*They take her by the arms and take her away... her head bagged and she is gagged.. *
*OOC: I will let you handle it from here.. *
*She is dragged into a small interrogation room and the bag and gag are removed as she is thrown into an agony booth.*
M. Tara: Really? You bagged me? C'mon, Bright, I know my way around this ship. I'd have found my way back no matter what.
*A guard knocks the stock of his rifle into her gut, sending her into the back of the booth before the glass door shuts. The booth operator turns to M. Bright.*

Operator: Ready, sir.
Inquisitor Bright: Alright Admiral your show.. for now.
M.Terry: *Sitting there in the cell with him.. smiling calmly.. *
You know those bases were the start your ship yards also along with all your ships and allies.. Today I settle accounts. I kept you around because you played to my little tune just well.. But you know what gave you away..
M. Sia did...
So did the Naibs.. You would be amazed how quickly they turned you over and your friends. Silger himself was especially compliant considering he has to protect his niece..
Inquisitor Bright: Alright Admiral your show.. for now.
*M. Matt walks over from the Shadows.*
M. Matt: Leave us.
*After they leave, he opens the booth and steps in, kneeling down next to M. Tara, who doesn't look at him.*
Is this your way of getting revenge on me?
M. Tara: Don't flatter yourself. Even if it was, you deserve it!
M. Matt: Tara, I loved your mother. You have no idea what I went through when she died.
M. Tara *angry*: You mean when you murdered her! And you obviously didn't care enough to keep me and Dani around! You just shoved us on the Emperor's Sister for a few months!
M. Matt: You were both angry; I could see that you were taking different sides and I didn't want to inflame things by letting you see me go through that.
M. Tara *angry*: What do you want from me?
M. Matt: Tara, I don't know what Sam told you, but joining the rebels isn't the way to make anything change.
M. Tara: Shut up. I'm not a baby anymore, admiral. You know something? I was part of the rebellion before you had Mom killed. I didn't join because you killed her, I joined because I was tired of being a third-class citizen.
M. Matt: What are you talking about?
M. Tara: Think! I'm part-Trill, part-Terran! Every Terran I ever meet either treats me like a targ or looks at me like I'm filth! Worse, my Terran side means even non-Terrans hate me! Your Emperor is ruling over a society built on hatred!
*M. Matt remains silent.*
Dad... He's insane. Racial division is the reason the First Terran Empire fell apart, and after the Alliance, the Rebels swore they'd never let that happen again.
That's what Mom wanted; to stop slavery altogether; no Terran slaves, no Alien slaves. And no worshipping a madman who thinks he's a God!
*M. Matt snaps to look at her.*
You know I'm right.
M. Matt: Tara, he's going to execute you unless you defect back!
M. Tara: And if I do, he'll kill my people.
M. Matt: Tara--!
M. Tara: And before you say 'they don't matter, they're only aliens', SO AM I!
M. Matt: I wasn't...
*He takes her hand.*
You're my daughter...
M. Tara: I killed your daughter...
M. Matt: Tara... Dani's alive.
*M. Tara lightens up a little.*
I might be able to sneak you off the Enterprise.
M. Tara: My people?
M. Matt: Too many.
M. Tara: Dad.
*M. Matt sighs.*
I won't abandon them.
Get me an audience with the Emperor. Tell him I'm prepared to face execution, but I want to speak with him first.
M. Matt: Tara--
M. Tara: Please...
*He smiles weakly, holding her chin up.*
M. Matt: You're so like her...
*He stands up, walking out and turning to Bright.*
She wants an audience with the Emperor before her execution.
M.Terry: *Sitting there in the cell with him.. smiling calmly.. *

*M. Persi smiles back at M. Terry, playing his game. He leans against a wall.*
M. Persi: Hah, my friend, you think you've won. You gloat in my face while the world crumbles around me, yes?
*He laughs.*
M. Persi: You may have the power of a 'god', but you're pitiful. You're a cruel, vindictive, ambitious man that has nothing better to do.
*After they leave, he opens the booth and steps in, kneeling down next to M. Tara, who doesn't look at him.*

I feel sorry for you...
M.Terry: Gloat.. Please.. I have no use for that. I came here because our game has ended.. Your attack fleet has been found and destroyed. Your allies found and well.
*He turns on the monitor. There are hanging dead on the gallows.. all known to him. *
The only thing I come and do is to collect my winnings.. and your debt to me..

*M. Persi smiles at her.*
M. Persi: Stay strong, baby. I love you.
*She closes her eyes and smiles slightly, turning a little so he can see her face.*
M. Tara *quietly*: Kal drenoni...
*She turns back, looking at M. Bright defiantly.*
If you're going to kill me, do it. There's nothing you can do to me anymore that'll make me talk.

*He starts pacing the cell, working out his muscles, waiting for something...*
Inquisitor Bright: Alright Admiral your show.. for now.
*Another grumbles.. *
POW: Fool.. You can't fool a god with that pathetic thinking. He knows your move before you make it.
Why do you think he allowed you to live for this long.. You amuse him with your games and when he tires of you he kills you.
He found our bases because he knew and allowed it.
Terry: Well there is a hot tub.. and everyone else is away..
