A Vulcan’s
Love
-By Emulated
Chapter 29: Our Love
I
looked across the table at him, peering deep into his beautiful dark
brown eyes. I could’ve searched the universe forever and never
found eyes as alive as his. The way they radiated warmth and love,
making my heart flutter whenever he’d cast them upon mine. He
was perfect. The previous night we spent together was perfect. We
weren’t just making love, we were making something wonderful
together. Something so wonderful that it was hard for me to contain
my smile that morning. I couldn’t help but leave the grin
plastered on my face. It wasn’t a problem though as T’Luk
was quite the fan of my smile, so I made no effort to hide it from
him.
“Thank you for last night...” He spoke
softly, “It was amazing.”
I swallowed some of my
milk, “It was amazing for me too.” I replied, thinking
back to the evening.
It was a curious sensation, being in that
void between full awareness and being drunk. It was as though things
felt less
important. Not in a dangerous or offensive way, but it simply helped
me let go. It was by letting go that allowed me to have such an
amazing night with T’Luk. It was just the amazing way in that
he moved his body. The way he could sense how and what to do, how to
bring me to the heightened levels of pleasure. It was during that
night, looking up at T’Luk’s face as he made love to me,
did I realise that I’d found something far greater than
anything I’d discover as an Astrophysicist. I had discovered
love, true
love. And it felt brilliant.
We shared another look, before we
went back to our breakfast. I grinned again. It was just like when we
were first seeing each other. The longing glances, the tickling in
the stomach, hell, I even started to miss him, and he was sitting
opposite me!
Perhaps it was because we’d reached a new
stage in our relationship. Whether it was our evening at the party
the night before, or what we had shared in the bed, we had moved to
another place. I could feel it and I could sense that he felt the
same.
I watched as T’Luk dipped some of his toast into
the egg, before bringing it to his mouth and eating it. I found it
curious that he’d eat an egg, as I wasn’t exactly sure
what his ‘limits’ were as to his vegetarianism. “Do
all Vulcan’s eat eggs?” I asked.
He swallowed,
“Yes. Many do, but the eggs must be replicated.”
I
nodded, “Kinda like Humans then. I mean we don’t
specifically house chickens for food purposes, so any real eggs
aren’t that easy to come by.”
“Indeed.
However, there are no chickens on Vulcan. The closest animal we have
is similar in appearance to an ostrich, only half the size.”
“So
it’s the same with milk then, I’d assume?” I asked,
recalling the time I spent at Vulcan, when T’Luk showed me some
Yurdk, which were basically Vulcan cows.
“Yes. We do not
raise any animals for food purposes.”
I nodded and ate
some more of my toast, before I looked at him again, “Do you
like jam?” I asked, “You must do.”
“Very
much so, but I prefer something savoury for breakfast, so I only have
it on occasion.”
“Yeah. I’m the same. But I
do like chocolate spread too.” I replied, before I remembered
about the night before. I smiled at him, “How do you feel,
about last night?”
“About the
chocolate?”
“Yes.”
He thought for a
moment, “It was an intriguing experience.” He replied,
“Although I am glad I calculated the precise amounts, as I
would not have been too pleased with a hangover.”
I
laughed at that, shaking my head, “Yeah me too.” I said,
“You got the amounts just right.” I grinned, “You
got the better deal, though. The wine wasn’t that good, not as
good as chocolate.”
“Indeed, however I’d
much rather have your tolerance for cocoa, rather than my tolerance
to alcohol.”
I raised an eyebrow, “Surely Laura
could give you something, a hypospray perhaps?”
“I
believe that one exists for that very purpose. I will be sure to ask
her about it later.”
I smiled, “At least you can
eat strawberries.”
“Yes. Had I been intolerant to
those it would have been very...bad.”
I giggled, “You’re
talking with a lot of emotion today. I hope you’re not
drunk.”
He paused for a moment, “I could be.”
I
cocked my head at him, “No, no you’re not.” I
replied, letting out a giggle.
He finished up his juice, “I
am not drunk, I am simply...” He looked at me,
“Happy.”
“Happy? Really?”
He
nodded, “It is proving quite hard to suppress, and I have not
meditated in the last couple of days.”
“Please
don’t let me stop you.”
He shook his head, “It
is a pleasant...feeling.” He said, “I will meditate
later.”
I raised an eyebrow at him, “You’re
so hard to define, you know.”
“To define?”
He asked.
