CONCORD HQ
Consulate
Marleeâs feet were kicked up on her small desk, ankles crossed, and she had three aurals arrayed in front of her. The leftmost one contained a breakdown of the number and categorization of the Godjan refugees brought to Concord soil so far, and the other two set out provisional plans for their care and resettlement. Mia had drafted high-level guidelines before vanishing, but now someone had to work out the details of implementing those guidelines on the ground. It was one task Marlee didnât mind undertaking, though.
She had felt terrible about leaving Vaihe alone while she was trapped on Namino, but wow, had the Godjan girl stepped up! The initiative Vaihe had displayed in coming to Mia and devising her own plan for evacuating her fellow Godjans was impressive. Marlee would like to take credit for seeing a spark of moxie in Vaihe from the beginning, but the truth was, sheâd simply wanted to save an abused girl from the vile Savrakaths.
Now she wished she could thank Mia personally for taking such tremendous steps to help Vaiheâto help all the Godjansâbut Mia remained out of her reach. She set a reminder in her eVi to go visit Vaihe at the refugee camp as soon as she climbed out from under the mountain of work that had greeted her on her return to the office.
A polite throat-clearing drew her attention to the open door of her office. Dean Veshnael stood there looking refreshed and serene, as always. She dropped her feet to the floor and sat up straighter, as was only polite. âYes, sir?â
He carried a small quantum cube suspended in a translucent, sealed box in both hands. âI have several files that need to be delivered to the Asterion Dominion Advisor Committee. Officially, with proper sign-off and transfer notation. I wondered if you might want to deliver them for me.â
She regarded him curiously. âI thought you said when it came to the Asterions, you wanted to be the public face of the Consulate for a while.â
âI did, and it would be my preference. But the addition of running the Consulate to a plate already brimming with running the Novoloume government and seeing to my duties as a Concord Senator is not leaving many free hours in my days to indulge in preferences.â
âI understand.â She stood and accepted the box from him. âIâll be happy to deliver this for you.â
âThank you, Ms. Marano.â
When heâd departed, she consciously resisted the urge to sprint off for the Dominion straightaway. Instead, she sat back down and spent ten minutes preparing her recommendations regarding the Godjan resettlement plans, including rolling out temporary credit accounts to the refugees. The move to a new planet filled with strange aliens was going to be overwhelming enough for them without the pressure to immediately obtain jobs in a society they did not yet understand. If everything went well, self-sufficiency would come in time.
Satisfied, she sent off the recommendations, then grabbed her jacket and hustled over to Special Projects, followed by the Caeles Prism Hub.
