Errant

In the corner of her eyes: darkness in motion, fleeting impressions of drones.

She wears the uniform now. In this city, it is a cloak of acceptability, a shield of impunity. Civilians never question officers.

But it is irrelevant here in this hive of black and grey. Starfleet Headquarters. She fixes her gaze firmly ahead. She misses the bright uniforms of Voyager.

She misses Janeway more. An appointment not kept, and no word since.

Darkened office. No scent of coffee. Empty desk. Searching by touch, back of the top drawer. Hairpins roll beneath her fingers.

Three days and only hairpins.
