Posted by Civilian Jewel Stone (Police Detective) in Checking in with the Commissioner
Jewel stood outside the commissioners office smoothing her pants, her badge was clipped to her belt her long black cloak shifted as she entered the reception area. Her mind and heart were still spinning from her encounter the roof, she was tired but high on the rush of it all. She had never connected with someone like that before. She had met Karlson a few times, she was not sure he would remember her, but face time was face time. She was not entirely sure what he wanted, special assignment maybe.

She strutted up to the receptionist no sway in her step. She looked down a force non smile on her face. “Inspector Stone, here to see Commissioner Karlson as requested.”

The receptionist send Stone on her way down the hall where a Secretary met with her and opened the large wooden doors to the Commissioner, exchanging some words before he turned back to the Detective “Please go in” He said with a pleasent smile before returning to his desk.

“Thank you.” she said politely, she was far more reserved when she was on duty. She looked around at the room as the doors opened surveying the environment trying to get a feel for the man that occupied it.

The office was spacious, one side had several bookcases with several actual paper books, and each case had a display shelf with several holopics of the Commissioner with various known people, the last four Governors, Cabinets, and Starfleet Security Chiefs as well as Several Federation Presidents. A more recent addition was a picture taken from a public dinner with the Klingon ambassador from the house of Durok. There were physical copies of books, mostly on criminology, the Justice System, and a printed collection of Oed Laws and public ordinances.

She new the man was connected he had been her a long time, the books are what caught her a little of guard though nothing about here look as she walked in would suggest that it had. She look around casually at the room as she moved forward toward the commissioner.

There was a larger slightly raised area with sofas, chairs, and tables for more informal conversations. On the lounge side there was a door marked for a bathroom, on the bookcase side there was another door with a keypad next to it with no markings. On the opposite end to the door was the Commissioner’s Desk with two guest chairs, the large wooden desk was decorated with several photo frames facing the Commissioner’s side, a computer console that seemed to retract into the desk on command, and central on the desk a small orb to project holographic images.

Standing in the lounge area was the ever-imposing figure of Oed’s Police Commissioner. Today, he was wearing a three-piece charcoal grey suit, bespoke and fairly modern compared to his usual outfits. Collarless shirt in the Andorian style and no tie. Today’s cane was a common sight, light wood with a simple handle made of some sort of rubber. He smiled and removed the spectacles from his face and walked across the room, and put out a large hand “Detective Inspector, welcome” he said brightly “Come have a seat”

Joseph moved to the lounge and lowered himself into a cushioned chair. The man had been a very public figure on Oed for the last fifteen years, both as head of the Police and one time Governor, his attitude fit that of the affable grandfatherly man he was in interviews and in person it was always more clear that he looked nowhere near his almost eighty years. “Anything to drink, eat?” He offered, indicating the various drinks on the table, tea, coffee, juice, water, pastries, and fruits.

Jewel had him all figured out the second she stepped into the room, she had heard he was nice but, the nature of the rooms suggested something different a quiet reserved man, and then he opened his mouth and the grandfather like voice greeted her as if she was an old friend. Her eyes widened slightly, perhaps it was the lack of sleep. “Commissioner,” she said smiling a little. “Coffee please” she noted as she sat down.
