"Showing the Captain Around" written by: Cmdr Skyler & Captain valQiS Kat Skyler was glad to see that Captain valQIS had survived the havoc that had occurred on her ship the Allegiance. She kept remembering the time she served under the Captain when she was in Skyler's position on the original Avalon. Back then valQIS intimidated Skyler, not to mention scared her just a little. But that was then and this is now. "Captain, if you will follow me, I will be happy to show you to our guest quarters on Deck 2. You will be close to the bridge and have easy access to the Captain as well. It is a pleasure to see you again Captain." Skyler wasn't sure at all how the valQIS would react toward her. They had had their confrontations in the past but she hoped that the Captain had put them behind her as she had. "It is good to see you again as well Commander. I see that you have been keeping Keith in line. I am sure that it is not an easy job. I know when I was in your position, he was not always the easiest person to keep in line." "I cannot disagree with you Captain. He hasn't changed much since those times. If anything he is a tad bit more daring. I will have to admit though that he does at least listen, if nothing else. He may not follow my suggestions, but he at least stops and listens before he goes off on his own." Skyler just smiled, not knowing what Captain valQIS was going to say. Skyler remembered how stubborn she could be, and how assertive she could be when she had to be. valQIS laughed heartily like the Klingon that she was. "Well, Cmdr. I see that nothing has changed. He is still stubborn and bound to do things his way nor now way at all. At least you are keeping him under control and that is the only thing you can do." The two continued to reminisce and before long they had arrived at the guest quarters that would be the Captain's new home for her duration aboard the Avalon. "Here we are Captain. There are a few things I should tell you about your room. It is something that is being tested on the Avalon and if it works it will be made available to all ships in the fleet. Have a seat and I will explain." valQIS was interested, though it was hard to tell as she kept her emotions in check. Skyler couldn't remember if this had to do with her being part Elasian or part Klingon. That was always the one thing Skyler could never figure out about her. Skyler guessed that there were other things she would never figure out about the Captain. "Now, Captain your room can be programmed to any environment that you would like. You can program it to be like your home on Elaysia or on Qo'nos. Or you can program it to any type of environment that you would like. The only thing you can't change in the room is the bathroom and the closet. Those, unfortunately have to stay as they are. Anything else in the room is open for change. You can have the replicator programmed to dish out any type of food you would like. I can have an engineer come and reprogram it for you if you would like?" "This sounds very interesting Commander. I think I will spend some time getting used to the room. As for the engineer, you can have one come up in about 3-5 hours. I am going to take some time and rest and try and write some much needed but unwanted letters. So if you could see that I am not disturbed I would be very grateful." "I will take care of it Captain. I will send the engineer up in 5 hours and will make sure that you are not disturbed. I don't envy you having to write those letters. If you need anything please let me know. " "Thank you Commander, I will keep that in mind. Again Thank You for everything." Skyler left the Captain in her quarters with the dismal task ahead of her. After making sure everything was taken care of, Skyler returned to the bridge and to her seat and checked in with Keith.
