GC Tea House

[Geisha_Maiko]

A newish ship lands in the cargo bay, settling down on a ship's slot reserved for Lady Kurisho.
The maintenance crew gathers around, starting their standard refueling and rearming procedures.
A few moments later, the cargo bay doors open, reveling a loading ramp.

Lady Kurisho departs from the ship, followed by a large crate on a remote driven hover-lift.
''Take these parts to the crew that is assembling the holodeck. Tell them it is the Electron Driver they been asking for. She says to a nearby dock worker.

'At once, Madam' The dockworker replies, bows slightly then takes the cargo box away.

Lady Kurisho glances around the bay for a moment. Again some of the crew people take a moment to notice the 'non-normal' attire she is wearing. Bright Yellow and Red Kimono top with a loose fitting matching skirt.

Her brief survey of the cargo bay is interrupted by a beeping of her data pad. She reaches into a fold of her kimono, withdrawing the device and reading the screen.

Aw...the reports have arrived, she mutters to herself.
Then another beep: Incoming Call. She clicks on Accept. An image of male with some tattoos appear on her screen.

''Kurisho? Are you free for a late night dinner or drink?''

''Yes, Hon. I should be unless the station has gone completely to hell during the few days I was away.
By the way, thank you for the help.''

''Anything for you. Contact me when you know more of your schedule.''

''I will.''

She clicks off the coms as she makes her way down one of the hallways.
First stop, her office. She unlocks her door and enters. Seeing the placed data crystal, she picks the item up ,places it into a computerized crystal-reader and enters a access code.
Reading the reports, she makes a few notes and updates a GC database.

Next item....the nero-net. Letting out a slight sigh, she activate a screen to read the latest postings.
'12 pages of junk', she thinks to herself. ''There has to be a better way to deal with this.......''
She lets out another soft sigh as she clicks on 'read next page' button.
What seems to be slow and forever process to Lady Kurisho, does get done eventually.

She proceeds to the next item on her Do List.
Station Alerts.
She seems surprised that during her brief away trip, there is no reports of fires, bombings, Steve being killed (too many times) or other of the station's disasters.

Great. The karma is probably being saved up for me to return...I need a drink''.

Key up a communication button on her desk, she places an order for a drink to be brought to her office.
'Barbot....Bloody-Mary.....vodka.....cardi free....chilled glass.....4 drops of green mild sauce''

Typing a few commands on her computer , brings her to another item to do: New Recruits.
Reading the applications requests, entering a few comments down on her notes, she pauses slightly as she reads one of the Aps. AGE: 8.

'You got to be kidding me', she says to herself. She runs a verification recheck.
18.Negative, the results reply: 8.
Lady Kurisho enters a few more commands into her computer : Mark Application for 30 review. Set reminder calendar.

By this time, her 'doorbell' is chimed. An image of a Bar tending robot is displayed on the corner of the third computer monitor.

Enter !

Her office's door open, letting in the barbot. It delivers the drink and departs quickly, the door closing behind it. She moves the drink over to a small square 'coaster' looking item, where after a brief moment, the coaster blinks a green light.

Lady Kurisho then takes a sip of the drink. ''Blast it to hell.......never enough vodka in it''
Opening a drawer of her desk, she takes out a bottle filled with clear fluid and 'fixes' her drink.
