James checked his orders, and the room numbers as he walked down the corridor. Once he found the number on his orders he knocked briefly and then using his card access he unlocked the door and entered the room.

Antonia had been wandering the halls and paused when she heard someone coming down the hall. She was lost and so she picked up her pace and as she rounded the corner saw someone enter a room. "Excuse me?!" She called out. As she moved forward the wheels of her suitcase rattled.

James stopped and leaned his head out. "Yes Ma'am?" he responded in his south western drawl. He took the woman in she was attractive he had to admit that at least to himself.

The woman was a civilian. Antonia carried a light backpack and was pulling a wheeled duffle bag. "I am so sorry" she apologised "I am trying to find my quarters and I am lost, do you know your way around this place?"

James shrugged briefly before he raised his orders. "Do you have a room assignment I might be able to help you with that." he said as he set his duffle down.

Antonia pulled a folded piece of paper from her pocket. She held it out. "This place is a maze"

He took the proffered piece of paper and had a quick read of it. "It looks..." he started as he walked down the way he had come slowly. "...that you are here." he said stopping a door down and across the hall from his room.

Antonia let out a breath. "Thank you so much" she said earnestly. "I have been walking around for over an hour."

James chuckled slightly. "No worries, glad I could help."

Antonia held out her hand. "Antonia Hall" She introduced herself. "Civilian"

James took her hand. "First Lieutenant James McCoy, it is a pleasure to meet you ma'am."

Her lips quirked. "Please, people call me Toni."

He smiled. "It's my pleasure Toni." he said as he turned to leave her.

"Nice meeting you" She called after him before opening her room door and entering, pulling her rolling suitcase behind her.