“Yeah. Like if I were to write a book about
you, or a story, it’d be hard to define you as a
character.”
“I have never thought about that
before” He said, “But the same could be said about you,
Kai. You have many different...qualities.”
“Like
my smile?” I asked.
“Yes. That is one of your
greatest qualities.”
I grinned, “You know what
your greatest quality is?”
He opened his mouth, but I
knew what he was going to say so I cut him off.
“No, I
was not going to talk about those
beauties, I was
going to say your love.”
“My love?”
“Yes.
Your love and your love for me.”
*
Earth, San Francisco
“Yes, the Romulans
arrived at the table this morning, only to say that they were
leaving.” Came Admiral Hayes’ voice through the
screen.
Becker raised an eyebrow, “Just like
that?”
Hayes nodded, “It hasn’t come as that
much of a surprise for us here on Vulcan. The Romulans have been
dragging their feet in the talks for the past few weeks.” He
paused, “This was the most likely outcome, at least they
haven’t had us waiting around for much longer.”
“When
are they departing Vulcan?” Asked Ive.
“They’re
heading back to their ships now so it should be within the next
twenty-minutes at the latest.”
Becker nodded, “What
about escorts to the Neutral Zone?”
“Task force
Foxtrot three have been on standby in the Vulcan system for that
purpose. They will escort the diplomatic ships, along with the Tal
Shiar warbirds back to the Neutral Zone.”
“Very
well. We will monitor the situation from here.” Replied
Ive.
“Good. I will be returning to Earth shortly and
should arrive within three days. Hayes out.” He said, before he
closed the channel.
Ive sat there for a moment, before looking
at Becker, “How many Tal Shiar warbirds are currently in orbit
of Vulcan?”
He looked on the monitor, “There are
twelve Tal Shiar vessels are in orbit of Vulcan. They are the same
twelve that initially crossed the Neutral Zone.” He
replied.
“So they are the only Tal Shiar vessels in
Federation space?” He asked, looking at Becker.
Becker
turned to him, “Yes.”
*
Romulus, Omega-Zero- Twenty minutes later
Chairman Kozarr tapped on
the unit next to him, "What is our status?" He ordered,
looking down at one of the officers to his right.
"The
diplomatic and Tal Shiar fleet has just left Vulcan. They should
arrive here in two days." He replied, "Twenty Starfleet
vessels are escorting them back."
Kozarr laughed, “They
aren’t taking any chances.” He replied, before
swallowing, drowning his humour, "What about Interception group-
Omicron, any sign of Starfleet detecting them?"
"No,
Sir." He said, "The three warbirds are under cloak and are
still in orbit over Vulcan."
"Excellent." He
remarked, turning to Vorath, "Send the message, tell them to
proceed to their first target."
Vorath nodded, but
paused, “Are you certain that this is the right course to take,
Starfleet-“
“Will get in the way.” He
replied, shifting in his seat, “We’ve gone over this
Vorath. The senate agrees that this is the best solution.” He
paused, “And given our recent...well, our lack of
accomplishments when concerning diplomatic relations with the
Federation, we have to be the ones to do this.”
“Ive
is an honourable man.” She replied.
“Perhaps. But
one honourable man is not enough...” He trailed off, facing the
large viewscreen, "Send the message. It's time to complete this
mission."
*
“Ten days.”
He said, “Ten days until she’s good to fly.”
“Really?
That soon?” I asked.
He nodded, “The engineers at
Regulus worked overtime to get her out sooner.” He replied,
“She’s a new ship and they don’t like seeing new
ships in dry dock.” He paused, “Makes it look bad on the
rest of us engineers.”
It was about an hour after T’Luk
and I had finished breakfast and we were sitting outside one of the
hotels, basking in the sun. I say ‘we’ when in reality,
it was only H’Jan and myself, as T’Luk and Raylis had
headed off to the gym. I would have joined them but I wasn’t in
the mood for something that physically demanding. But where I
was sitting with H’Jan was nice. We had a nice view of the bay,
including Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island. It really made me
appreciate once again that Starfleet had picked a beautiful location
for the Academy.
I shook my head at him, “As long as it
gets me my room back sooner, I’ll be pleased.”
“You
want to get back to work?”
I nodded, “Yeah. While
it’s great to have all this time off, and to spend so much time
with T’Luk, there becomes a point where I wanna get back to
what I do, as a job.” I replied, “Stops me from feeling
completely useless.” I joked.
