Appointment
Posted on Sat Jul 18th, 2015 @ 7:42pm by Samanthia Akiashiro & Colonel S'er'in'e
Mission:
By Dawn's Early Light
Location: Warp 12
S'er'ine'e enjoyed the evenings entertainment watching the storm wash across the planets surface. Samanthia was pleasant company even if his wish to introduce her to a new drink resulting in a slight pang to her dignity in front of him. To make amends for that, in his hand was a book that was a novel regarding a family that was split up during a voyage to new lands, kept apart by scores of pitfalls but to be reunited as the father finds his family having braved a vicious storm alive and well in a town he heard they were in. Seeing as Samanthia liked storms, he wondered if it would make a suitable apology for the drinks effects on her.
It seemed that the bouncers present knew of him and let him pass, he thanked them and proceeded to the Bar in the hopes of soon meeting Samanthia as arranged.
Samanthia; dressed more respectable in simple white blouse, knee length skirt, and sensible shoes; breezed into the Lounge on the Promenade much more at ease with few other business people, sharing a light moment of conversation. She broke off from the group as she made her way towards the end of the bar that led into the backrooms of the lounge. Pausing at the bar, she met up with the shift overseer to look over some ledgers.
With a few flipping of pages and a nod, She closed the ledger with a soft thump. She handed back the ledgers with a smile. "Looks good." With one of her warm smiles and looked over the room, semi-full of patrons. A few musicians were playing softly on stage to add atmosphere to those present.
Still smiling warmly, Samanthia waved to a few patrons, both Fleeters and Civilians about the room. She moved behind the bar and assisted in filling orders along with the bartender.
S'er'in'e waited until things appeared to resemble something of a calm. "Excuse me." He spoke to one of the staff behind the table. "I have an appointment with Samanthia, she asked that I be here to meet her." He didn't mind waiting, it gave him the chance to look around as he did so.
The Staff Member looked at S'er'in'e, "The woman behind the bar" Pointing in the direction of the bar where Samanthia was mixing drinks and serving those at the bar. Joking and talking with them. Her warm laughter mingled with the patrons there. She was looking relaxed and enjoying the fast pace in serving drink to those at the bar along with the on-duty bartender and prepping drinks to be taken to various table by the waitresses and waiters.
The décor was different than the last time S'er'in'e was in the place. It looked more like an open air courtyard of some fancy chateau. Tables spread out amongst manicured hedges that surrounded tables to provide privacy, yet view of the stage. The viewport out into space looked like a big flat screen television. Tables and chairs were of delicate sculpted blue veined marble. There was a few random clouds in the sky. There was even pigeons that walked about amidst the patrons and staff, scurry away when patrons or staff came near them. Ceiling was open air that gave a view of the green tinged blue sky with dark bluish purple clouds that lazy floated across the sky, changing shape at random. Shadows were true to be outdoors. Even the patrons and staff had shadows that were in proper perspective to the time of day.
Following the directions given he managed to locate Samanthia who was in the midst of mixing a drink. He smiled remembering the drink he had her sample the night prior. "Miss Akiashiro." S'er'in'e spoke, his feline tone of voice making it very clear who it was to her ears.
Smanthia glanced his way, giving him a smile. She reached into a pocket on her skirt and pulled out a PADD and slid it his way, without missing the serving tray as she loaded it up with drinks for the patrons at the table. Giving a nod to the waiting waitress that it was okay to take the full tray of drinks away. "The required info is on the PADD, S'er'in'e, and application. Once filled out. Drop it off on Deck 1403 at the Security Checkpoint. Take the central Turbolifts. The other turbolifts don't have access to the stem of the station." Giving him a quick smile as she turned her attention a demanding customer.
"Thank you." Samanthia seemed busy and decided lest he distract her further to depart and begin filling in the application. The application itself was not overly complex, at least to him anyway and when he was finished he followed her instructions, taking the desired turbolift as indicated to its destination.
Deck 1403 : Akiashiro Deck
Deck 1403
The Central portion of the deck held the 4 turbolifts that traversed vertically the central stem of the starbase. Surrounding the the turbolift was a waiting area for visitors with seats and a replicator with a limited menu. At each of the Four main doors that lead off the from the central area was a manned security checkpoint. Next to the doors was a placard that was easily read. Akiashiro Business Offices. Akiashiro Apartments. Barracks and Domesticated Help. Hanger/Warehouses.
The Security Guards that had the view of the big Caitain stepping off the Turbolift, came alert and watched him carefully to see what he would do next.
Seeing the guards alert knowing that he was an unknown element and considering what he was they were right to be wary. He held up the PADD he was given. "I have been asked by Samanthia to bring this here." He offered it forward to the guard for his own inspection.
One of the Security Guard came within reach of S'er'in'e and took the offered PADD. Stepping back out of reach of S'er'ine, never once blocking his partners line of fire. He scanned it quickly and then looked at S'er'in'e. "Personnel will call you for an appointment and interview, Mr. S'er'in'e." He turned and dropped the PADD into a slot behind him. A faint sound of a burst of pressured air being released.
S'er'in'e nodded, his task complete he headed back to the Turbolift to where he came. All he could do now was wait.
