==[ORIGNIS] USS HOOD: Bait== | |||
===by Scott Lusby=== | |||
SD: 2260.364 | |||
MD: Shortly after the events of "Conundrum" and "Confession is Good For the | |||
Soul" | |||
Setting: Small Hotel, New Detroit, Arcturus | |||
Gar Th'elenth closed the door behind him and strode down the dingy hallway. | |||
He needed to think things through, and for that he needed to be alone. | |||
There were several things he could not wrap his head around in this mess- | |||
for one, why would the Federation want to offer a guy like Sahen asylum, | |||
given its own horrific experiences with genetic engineering in the past, if | |||
they didn't want to MAKE use of his talents? Could they REALLY be looking | |||
to reopen that Pandora's box under the arrogant assumption that they "know | |||
better" now? | |||
"Apparently Augments aren't the only ones whose arrogance gets in the way," | |||
he muttered as he pressed a button on the elevator. | |||
But those thoughts, at this moment, were taking a back seat to those | |||
concerning one Avae Zh'sharav. | |||
He was stunned when she walked into their hotel room earlier that day- | |||
something he tried his best to hide from the Captain and DeSimms, though he | |||
didn't know if he'd been entirely successful at that. And she was as | |||
beautiful as he remembered... | |||
He was not surprised that she was Am-Tal, however: her connection with the | |||
culture of home ran deeper than in him. | |||
And so, as he stepped from the elevator and into what passed for a lobby, he | |||
understood why the Am-Tal- and Avae in particular was here: they were doing | |||
what someone, somewhere SHOULD have done sooner: put a phaser blast between | |||
his eyes and be done with it. Though he wasn't quite as fervent a believer | |||
as Avae had been, he didn't like the idea of 'Augments.' It was unnatural, | |||
and that was the end of it for him. | |||
"Gar," a familiar voice said from behind a pillar. | |||
He did not need to turn around to know who it was. | |||
"Avae," he said, trying to keep his tone even and controlled. | |||
She stepped from behind the pillar, and crossed the distance between them | |||
slowly. "It has been a long time," she said, her voice almost a whisper. | |||
Gar breathed deeply as she stepped inside his personal space. "I know what | |||
you plan to do, Avae," he said. | |||
Zh'sharav stopped. "Then you know who- what- Sahen is?' | |||
"I do- and so does Captain Steele," Gar affirmed. | |||
Now, the Am-Tal agent stepped so close to Gar that light could hardly | |||
squeeze between them. She looked him straight in the eye. "Then help me | |||
rid the galaxy of his kind," she said, wrapping her arms around him and | |||
drawing him in tightly. | |||
Gar said nothing; his arms, limp for a moment, slowly found their way around | |||
her lithe form and, eventually, enveloped her. | |||
He closed his eyes, and breathed her in deeply. | |||
"I have missed you," he said softly. | |||
<<NRPG>> | |||
...and that's for Steve's post. More CD...and giving Gar a moral dilemma to | |||
deal with as well as a little emotional tension. I think Steele's got one | |||
now too, as to whether we should follow our orders or not. | |||
Respectfully Submitted, | |||