He nodded over towards
T’Luk, “I don’t think he’ll ever call you
useless.” He said, looking at me closely, before a smile crept
onto his face, “You two seem even close today, and T’Luk
seems as though he’s only a few stages away from smiling
himself. Did something happen that I should know about?”
I
opened my mouth, but H’Jan interrupted me.
“I’m
not taking about that.” He giggled, “I mean
something else. Anything else. You both seem really ‘elated’.”
I
smiled, “Well, aside from...what I can’t mention...”
I said, raising my eyebrows, “Nothing special has happened,
we’re just...happy.”
He laughed, “Oh, so
you’re both reflecting back on how great your life is now?”
I
swallowed some of my juice and nodded, “Something like that,
yeah.” I looked about, “Any sign of the others yet?”
He
nodded, “I saw Alex and Trey over in the swimming pool
earlier.” He smiled, “They are dangerous together, them
two.”
I smiled, “Yeah, they are.” I looked
over H’Jan’s shoulder, noticing Alex and Trey walking up
towards us, “Especially the Betazoid.” I said loudly,
“He’s the real mastermind.”
“I
don’t even need a superhero ability to have heard that one.”
Replied Trey, telepathically, “Or heard T’Luk and
yourself last night.”
I coughed at that and looked
at him as he approached the table, “The damn cheek of you! We
didn’t even stay in the same hotel!”
Trey looked
at Alex, “Notice how he doesn’t even deny being loud.”
I
watched as Alex sat down next to me, his blond hair still wet in
places, “How are you, Alex?” I asked, “And what’s
happened to Trey, he never used to be so vulgar!”
Alex
laughed, “It was my idea.”
I buried my face in my
hands and leaned towards the table, “Oh, someone help us!”
I joked.
He laughed again, “I wanted T’Luk to hear
it too, but he’s not here.”
I shook my head,
“Yeah, he’s gone to the gym with Raylis.”
Trey
looked at Alex, “You want something to drink, Hon?”
“Sure,
I’ll have a...” He looked at my glass of Gokund, “Bolian
tonic, just like Kai.”
I reached across, messing up his
hair, “Shut up, you!”
He giggled and looked at
Trey, “Just a latté, please.”
Trey nodded
and headed over to the replicator.
I turned to H’Jan,
“You think T’Luk and I are different this morning, what
about these two? They’re hyperactive!”
H’Jan
smiled, “Yeah. Too many sweets I bet.”
Alex shook
his head, “We’re fine. Just in a good mood after
yesterday at the party. It was great fun.”
“Yeah,
it was.” I replied, “A good way to see everyone
again.”
Trey returned with the latté for Alex and
some tea for himself, “So do you guys know where Laura and
Casey are?”
I looked over at H’Jan, as he had been
there before T’Luk and I had arrived.
“No.”
He replied, “I’m not sure if they went back home.”
He said, “They’d have had the house to themselves, and
it’s only a transporter trip away so...”
He
nodded, “What about you, where’d you end up?”
H’Jan
thought for a moment, “I just went to a hotel room and
slept.”
Trey looked at him, “Don’t lie to
me...” He smirked.
H’Jan laughed, “I was
hoping you wouldn’t figure it out.”
“Dude,
with a pause like that we all knew something was up.” I said,
“So come on, spill.”
He smiled, “I met up
with someone, “He began, “But it’s not what you
think, we were just hanging out.”
“Where?”
Asked Trey, smiling.
“Lake Armstrong.”
Alex
looked at him, “What? You went to the Moon?”
He
nodded, “I met up with a friend from the Academy. He said he’d
show me about.” He smiled, “They have some amazing
research centres up there.”
I frowned, “Wasn’t
it too late to be looking at research centres?”
He
shrugged, “One or two in the morning.” He said, “It
was really cool, to hang about and stuff.”
“Looking
at what, new warp drives or something?” Asked Trey.
H’Jan
laughed, “No, I was kidding about the research centres.”
He said, “But I did end up at the lake with some guys from the
Academy. You get a nice view from up there.”
I smiled,
“That you do. I remember my first time I looked back at Earth
from there. Pretty amazing.”
Alex looked over my
shoulder, “Here comes our resident Gorn and Vulcan.”
I
glanced behind me, watching as T’Luk and Raylis headed over,
“Hey guys, how was your workout?”
“It was
very engaging.” Replied T’Luk.
