Executive Officer's Office (Tiger)
The Office of the Executive Officer aboard USS Tiger is situated on Deck 2, directly below the Main Bridge. Situated opposite the Captains Ready Room, with which it shares a bathroom, access to both offices is via a starway from the Main Bridge.
The Main Bridge includes an opening on either side of the main viewscreen, both leading to the stairway. These meet on a landing behind the middle of the viewscreen, with several steps down towards the aft of the ship from this point leading to the two office doors. The XO's Office is the left door.
Lt Cmdr Ventu (XO: May - Sept 2385)
Borrowing an idea from counselor Emmalyne Scott, Lily's main design feature employed a holo-cube that projected a holographic image on its walls. Set to display large windows on three walls, it usually displayed a space view of a planet and a bustling space station. When alone however, she would change the view so it showed a massive starscape on every surface but the floor.
- In terms of tangibles, Lily's office contained;
- On her desk
- A standard-issue computer monitor
- A small plant that usually changes every week or so - Lily's no gardener, and she keeps killing whatever she replicates.
- A family portrait, taken several years before, of the Ventus in Australia. Lily's about twenty-three in the picture.
- A holo-image of her sister's ship, the Vajra.
- Displayed about the room
- Various other pictures, including
- Lily and Nick on a Risan beach.
- Lily with her family in her new ensign's uniform, shortly before being assigned to the USS Victory.
- A young Lily (around eight) with her mother on the bridge of her mother's ship the day she retired.
- Her father, Jarin, holding a four-year-old Lily up to access his terminal in the offices of the FNN.
- Lily, Quinn, and Hayden on the DS17 promenade during their last layover on the Independence.
- A (very staged) picture of Hayden on one knee, proposing to a seated Lily. She's laughing, and he's giving the camera a dirty look.
- Lily, around twenty-seven, posing with her sister on their way out of the Borderlands.
- A candid shot of Lily and Abby Roberts at a library tableduring Lily's freshman year.
- A shot of Jarin, Matilda, and Alexa shortly before Matilda arrived on Victory - the last time her family was whole and together without her.
- A small shelf of books, made up of whatever Lily's just finished or is going to read next, as well as a few psychological books (On Becoming a Counselor, Ode to Psyche, Jung's Dreams). A couple of cookbooks also find a home there.
- A carved, wooden dolphin.
- A large aloe plant flanks the desk. Surprisingly, it's survived several months in Lily's care and seems to be flourishing. She takes its survival over the smaller plants as a cosmic message to "go big."
- Since Lily isn't the neatest person, the office usually has a few stray PADDs scattered over its desk, chairs, couch, etcetera.
- Various other pictures, including
- On her desk
