The Lieutenant walked into the dimly lit room, observing the office he had been given along with his new promotion. Operations Center contained many consoles and devices that monitored and maintained many systems on board. He moved closer to his office as a voice called out. "Good Morning Lieutenant." Enterprise welcomed Figs in. "Good Morning Enterprise." He took a seat behind the lone desk and inhaled a large amount of air to calm his mixed heart. The room was still dim in light as remained in his solitaire position. A console sat near him it's screen black awaiting a command. Without a second thought he activated the console and proceeded to look over the day's agenda.
Hours went by, the room now lit to optimal levels which allowed the Lieutenant to work without harm. Many Junior officers and crewmen came in and out of the office asking questions and giving him PADDs for supplies and ship status. He was going over the latest request when the door rang. Without looking up he stated "Come in."

OOC: ;D A minuet is a french dance. I am pretty sure you meant Minute.
IC:
At the sound of her voice Andrew looked up to see Lt. Jade Mandelo entering the room. He got up hesitantly as if addressing an superior officer. "Lieutenant, what can I do for you?" The rank Lieutenant still foreign to his ears as he still felt more of an Ensign.

"Uh, right." He corrected himself and placed his hand behind his head trying to ease his embarrassment. "Thanks, still not use to the title." His hand returned to his he became a bit more serious. "I only been on board for over a month and already I received a promotion. There is a lot of resentment because of it. I mean there were others waiting to get this spot and not only that I was promoted so quickly while others have been Ensigns for a longer time." He looked towards Jade a little more gently with a smile. "I wanna thank you for all you have done for me while I was your assistant. You taught me a great deal about being an officer and allowed me to expand my horizons."

"Rough, been busy all day." He goes back to his desk and picks up one of the PADDs. "Engineering is requesting Transporter room Two be taken offline to perform system maintenance. Science wants to use that very same Transporter for an experiment and the other three transporters are offline due to a power outage on the deck." He picks up another PADD. "And to top that off I got multiple requests to use the on board sensors for different reasons." Figueroa placed his free hand on his head. "It's a headache and a half and it's not even noon yet."

"Thats the life of a department head" she smiled "well I think I will leave you to it. Your replacement won't train herself."

A small laugh came out of the Lieutenant's mouth along with a kind smile. "Tell her I send my regards." He said as he saluted his hand with the PADD still in it.

The Chief of Intel decided to drop by the Operations Office, and looked around to see if Figs was there.

Indeed he was around but not in sight. He was in a maintenance shaft that opened up on the roof of his office. The shaft was long and wide as it contained many access points for both the power grid and the core itself. He was working on a malfunctioning power terminal when the Hikari entered the room. Enterprise appeared before Hikari and greeted her with a warm welcome and smile. Before the Chief of Intel could request anything Enterprise just looked up towards the opening on the roof. "He will be down shortly." Her eyes blinked and her nose twitched as she said those words. Unfortunately for Figs his call was not in the form of any verbal indication of a guest but was instead a physical one. The node he was working on was deactivated to prevent any accidents as such he did not expect it to suddenly explode is a brilliant light causing him to loose his balance and fall from the hatch. The only good thing that occurred was him being tangles in endless wires and straps that prevented his fall though his comical appearance was worth the destruction of a small node in Enterprise's eyes. She gave a small warm laugh as the bewildered Lieutenant looked up towards the blue hologram. "Enterprise, what the hell?! Those nodes are sensitive, you could have been servilely damaged them and me." Enterprise knew that Andrew would come out uninjured as she would not intentionally harm him physically but did enjoy to torment him emotionally as her own way of showing she cared. "Don't worry, it was just a minor electrical discharge. No harm done. Besides that is why I have you Lieutenant Figs, to ensure all my systems are operating at peak efficiency. Anyways you have a guest." She gestured for the Hikari which left Andrew in a embarrassing situation. His face red as he greeted his companion. "Hi," he took a gulp of nothing as he began to speak once more. "Makoto-chan... What can I do for you?"

She stood still in her alternate duty uniform, waiting for him, and looking around at the office and the blue hologram. Then a loud crash occurred and she saw the person she came to see in a rather embarrassing situation. "Hi." she said with a smile, having giggled at his predicament before nodding. "Just wanted to drop by and see you, and congratulate you on your promotion, its well-deserved."

His embarrassment still hanged upon him as tried to escape his imprisonment. While Hikari made her intentions known Andrew had a hard time trying to release his restraints and as if on cue as she said the word 'drop' he heard a subtle tear in the wires. He was gonna say a few words of thanks for her congrats but his eyes opened up as he felt the artificial gravity take over dropping him on to the floor with a thud. Landing on his now sore behind he finally replied to the awaiting Hikari. "Oww..." His hand still rubbing his new bruises. "Thank you. It really means a lot to me." He carried himself off the flow and grabbed a spar towel from one of the many lockers. Wiping off some excess filth from the shaft he moved over to Hikari. "Sorry for the mess I was working on an annoying problem with the power grid and well..." His voice trailed off as his eyes finally meet with Hikari. His embarrassment subsided as he looked upon her with a new refreshed sense of purpose.

"Its alright Andrew-kun." she said, looking around. "Well looks like you run a good place, with Enterprise's help at least." she added before her eyes met his and they just looked at each other for a moment.