“Yes, great
fun.” Added Raylis, “T’Luk has an incredible amount
of stamina.”
Trey nudged me, “Stamina,
eh?”
“Yeah, an incredible amount of
stamina.” I retorted, noting T’Luk giving this look that
just spoke, ‘Damn right!’

Bolarus IX -(Bolian Homeworld)- Two days later
Nikk Zot leaned back
in his chair, sipping some of his Raktajino; Klingon coffee. Zot had
a good life, many friends, a nice house, an...established career. He
didn’t have any family. They were uncalculated and
unpredictable risks that he could not afford. Especially not in those
troubling times.
They had lost everything......months of
planning...gone...
He heard the faintest rustle behind him,
before the disrupter was placed at his temple, but not before a hand
came down, ripping his blue mask from his face, revealing the true
person underneath...
...The only sound was the
glass smashing on the floor.
*
Earth, England
It had been two days
since we left San Francisco, and T’Luk and I were back at my
house in England. We had about a week before the Titan was supposedly
finished with her repairs, but seeing as we heard no official word
from Starfleet, I took it as a sign that we still had several days
left of our shore leave.
T’Luk and I kept ourselves busy
though, as we had helped out around the house like making meals for
my parents or just helping out with any general home tasks. Of
course, with my parents being the best in the galaxy, they told us
not to worry about doing anything, that we should take the time to
relax as it was our shore leave after all.
But at that moment,
it was just T’Luk and me in the Jacuzzi at the back of our
house. My parents were at work, so we had the place to ourselves,
meaning that we could skinny-dip. I had done it a few times over the
years, whenever my parents were out of the house, and it was always a
great feeling. It did, however, make it really hard to concentrate on
relaxing when I knew a naked T’Luk was just metres away.
I
lay back my head and closed my eyes, surrendering to the gentle
bubbles against my skin. I was still sporting an erection, but I
vowed to let it pass, not wanting to ruin the tranquil moment I had
with T’Luk. I squinted through my right eye, looking over at my
Vulcan Prince. Like me, he was laying back and breathing gently. If
it wasn’t for the bond, I could’ve sworn that he was
asleep, but I knew he was just in a little moment of relaxation. I
concentrated on him a little more, before he lifted his head and
looked at me.
I smiled at him, “You ok, Baby?”
He
nodded, “I am fine.” He said softly, “How are
you?”
I smiled again, “I’m great. This is
great.”
“Indeed.” He replied, “It
would be very beneficial for us on the Titan.”
“Really?”
I asked, my eyes closed again, “How so?”
“We
could come back to our quarters and relax like this,
together.”
“Mmmm.” I moaned, “Yeah,
that’d be nice.”
I heard water splashing a little,
so I assumed that he was moving, a fact made evident when he came
over, straddling my waist.
I opened my eyes, looking up at
him. I watched him for a moment, before I noticed something odd. A
shiver flowed down my spine. T’Luk was smiling. He didn’t
smile. He couldn’t smile, yet he was.
I was about
to ask him what was going on, before I felt someone else stroke the
side of my face.
I woke up, finding myself seated in the
Jacuzzi, only T’Luk wasn’t straddling me, he was sitting
next to me. I jumped a little.
He cocked his head, “Are
you ok, Kai?” He asked, “You were sleeping.”
I
glanced around a little, before I nodded, “Uh, yeah.” I
replied, looking at him closely.
“You appear confused.
Did you have a troubling dream?”
I kept looking at his
face, expecting him to smile again, “Y...yeah, you could say
that.”
He nodded, “Would you like to talk about
it?”
I swallowed, gathering my thoughts, “Uh,
well, I didn’t know I fell asleep. I was just laying here and
then...” I looked at him, “It was just like this, but
you...you smiled at me.”
He thought for a moment, “That
is quite intriguing.”
“Yeah, and scary too.”
He
raised an eyebrow, “It scared you?”
I nodded,
“Yeah.” I replied, “I don’t expect you to
smile so it was really odd.”
He looked down at the
bubbling water, and then up to me, “You need not be alarmed,
Kai. I am not capable of expressing any emotion as a facial
expression.”
“Yeah, I know.” I replied,
before I swirled some water around, “It was
illogical.”
“Indeed.” He said, “Many
dreams lack logic.”
“Even yours?”
“Sometimes.”
He said, “But I was referencing that from a Human point of
view.”
“Yeah.” I replied, before I smiled,
looking at him, “The scariness aside, it did look cute
though.”
