*A Galaxy Dreadnought decloaks behind the Black Phantom and fires its phasers at the Black Phantom's unshielded nacelles. As the Phantom's warp drive goes offline the Dreadnought stops firing and deploys a tractorbeam. The Phantom is then hailed. The man that appears onscreen looks exactly like Kran except that he has extensive burn scars and his left eye is artificial.*
???: This is Vice Admiral Kran Su of the I.S.S. Umbra. Your ship and crew are now at the mercy of the Terran Empire! Prepare your computer core for a data transfer.
*Voporak sits quietly. After a few moments, he tries visibly to restrain himself. Unable to hold it back, he breaks out in laughter*
Voporak: Good one! You have done me two services today. I have been entertained, and I get the chance to actually use this.
*His expression turns dead cold*
You have no idea who I am. *Voporak motions once with his hand*
*The Black Phantom raises its temporal shield and makes a 180, ignoring the tractor beam*
And you have no idea what you stepped in.
*The Black Phantom's quad cannons glow a sinister dark purple and unleash one pulse each, shredding a large hole in the Umbra's saucer section and sending it spinning away*
Be glad I restrained myself.
*In a flash of anti-chronitons, the Phantom disappears*
*OOC: For the record, that is the second time I ever used the Omega particle cannons. The first time destroyed a 29th century timeship sent to capture Voporak in his jumps across the timeline.
Mirror Kran might want to think before he steps next time! *

OOC: Mirror Kran thought the Black Phantom was just another ship. One he could easily overpower.
Mirror Kran: What the hell happened? We had our shield up right?
Mirror Tort: Yes sir but they hit us with an omega particle cannon. It broke right through our shields. Frankly, if they wanted to destroy us, they very easily could have.
*Just then the prime Umbra drops out of warp in front of the mirror Umbra.*
Kran: You seem to have a knack for not dying. Tort, fire torpedoes. Make sure there is nothing left. I'm tired of killing this guy.
*The Umbra fires off fifty photon torpedoes, completely destroying its mirror.*
Kran: Tort, don't you think fifty torpedoes was a bit of overkill?
Tort: You said to make sure there was nothing left.
Kran: True but... Wow. Anyway, see if you can reopen that rift that Voporak went through.
*Menzukat is a Reman that just recently took over the position of Chief Science Officer on the Umbra.*
Menzukat: Sir, the residual particles have decayed too much for us to reopen the rift.
Kran: Hmm... Very well. Plot a course back to Earth Spa- Actually plot a course to mol'Rihan. Transwarp 20.
*As the Umbra warps away a Terran shuttle decloaks and heads for the surface of the Sphere.*

*A'Lishan: Uh, sir , it seems that, uhm, Admiral T'Vox is, uhh, dead...
D'Tan and Baroan, unison: WHAT!?
A'Lishan, afraid: It seems, uh, that his crew mutinied and killed him. He took on many of them, but in the end... The numbers where, ahh, to much for him...
Baroan, quietly: And who told you this?
A'Lishan: Centurion Da'ahn, who is now acting captain of T'Vox's ship. He and several others defeated the mutineers. It would seem that there were less of them than they thought and the late Admiral had taken out most of them. The Centurion seems to believe that the Tal'Shiar are involved...
*Most of the General and Admirals had known T'vox, and they now put their heads in their hands. D'Tan does the same, but after a while stands up.*
D'Tan: *Breath* Well, it would seem, my friends, that we have lost a true friend this day. He was a founder of this Republic, being there when we first sent out the message declaring our independance. We all knew him, were friends with him, or at least respected him. To be betrayed by his crew is unspeakable...
*He looks at Baroan*
D'Tan: Aefvriha, I want R.M.I. to investigate this.
*He looks back at the Admirals and Generals*
D'Tan: My friends, if it is the Tal'Shiar, I assure you, we will hunt down every member of that damn terrorist group, and destroy them.
*The group look around at eachother, then one general stands up and starts clapping, then an admiral, then two more generals, then soon all of them or standing and clapping. Then they start chanting*
Group: Praetor. Praetor. Praetor. Praetor! Praetor! Praetor!
*When it settles down, D'Tan looks up*
D'Tan: Alhu T'Vox u' na Rihannsu Nneikha!
Group, with Baroan, who has been quiet: Alhu T'Vox u' na Rihannsu Nneikha!

