Lara was in her office aboard the USS Nike managing her inbox.
Her staff managed the items they could and made recommendations on the ones they couldn't for her to review and sign off. But even with all the help there seemed to be a mountain of work for her this morning.
But above all that, she was happy for the reason for the work. Thanks to Asanti and Task Force 82 things were moving forward in the Gamma Quadrant at a faster pace than she'd first envisioned when they began.
Thanks to his handling of Ahska and her father, Etimon was now a part of the Federation and they could move forward with the establishment of the new Starbase in Etimon orbit.
Even now, Task Force 81 escorted the first module as it was towed toward Etimon. It would be jockeyed into orbit awaiting the arival of the additional modules all of which were either nearing completion or significantly under way.
A hand appeared near her elbow with a cup of her favorite coffee with a dash of cream swirling in the cup.
"Thank you Mack," she said as she lifted the cup. A deep breath confirmed it was her favoite blend freshly ground. "Mmmm," was her appreciation after a careful sip.
"Your lunch is ready Ma'am."
She looked up about to say she'd be there in a few minutes but the look on his face told her that would be a very bad idea. If there were anyone that could bully her into anything these days it was her steward. He'd somehow attached himself to her at some point and followed her from command to command. She'd long ago given up the struggle. His heels dug on occasion but she knew it was all for her own good. He'd trained her well.
She smiled and rose picking up a PADD to continue working before she moved to the table. Mack walked behind her to hold her chair. Her coffee cup appeared again as if by magic and she looked up to thank him only to have the PADD plucked from her fingers.
"Lunch," he said softly.
She looked at her plate and then the one across from her and back up at Mack. "Someone joining me?" There were any number of possibilities.
"Yes Ma'am," he said. The chime sounded "And right on time." Mack smiled and went to answer the door.
