Scene: Brig, USS HOOD | |||
“Stile you frakkin bastard!” Jack Steele screamed in a mixture of rage and frustration as he tugged uselessly on the restraint that had been clamped around his wrists. He could almost accept been betrayed by the subhuman and his spineless first officer. They had clearly been out for themselves since the second they stepped aboard his warship. He had suffered Gar because alien or not he was a passable engineer who instilled enough fear in his subordinates they got the job done. He respected that. As for Merrick there wasn’t much good you could find. He was an empty uniform but still had his occasional uses. Mostly as Steele’s whipping boy. It was always good to have someone to blame unfavourable policies and general failures on. Just as it was good to have a first officer you knew didn’t have the stomach to try and take your command. He chuckled darkly at the irony of that thought. | |||
But Stile was different. He was a friend and a true Starfleet officer. He had always shown his loyalty to Steele. There friendship and been a long and mutually beneficial one. If there had been one person he knew he could rely on, an officer and friend who had his back it had been Stile Corbett. | |||
Apparently not. | |||
No matter. He always came out on top and he was sure he would this time. Granted it would not be the lofty goals he had originally planned for but there was no frakkin way he was going to step in front of a firing squad or a wallow away in some penal colony. The rules of the game may have changed for him but that didn’t mean he had to suffer. | |||
“Gene!” Steele said pleasantly. Lowl turned around to face BlackJack Steele not that he had any interest in what the parallel captain had to say but more so to make sure there were no more tricks. Steele shook his head. “Don’t worry Gene I know when I’m beaten and I’ll sit here and be a good boy. I just want you to pass a message to your captain when he gets back.” | |||
“If Captain Steele wants to hear from you he‘ll be down.” | |||
“No doubt but in the meantime can you let him no that I’d like to request asylum.” He answered matter-of-factly. | |||
“You what?” Lowl asked incredulously. | |||
“Short version of the story for your captain is that I can’t go home a failure, I’d be killed. If I’m going to stay here I want to be loyal to the uniform.” | |||
“Meaning?” | |||
“I have lots of information I can offer Starfleet.” He concluded with a predatory grin. | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Just a quick one. | |||
Respectfully, | |||