“My smile?”
I nodded, “You
have a cute smile.” I replied, “With those lovely
lips.”
He reached out and stroked my cheek, “Your
smile is nicer.” He said, “It’s natural.”
I
smiled again, before I turned my head, kissing his hand, “I
love you.”
“I love you too.”
We
shared a moment, before I looked at his hand, noting how his skin
didn’t get all wrinkly from the water, unlike mine. “I’ve
never noticed that before, T’Luk.”
“I
noticed it on you.” He said, touching the end of my finger, “I
believe it signals a good time to leave the water.”
“Yeah,
we can leave now, if you want.”
He faced me, “Whenever
you are ready, we will leave.”
We ended up staying in
the water for another ten-minutes, before we got out and headed up to
my room to dry. Seeing as my parents weren’t going to be home
for a while, we just lazed about up there in the nude. Ok, we didn’t
laze about, I wanted to give T’Luk another massage, something
that he wanted to reciprocate. That was fine, as long as I got my
hands on his dark, tanned back first!
It wasn’t just
incredible from a sexual standpoint, but from a sensual one too. To
have the lighting dimmed, some candles lit, and my fingers rubbing
some oil on T’Luk’s silky skin, it was all amazingly
intimate. Just the way I’d run my fingers across his back,
feeling his strong bones, his lean muscles below, it made me love him
even more. I massaged his whole body, including the inside. We didn’t
have the same urgency as we would when wanting to making love, so we
didn’t. But I did jerk him off, while pushing my fingers in and
out of his tender hole. It was so different to having actual sex with
him as I could actually concentrate on just him, watching how
even my slightest movement would cause him intense pleasure. Watching
him cum over his chest, and hitting the headboard with his Vulcan
brilliance was quite something too. I didn’t mind cleaning up
with my tongue on his body, but stopped on the headboard. A towel
done the job nicely there.
With T’Luk’s massage
and orgasm out of the way, it was my turn, and I have to say, it
felt...WOW, just wow! He was so skilled with his hands, with his long
fingers, that he would have had you believing that he had done it a
million times before. But he knew exactly where to press, what
to touch, to rub. It didn’t take him long at all to have me
squirming about on the sheets. He liked to tease me too. He could
sense when I was about to cum, so he backed off, waiting for the
moment to pass. I was literally about to beg him, to reach down and
release the pressure myself, but he knew the right time, and he
brought me to release. To my moment of ecstasy.
We spent the
rest of the afternoon in bed with each other. Not having any more
‘fun’, we just lay there, talking to each other, or
kissing, we done a lot of kissing too. It was so nice to lay there
and to kiss him slowly. It wasn’t like our kissing was always
frenzied, but to just kiss at that almost painfully slow pace
was really exhilarating. And we’d have these little pauses too,
where we’d look in each other’s eyes for a while, before
we began to kiss again. It was all-magical, and was so perfect.
*
Denobula- Three days later
They called him,
Kryar. It had no meaning in the Romulan language, neither did it have
any place there. It suited him perfectly. He reached up, scratching
at the prosthetics on his forehead, cursing at the pain they afforded
him. But he had to wear it. Life or death, quite literally...
He
placed down the PADD and reclined in his chair. With his eyes closed,
Kryar slipped into sleep. His ex-wife used to joke about his snoring
being heard throughout the quadrant, and on that particular night,
his piercing breathing was of no exception.
Something moved in
the room...Kryar continued to snore....the thing moved again,
standing over Kryar. It hovered there for a moment and...
...And
then an eerie silence followed, as if someone had pressed 'mute'.
*
France, Rouen
“To our brilliant,
superhuman boyfriends.” I laughed, knocking my glass against
Alex’s.
He laughed, before taking a sip from his
glass.
Three days had passed since T’Luk and I had our
little afternoon together at my home. During that time, we kept in
contact with the guys, and had managed to arrange a little get
together for those of us able to make it. Alex invited us all over to
his home in Rouen, France, where we could share dinner together.
Unfortunately, Raylis had classes to attend to, and Laura and Casey
already had plans. But the rest of us were all there and accounted
for!
Alex and I were sitting in his kitchen, looking out on
the other three on the patio outside. It was quite warm out there, so
the doors were open and some small lights were on, lighting up some
of the outdoors. The sky was nice and clear too, in fact, one of the
first things I did was race T’Luk to find the Vulcan sun the
fastest. He won, of course, but I came in a close second.
