ON:

As soon as the SS Khrysaros was secured and docked Lwazanda hurried through the corridors of the Spacedock class station. "Excuse me, where is Admiral Bremer?"

"Should be in Ops ma'am." Responded a very confused Engineer who's work she had interrupted.

"Of course." She said with a warm smile. The Betazoid woman was quite confused. The was a battle, that much was without question. But the devastation that seemed to have taken Starbase 400 was still in question. to her at least. She needed answers.

The lift shot upwards but seemed to be a bit slower than she remembered. Ops was an absolute shit show. People everywhere. But one man, albeit looking like he could use a good long rest, stood out amongst them. "Mike!" Lwazanda called, clearly overcome with joy in that moment. The Betazoid made her way across Ops to where the admiral stood.

Mike heard the voice...it was almost like nails on a chalk board. He froze a moment and closed his eyes. After taking a breath he turned around, "Lwazanda is that you? When did you get here?" He hoped his smile looked genuine.

"Only just." she said moving closer and grasping his hand. "What's happened?" She asked earnestly.

"Oh, you now, the usual. Galactic war, station taken over, station retaken by the good guys, ongoing repairs to said station." Mike then asked the main question, "What are you doing here? I thought you were on Betazed."

"I've been everywhere." Lwazanda said with a wink. "What can I help with?" She asked. "And where's Janice, I've been trying to contact her."

Mike paused, eyeing Lwazanda for a moment. "Janice..." he took a deep breath, "...was killed a few months ago in combat."

Lazy day allowed a noise to escape her that was indescribable. "Oh Mike. Deities, I had no idea." Tears began to well in her eyes. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here."

"Thank you." Mike replied. It wasn't the time to go over the details, or that he wasn't at the Station or with her when it happened. "She died a hero, saving lives."

Mike took a step away, took a deep breath, then looked back at Lwazanda, "If you'd like to help on the Promenade we have a lot of civilians returning maybe you can help there. Or, in the habitat area we have a lot of families returning as well, some will need new quarters assigned to them."

The Betazoid woman nodded, understanding his emotions about the topic. She choked back her own tears. "Who...umm who is overseeing the habitat area? I'll touch base with them."

Mike thought for a moment, "No one, until now." He flashed a smile.

"Of course." Lwazanda smiled warmly. "I'll... Need to get a list of which units are operable." She blinked quickly while thinking.

Mike walked over to the Ops station. The Officer there handed him a PADD which Mike then handed to Lwazanda.

Lwazanda said tough to find the words she needed . "If you can think of anything else I can help you with, don't think twice."

"Thank you Lwazanda." Mike paused, "It's good to have you back."
