[USS Chimera] SD: 240812.06 Personal Log Cmdr. Wellington

 
=/\= Counseling Offices - Deck 11 =/\=
Athena looked over the half a dozen offices that had been assigned to counseling.  They were cozy in nature but held the same decor as the rest of the ship .... basic metallic.  {If it weren't for the small pieces of furniture ... it would be like any cell on the block.}  She heaved a sigh.  {And the personal quarters aren't much better.... or at least not mine.  Too bad I can't have Anya to get to some really good shops before .... well .... any time soon.}
 
She had pretty much locked herself away as she checked to be sure the crew had all had their evaluations completed; fortunately there were only a few stragglers.  {Gray ... did they have to make all the walls this .... dull shade of gray.}  She let a puff of air blow the tumbling tress out of her eyes and then deftly moved it behind her ear with her fingers.  She took a padd and began to make a list and when she had made the notes for the counseling offices she moved on to her own quarters.
 
=/\= Deck Two =/\=
Athena entered her quarters and changed out of her uniform.  Her uniform lay across the bottom of the bed as she pulled on a pair of black shorts and a royal blue tank top.  She traversed the rooms from one end to the other added to the list she had already started.  {Now... let's see if I can find anything one the base.}
 
=/\= SB 234 - Unity =/\=
Athena had already been in an out of several of the shops but hadn't managed to acquire very much on her list yet.  She did manage to find a half dozen lap blankets to place on the backs of the chairs in the counseling rooms.  The blankets were soft and in various shades of blues and greens which all gave her an immediate sense of peace.  {I hope these will soften those stark rooms up.}
 
She managed to wonder in about a dozen more shops in the next hour but still had only taken another item or two off her list.  Feeling a bit defeated and defiantly more than a bit tired Athena hurried back to the ship. She managed to make it through the security check without assistance this time but still had to submit to being searched. 
 
=/\= Chimera-C various parts =/\=
Athena hurried along to the counseling offices and started placing the blankets on the chairs she thought the patients would choose to sit in.  She looked at each office critically, {Better ... but still not right.}  She sighed as she moved to do the last office ... Hers.  She entered her own office and felt as if someone else had been there and recently.  She scanned the room as she went to put the aquamarine blanket on the back of its chair.  She artfully arranged the blanket, fanning it across the back.  She gave a smile liking the effect, but the smile quickly went away as her eyes caught sight of a small box sitting on her desk.
 
Her heart started beating harder as she turned and surveyed the room one last time.  She went to the desk and picked up the box.  Her hand trembled slightly as she lifted the lid inside was a small card that read these reminded me of your eyes.  Under neath the card sat a pair of sapphire earrings.  They were elegant and matched her engagement ring.  The smile returned to her face.  {I wonder how....}  She shook her head and took her last purchase back to her quarters.
 
Upon reaching her quarters she was aware that there were messages waiting for her.  "Computer play messages," she requested as she took the large blanket that seemed to match the shade of red of Vik's eyes and spread it across the bed.  She took the earrings and tried them on as her messages finished playing.  She winked at her self and took the earrings off, placing them back in the box.  She took the box and placed it in a safe place before going to take a shower and getting dressed in her dress uniform.
