added the last part but no one needed to know that it wasn’t from Ana herself.

-Chief of Staff

When the message came through, Ai was a Sacred Heart Hospital and tensed up for a moment. Discuss current work? What did that mean. After her thoughts had process she responded. =^=Thank you for the message. Please let the Chief of Staff know that I have some free time right now and I am on my way.=^=

Aiofemi placed her PaDD in her Gorn leather tote and told Samikah, “I have a meeting with the Chief of Staff and will probably be out for the rest of the day. Can you set up the accounts for Lai and Akem? If she calls with any questions, you may give her my communicator information.”

Samikah, nodded as she tapped on her PaDD. “I will get it all arranged and let them know their accounts are active.”

About 30 minutes later Aiofemi arrived at the Government building and took the lift up to Ana’s office, When she arrived at her door, she rang the chime and waited for the invitation to enter.

Arin let her in and directed her back to the darkly decorated office. Ana was sitting behind her desk, looking over some files. She looked up and passed a piercing gaze over Ai, before softening. “Dr Oshiro. Please come in, sit down. I’m Chief of Staff Ana Caputo.” The way she said her name, there was a mild implication that she was speaking her native Italian, and relying on universal translators to do the rest.

Ai nodded as she returned the greeting, “Miss Caputo. Welcome to Oed,” she said with a smile.
The woman looked human as far as she could tell and she based on her speech, Federation Standard was not her native language. Ai took the nearest seat. After she sat down she asked, “How are you liking the colony so far?”
While waiting for a reply, she took the opportunity to quickly gaze around and take in the decor of the room.

What Ai saw was largely the furnishings that Ana’s predecessor had left behind. It was heavy wooden furniture and dark colors that all made the room seem smaller than it was. Ana answered “The Governor has indicated that if my performance is not adequate, a citizen will bring me and my career to a swift end. It seems like a lovely place, but not the warmest of welcomes. I hope my assistant communicated to you the nature and reason for this meeting on such short notice.”

Ai’s eyes widened. She had had her own brush with the Governor. He had accused her of spreading rumors when she was just trying to relay a piece of information to him. “Yes well, the Governor has quite an direct....uh mordant way about him.” She said, And to think I had a crush on him when I started here. “He has been very straightforward with me as well. I think you are going to be just fine. I like to think of it this way, although his tone is often acerbic he knows what he is doing. He would not have brought you aboard if he didn’t think you possessed the necessary skills to get the job done. I personally like to deal with the Lt. Governor directly. She listens and then responds accordingly. It’s not her nature to assume.”
Ai sighed, she just gave the chief of staff a whole backstory of her experience when she first started her job on Oed. It was mostly out of nervousness. “No, It was not clear from the communication your assistant provided why you asked me to come here.”