*The doors to the conference room fling open and Tol'ina rushes in. Her face is red. She had obviously been running to get here. Her voice is frantic.*

T'rex: send out a distress call. To ANY ships in range, this is the Voth ship Doctrine. Unkown warships from the future are beginning to attack us.

*As the battle rages over mol'Rihan, the Umbra drops out of warp and fires its antiproton lance straight through a D'deridex class warbird's singularity core, destroying it. A few seconds later, one hundred TSA vessels drop out of warp and take up positions evenly spaced around the planet. They work together to raise a shield around the entire planet. Back on the surface, Tol'ina stops and hands Baroan a data chip.*
Tol'ina: By now the TSA should have the Planet Bunker up. This is the shield frequency we are using. We need to eliminate any ground forces that have arrived. The Planet Bunker should keep any new ones from arriving. After that, we take back our space!
*Tol'ina pulls a hybrid plasma-disrupter sniper-rifle off her back.*
Tol'ina: I'll cover you. Lets go!

Maybe along the lines of, 'the battle destroyed most of the ships on either side, so now it's a war in the shadows' thing. Though jmaster does seem to have a habit of pulling random enemies out of his TRIBBLE, then destroying them with Tran...

Voporak: Leave nothing behind.

*Baroan and the rest had killed twenty-five Tal'Shiar so far. They had interrogated one for the whereabouts of his officer, and the rest on the way to him. They finally made it to his position. Oliah had returned half way, delivering word that the perimeter was secure and that they were advancing. The New Rihannsu Empire's (word had already gone out of the Reform) forces were pushing the enemy back, and proving themselves a formidable force. Baroan was on a ledge, overlooking the camp the Tal'Shiar General had made.*
Baroan: Tol'ina, stay here. Cover us. Geyan, you're the only one with personel cloak, I want you to go down and sneak into the Generals tent, secure him. Be careful.Oliah, you're with me. We're going the more dangerous, stealthy way.
Oliah: Yes, sir.
Geyan: Understood, Aefvriha.
Baroan: good. Move out.
*Geyan cloaks and moves toward the general's tent.

One of these finds them, engagin and calling for reinforcments. Baroan and Oliah take cover, shooting with near perfect accuracy, taking one out almost every shot. They do not notice the group sneaking up behind them*

OOC: Sorry for my absence.
*Tol'ina lies prone in some bushes. She had chosen a spot with a decent amount of foliage up on a ridge overlooking the battlefield. She lay there motionless, her rifle to her shoulder, carefully observing the movements of the Tal'Shiar troops. It had always surprised her how much a battle made since when you saw it from above. You could see the careful maneuvering of troops, the flanking maneuvers coming long before they were executed. She had learned to read troop movements almost as a sixth sense during her time as a prisoner of the Tal'Shiar. No, she mustn't think about that! She had a job to do and Baroan was getting flanked. Baroan was getting flanked! She set the crosshair on the first of the approaching Tal'Shiar with a fluidness and grace that only comes from years of battle experience. She exhaled slowly and fired. The man in her crosshair dropped dead. She moved to the next one. Soldier after soldier fell as she fired her relentless barrage of sniper fire. She would not fail her friends... Not again. No! She must not think of these things. The flanking force lay dead before her. She paused for a moment. Then she turned her rifle to the main force Baroan was fighting and began firing.*
OOC: I know this post was a bit long but I hope you like that I got more into my character's head than I have before.