“He’s
so amazing.” He said, looking over at him through the window,
“He’s always so perfect, so kind and
everything.”
“But...” I joked.
Alex
giggled, “No buts. He’s the ‘real deal’.”
I
went to sip some of the synthehol, but paused, smiling, “I told
you.”
He looked at me, “Told me what?”
I
swallowed, “That he’d want you if you teased him with
your accent.”
Alex laughed, “He actually said that
to me, on our first ni...” He blushed, “When we first
started dating.”
I grinned at him, glancing at Trey,
before looking at Alex, “Can I ask you
something?”
“Sure.”
“It’s
about you and Trey.”
He smiled, “Shoot.”
“Well,
I know Trey senses your feeling and stuff, and you joke about him
being ‘in’ your head, but is he always in there?” I
asked.
He laughed, “No, he’s not in there all the
time, and he kinda lets me know when he is. Like I can feel his
presence.” He said, “But he does ask first, unless I’m
‘broadcasting’ that I’m open.”
“So
what, you think about Trey and then he’s in your head?”
He
nodded.
“ Cool, I have a similar thing with T’Luk,
like he can sense my emotions and stuff, and I can kinda do the same
to a degree, but we don’t know what we’re thinking,
unless we meld with each other.” I replied.
He sipped
some more of his wine, “We do have superhero
boyfriends.”
I giggled at him, “You can say that
again.”
I smiled, looking at the guys, “It’s
great, isn’t it, all of us?”
“Yeah, four
different species.”
“So much potential.”
He
laughed, “And now Kai Taylor has a philosophical moment.”
I
shook my head, “Not me, I’m not that attentive!”
He
smiled, “No, perhaps not.” He cocked his head, “You
always wanted to be a scientist, right?”
“Yep, I
always had an interest in how things worked, but only physics, you
couldn’t get me looking at a body or something!” I
replied, “What about you?”
“Yeah, I always
wanted to be a pilot.” He said, “Just what I was born to
do.” He joked.
I laughed, “Sure you were.” I
looked at him, “Are either of your parents pilots?”
“No.
My mum’s a chef and Dad does something with computers.
Algorithms and stuff.” He said, rolling his eyes.
“Hey,
I work with algorithms too...well, I get the computer to compute them
for me.”
“Hey, guys! Come out here!” Called
out H’Jan.
We stood up and headed outside, noticing that
they were looking upwards, while H’Jan was looking at a PADD,
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“Any
second now...” Said H’Jan.
I looked up into the
sky, instinctively picking out Vulcan’s sun again, before I saw
several small flashes appear. Ships were dropping out of warp, really
close to Earth too.
Alex looked over at him, “What were
those ships?”
“Task force- Alpha.” He looked
at us, “And the Titan.”
“The Titan? She’s
here?” I asked.
He nodded, “She needs to pick up
some more components from Earth, and seeing as the majority of the
crew are here, they just flew her in instead.”
“Did
she have to be towed over, with a tractor beam?”
“No,
she’s warp capable, and her hull is fully repaired. Much of the
stuff still to do is in non-essential areas.” He
replied.
“Wow, so we should be back soon?”
“About
five days.” He smiled, “The non-essential areas cover
crew quarters.”
I looked at T’Luk, “I hope
mine are on the ‘to-do’ list.”
“I do
not believe that they would have ‘missed off’ anyone’s
quarters.” He replied.
“As long as they have my
chair fixed!” Called out Alex.
Trey looked at him, “Our
chair, don’t you mean?”
“Or my warp core.”
Added H’Jan.
“We must also not forget about
Astrometrics.” Said T’Luk, looking at me, “Our
place of work.”
H’Jan lifted up his cup, “To
the Titan. In whatever state she’s in!”
We all
leaned in, tapping our cups together, “The Titan!”

Rigel V -(Rigelian Homeworld) - One day later
Of
the three, she was the only one who knew they were coming. But even
with that information, she knew there was no escape. Her mask was on
the table in front of her, along with her sidearm. She wasn’t
going to fight...she couldn’t fight. Not against them. She
started to hum to the music. The National Anthem of all things. She
hummed it over and over, until she was overcome by sleep...
A
cold, metallic object stroked her cheek, waking her from her daze.
She swallowed loudly, her breathing laboured. With the firearm placed
at the side of her head, she made no sound.
No
further sounds were heard. Except for the music. The music just kept
on playing.
