Vacation was over. That much was obvious after speaking with Inari, and then finding a small stack of notes and letters for her at the bar. A quick glance at the infirmary just confirmed it more. She was sitting by the fire with some vanilla chai while she glanced at the letters, and made some more notations on fresh sheets in her notebook. Previous ones she had already copied, and left for Security previously.

"That's why I think we should have one," Teja says, quietly. "I do not wish to tell you what to do, Kate; truly not! But I would wish to contribute all that I can -- my axe, my work, my experience, my knowledge."

"Just watch the tone around here, most people don't like being ordered around. You're not royalty here, just a person like the rest of us."

She added in a quieter tone, "But thank you for the advice and suggestions."

"I know I am not a king here, just a dead man in a place full of many different people," Teja says. "It is sometimes difficult -- I was used to men looking to me for answers, for decisions, for third ways out of dilemmas. Here, I am out of my depth in several respects, but would still do what I can."

"We're all frustrated by this, and trying to do everything we can."

"I would rather help solve the problems," Teja says, somewhat ruefully, "than contribute to them on top of all else."

"That's all we ask from everybody," She agreed.

Teja nods. "I will do my best," he says.