He salutes, then, rather uncharacteristically, blows a kiss at her. He turns and jogs toward the Generals tent, whose guards are already dead, and walks inside. Geyan is there, with the General tied up and unconcious*
Geyan: Sir, I have secured the lhonae.
Baroan: good, get him ready to move out. Our interrogation will have to take place in a more secure location.

OOC: I hope you don't mind that I ended the battle so quickly and took a little control of Baroan. It was just so I could advance the story. Please don't be mad.:(
OOC: It's fine!:D
*Baroan takes a deep breath amd gets in*
Baroan: So where are we going?
Tol'ina: It's not about where we'er going, it's about being alone... Back at the camp... Do you feel for me Baroan?
*Baroan blinks*
Baroan, nervous: Feel for you? Uhh no, no of cou....
*He trails off, then takes a deep breath and looks out the cockpit*
Baroan, quiet: Yes, yes I do. I think I have ever since I first meet you. Not on Kitomer. That wasn't our first meeting. It was during the Diaspora, before I arrived on Virinat. We were on the same ship... We even talked together a few times... Though I was following my dad to medic training and you were doing whatever...
*He quickly realizes how stalker-ish he sounds*
Baroan, quickly: Not that I obsessed over you! I barely even remembered you before Kitomer. Not that you didn't leave an impression!
*He sighs and puts his head in his hands*
Baroan: Elements... This isn't going at all like I planned.
*He looks at Tol'ina*
Baroan: If you want me to jump out now, I will...
*Baroan blinks*
Baroan, nervous: Feel for you? Uhh no, no of cou....
*He trails off, then takes a deep breath and looks out the cockpit*
Baroan, quiet: Yes, yes I do. I think I have ever since I first meet you. Not on Kitomer. That wasn't our first meeting. It was during the Diaspora, before I arrived on Virinat. We were on the same ship... We even talked together a few times... Though I was following my dad to medic training and you were doing whatever...

Baroan: Elements... This isn't going at all like I planned.
*He looks at Tol'ina*
Baroan: If you want me to jump out now, I will...
*Tol'ina bursts into tears. Her mind flashes back to her time as a Tal'Shiar captive. The brainwashing. The pistol in her hand. The one she had loved. The smell of burnt flesh.*
Tol'ina: NO!
*She begins crying again. The fighter's autopilot takes over and lands them in a nearby grove. Baroan gets out and sits on a nearby tree stump. Tol'ina had stopped crying at this point and was staring blankly at the console in front of her. When she finally did speak her voice was shaky.*
Tol'ina: It was... It was five years ago... I was abducted by the Tal'Shiar...
*She looks straight at Baroan, tears still in her eyes.*
Tol'ina: They brainwashed me Baroan! They made me kill the people I cared about! People I loved! The person I loved! I never let myself get close to someone again. I'm scared Baroan. If I let my self love you, what will happen if they catch me again? Will they make me kill you too?
Only one thing is certain -- that is, nothing is certain. If this statement is true, it is also false. -Ancient Paradox

