[USS Calypso - Operations HQ]

Lizzie was having a hard time doing nothing -- relatively speaking. She had her arboretum, but with Sam missing, she felt like she should do something. She still thought of Sam as her Chief, even though she'd left science for command.

Realistically, though, there wasn't much she could do to help. So she decided to keep herself busy. Changing up the arboretum was the best way to do that.

Her first stop was Operations.

She walked into the office and hailed the first person she saw. "Hi. I would like to talk to someone about allocating more power to the arboretum."

Allison was the only one in the Operations at the moment. It seemed that everyone was running around either monitoring the transmissions or attempting to adjust the sensor array. She was startled as she heard a voice come from behind her. She quickly turned around to see who it was. There was a female, an Ensign, dressed in the blue uniformed. The talk of arboretum immediately pointed to science department. "Ah! You scared me." Allison said with a smile.

"Sorry about that," Lizzie said with a smile. "I guess people are pretty busy around here?"

Allison nodded gently. "Yes, we really do. It's been a hectic few days around here." Allison smiled at her. "So, what can I do for you?"

"I want to change up the arboretum. Add more holo emitters. For that I need more power allocated," Pippa said. Then she grinned. "I would love to have a castle in there."

"A castle huh?" Allison looked at the woman standing in front of her with an amused look on her face. "Is there enough room for a castle in there?"

"Have you been to the arboretum? It's a good size. I can fit a small castle in a corner," she insisted.

Allison shook her head. "No, I haven't had a chance to visit it yet. It's been hectic around here ever since I came aboard." Allison thought for a moment. "So how do you plan on bringing this castle to the arboretum."

"I plan on installing more holo emitters and creating a holo projection of a castle. Right now I have some projections on the bulkheads, but I would like something a little more substantial."

"It sounds like I will have to make a trip to the arboretum when you are all finished." Allison said with a smile.

"You should. Everyone should come to the arboretum at least once," Lizzie said with a grin.

"Well, if it's going to be as wonderful as you make it sound I am sure that they will want to come more than once." Allison said. "Now, as far as getting you some more power that will have to be cleared with the Chief."

"Sounds fair. What else do you need from me?" Lizzie asked.

"There is a work order form we will need you to fill out and submit." Allison said as she turned around to the console. She grabbed a blank PADD and uploaded the form onto it and turned around to face Elizabeth. "Here you go. Fill this out and drop it off here whenever your ready."

Lizzie looked it over carefully. "Okay. I'll bring it back in an hour or so. Thanks!"
