"Stranger in the House"
Cmdr Skyler
 
    Skyler returned to the ship after her visit with  Moreya. As usual Moreya 
had a great insight into Skyler and what was going on.  They had had a 
pleasant visit and talking to her seem in some way to help Skyler  understand 
at 
least some of what was going on. She was still going to have to  talk to 
Georgia 
to fully understand the situation. As for Melanie, well, she  would deal with 
her in time. She didn't understand why she didn't remember  Melanie or that 
her parents had even had another child. Yet she remembered Lyryn  Cate. 
 
    She remembered everything that had happened on the  Tempest. She 
remembered how she spent time talking to Lyryn trying to convince  her that 
destroying 
the Avalon was not a good idea. If she could remember that  after two failed 
brain wipes, why couldn't she remember a sister. She was still  torn about 
seeing Dr. Cazook. That woman was just a little too strange for her  taste.
 
    Upon arriving back on board the Avalon, Skyler  stowed her gear in her 
quarter's and checked the computer for any messages.  There were a few. Mainly 
from Georgia and one from Mia, who was apparently her  new yeoman. This was 
strange in that she had never had a personal yeoman before.  However at that 
moment it was the farthest thing from her mind. She would look  into that 
situation later, first she wanted to go to her office to see if in  fact it had 
been 
released to her. It was bad enough when Flubb took it over but  now that he was 
dead he still had control of it, regardless of what she had  tried.
 
    She entered the bridge and found it empty. She  really didn't expect to 
find anyone seeing as how everyone was on shoreleave. It  actually suited 
Skyler just fine. She preferred to sit in her office and just  listen to the 
sounds 
of the ship or change the decor depending on her mood. She  had to admit that 
being able to change her office into anything she wanted was  an added perk 
to the Avalon.
 
    The first thing she noticed was that the crime  scene tape was gone. Her 
office was finally hers again. Now all she had to do  was clean up the mess 
left by the different investigating teams. When she walked  in she fully 
expected to smell stale uncirculated air, see chalk marks or other  forensic 
signs. 
To her surprise none of that was present. It was as if someone  had come in, 
during her abscence and totally cleaned her office. It was nice but  a litte 
un-nerving at the same time. Who would go to such lengths for her? This  was 
another mystery and she had had her fill of mysteries lately.
 
    She went over to her desk and noticed that  everything was nice and tidy. 
PADD's were in their place as were holo's that she  had. Her commendations 
had been arranged on the wall, almost as if someone was  trying to impress her. 
But who? There weren't many people who had acess to her  office and those that 
did, were not likely to be cleaning and rearranging. For  the time being she 
chose not to think about it. Instead she walked over to the  replicator and 
made herself a drink and took it over to her couch.
 
    She was going to use this quiet time to contemplate  the past mission, 
and other facts that had come to light. Hopefully no one would  bother her.
