<br><br>Her office on the Victory | <br><br>'''Former Offices'''<br> | ||
Katy's office on the starbase was on deck 512, the same deck as one of the main security offices, near the main brig. It was always sparsely-furnished and had three doors - a door to the corridor outside, a door to the adjoining security office, and (most vital of all, in Katy's thinking) a door to a small private lavatory. The second door she often kept in open position, just to facilitate interaction with the other security officers on duty. | |||
<br><br>Her office on the Victory was somewhat smaller. It was located on deck 9, just around the corner from the Brig and down the hall from the Armoury, and featured the most comfortable chair Katy has ever sat in. | |||

Katy's current quarters are on deck 9 of the Excalibur. They are spacious, and furnished with an interesting combination of high-tech-modern and worn-and-comfy that somehow mostly works together. The lavatory is huge, with a luxury shower fit for a deity, the bed is super-fluffy, and it even has a small private chamber with a mini science lab. The walls are decorated with various paintings, each in a different medium and each depicting somewhere Katy has called home in the past. | |||
<br><br>On the Victory, her quarters | <br><br>'''Former Quarters'''<br> | ||
<br><br> | Her starbase quarters were a cozy one-bedroom apartment in the habitat section, deck 905. It never really looked lived-in, save for the messes she would leave there; discarded laundry lying about randomly and such. Her kitchen, however, was spotless, due to its state of pretty-much-never-being-used. | ||
<br><br>On the Victory, her quarters were on Deck 9, amidst the crew quarters. The rooms were practically bare. | |||
<br><br>All iterations of her quarters do have what she considers to be the two most important features of living-space - a big, sturdy bed for flopping down (and occasionally jumping) on, and a lavatory with a real, honest-to-goodness shower. | |||

She was rushed home just in time to deal with a tense situation on the starbase regarding a freighter of expired medicine that had been bound for victims of a Romulan plague.</p> | ||
