PT 007 Xho and Aevernis

Commander, 8:11 PM

Commander Xho heads off to go and find Sage in the kitchens. Hopefully.

USS, 8:12 PM

Checking in the kitchens, you instead find that Secondary Chef Ilana has taken over and Sage has just left out a nice teatime spread.  A number of other NPCs are there though, including the security team, Viktor and Arcane Officer Williamson.

Commander, 8:14 PM

Commander Xho nods to them.

Commander, 8:17 PM

Good afternoon.

USS, 8:17 PM

((...do you go over and say that to someone or just to the whole cafeteria?))

Commander, 8:19 PM

((I thought I was in the kitchen, not the dining room?))

USS, 8:21 PM

((Oh!  Ok, in that case you see Ilana's been left in charge and a smaller staff of chefs is working.))

USS, 8:21 PM

Ilana: "Good Afternoon sir, ma'am, Commander!"

Commander, 8:22 PM

Commander Xho nods.

Commander, 8:23 PM

Is Mr. Sage off-duty?

USS, 8:24 PM

Ilana: "Mr. Sage usually takes this time to maintain the shrine to Qudhos.  I think he said he was gonna check in with Vlad, though."

Commander, 8:25 PM

Ah, I see.

Commander, 8:25 PM

If he returns, tell him I stopped by, please.

USS, 8:27 PM

Ilana nods.  "Sure thing, Commander."

Commander, 8:28 PM

Commander Xho heads back into the cafeteria and waves at Viktor and Williamson as she passes them.

USS, 8:29 PM

They return the gesture

Commander, 8:29 PM

Commander Xho goes to try and find the counselor!

USS, 8:30 PM

You find her in her office, pouring over a tablet.  "Ah, Commander.  I was hoping you'd be checking in at some point."

Commander, 8:31 PM

I imagine so. Do you have a few minutes?

USS, 8:33 PM

Counselor Aevernis, a red-haired, gold skinned, high elf in a sleeveless variation of the Planefleet uniform, nods and offers you a seat across from her.

Commander, 8:33 PM

Commander Xho sits.

Commander, 8:35 PM

I would like to know what you think about Ensign Duo.

USS, 8:37 PM

Aevernis: "Fascinating case.  It's less like having a single patient and more like having three.  And his One side is extremely atypical of most solid-based life forms.  I am not sure how to classify them."

USS, 8:38 PM

Aevernis: "On the positive side, Duo seems to be largely stable.  Least, moreso than I would expect.  You understand of course that I can only discuss so much.  Even with his superior officer, I need my patients to know what they tell me will remain confidential."

Commander, 8:39 PM

Of course.

Commander, 8:39 PM

What about his fitness for duty?

USS, 8:40 PM

Aevernis: "...I said in my last report that I did not think he was ready to return to his post.  In a way, I still believe that.  However, I do think other solutions could be doable right now.  I am planning to float some to him during our next session."

Commander, 8:41 PM

Commander Xho nods.

Commander, 8:41 PM

I had thought to perhaps give him an array of aptitude and interest tests, as he may be interested in a different area of specialization now.

USS, 8:42 PM

Aevernis: "My thoughts exactly.  I thought perhaps we could do a sort of...junior grade recreation.  Let him get involved in some different positions and see how they fit."

USS, 8:43 PM

Aevernis: "I am concerned that, despite being aware of the new persona, he is still expecting to be and be treated as Dalarei.  Which I not only think he won't, I don't think he wants to."

Commander, 8:44 PM

Cognitively he is likely seeing the ship primarily through Dalarei's context, so that would make sense.

USS, 8:48 PM

Aevernis nods.  "One has no context so that would make sense.  I know Duo spoke with the council on the Joined world regarding separation.  Obviously he opted out."

Commander, 8:49 PM

Commander Xho nods.

USS, 8:50 PM

Aevernis: "Is there something specific you needed to know, Commander?"

Commander, 8:51 PM

No. I will administer the tests, if he is willing to take them.

USS, 8:53 PM

Aevernis: "I will discuss it with him at the beginning of our next session.  I am glad you are taking this sort of interest in your crew.  I hope it's not just Duo, though.  His is an extreme case, but everyone needs their own time in here now and then."

Commander, 8:54 PM

Of course. Have any other people had work-related issues I should be aware of?

USS, 8:56 PM

Aevernis shakes her head.  "None yet.  A couple I'm keeping an eye on, will let you know if they seem to be slipping."

Commander, 8:58 PM

Or if they simply need assistance in some way.

USS, 8:59 PM

Aevernis: "Assistance that is beyond me, yes.  Otherwise, it's my job."

Commander, 9:00 PM

Of course. Thank you.

Commander, 9:00 PM

Commander Xho heads out.

USS, 9:01 PM

She nods as you head out and smiles.