*Baroan stands up and moves over to her, then puts his hands on her shoulders and looks her in the eye*
Baroan: Tol'ina, I have total belief in you that there would be no chance in Areinnye that they would take you again, and if they did, I would personally track down every Tal'shiar wort in this universe and kill them slowly untill I found you. But that will never happen, because I would never allow them to take you, do you understand?
*She can see that he has tears in his eyes as well*
Baroan: But I can understand if you don't believe me, or feel that it would be best if we not talk about this...
*He smiles at her sadly*
Comments
*Voporak sits quietly. After a few moments, he tries visibly to restrain himself. Unable to hold it back, he breaks out in laughter*
Voporak: Good one! You have done me two services today. I have been entertained, and I get the chance to actually use this.
*His expression turns dead cold*
You have no idea who I am. *Voporak motions once with his hand*
*The Black Phantom raises its temporal shield and makes a 180, ignoring the tractor beam*
And you have no idea what you stepped in.
*The Black Phantom's quad cannons glow a sinister dark purple and unleash one pulse each, shredding a large hole in the Umbra's saucer section and sending it spinning away*
Be glad I restrained myself.
*In a flash of anti-chronitons, the Phantom disappears*
*OOC: For the record, that is the second time I ever used the Omega particle cannons. The first time destroyed a 29th century timeship sent to capture Voporak in his jumps across the timeline.
Mirror Kran might want to think before he steps next time!
OOC: Mirror Kran thought the Black Phantom was just another ship. One he could easily overpower.
Mirror Kran: What the hell happened? We had our shield up right?
Mirror Tort: Yes sir but they hit us with an omega particle cannon. It broke right through our shields. Frankly, if they wanted to destroy us, they very easily could have.
*Just then the prime Umbra drops out of warp in front of the mirror Umbra.*
Kran: You seem to have a knack for not dying. Tort, fire torpedoes. Make sure there is nothing left. I'm tired of killing this guy.
*The Umbra fires off fifty photon torpedoes, completely destroying its mirror.*
Kran: Tort, don't you think fifty torpedoes was a bit of overkill?
Tort: You said to make sure there was nothing left.
Kran: True but... Wow. Anyway, see if you can reopen that rift that Voporak went through.
*Menzukat is a Reman that just recently took over the position of Chief Science Officer on the Umbra.*
Menzukat: Sir, the residual particles have decayed too much for us to reopen the rift.
Kran: Hmm... Very well. Plot a course back to Earth Spa- Actually plot a course to mol'Rihan. Transwarp 20.
*As the Umbra warps away a Terran shuttle decloaks and heads for the surface of the Sphere.*
*A'Lishan: Uh, sir , it seems that, uhm, Admiral T'Vox is, uhh, dead...
D'Tan and Baroan, unison: WHAT!?
A'Lishan, afraid: It seems, uh, that his crew mutinied and killed him. He took on many of them, but in the end... The numbers where, ahh, to much for him...
Baroan, quietly: And who told you this?
A'Lishan: Centurion Da'ahn, who is now acting captain of T'Vox's ship. He and several others defeated the mutineers. It would seem that there were less of them than they thought and the late Admiral had taken out most of them. The Centurion seems to believe that the Tal'Shiar are involved...
*Most of the General and Admirals had known T'vox, and they now put their heads in their hands. D'Tan does the same, but after a while stands up.*
D'Tan: *Breath* Well, it would seem, my friends, that we have lost a true friend this day. He was a founder of this Republic, being there when we first sent out the message declaring our independance. We all knew him, were friends with him, or at least respected him. To be betrayed by his crew is unspeakable...
*He looks at Baroan*
D'Tan: Aefvriha, I want R.M.I. to investigate this.
*He looks back at the Admirals and Generals*
D'Tan: My friends, if it is the Tal'Shiar, I assure you, we will hunt down every member of that damn terrorist group, and destroy them.
*The group look around at eachother, then one general stands up and starts clapping, then an admiral, then two more generals, then soon all of them or standing and clapping. Then they start chanting*
Group: Praetor. Praetor. Praetor. Praetor! Praetor! Praetor!
*When it settles down, D'Tan looks up*
D'Tan: Alhu T'Vox u' na Rihannsu Nneikha!
Group, with Baroan, who has been quiet: Alhu T'Vox u' na Rihannsu Nneikha!
OOC: And so starts the Romulan Star Empire again. :cool:
*The doors to the conference room fling open and Tol'ina rushes in. Her face is red. She had obviously been running to get here. Her voice is frantic.*
Tol'ina: Sir the- *gasp* Sir the Tal'Shiar are here! They'er killing everyone, even the civilians! And... And Sela is with them!
Baroan: D'Tan, stay here. You lot protect him.
*He starts for the door*
Baroan: Let's see if I can kill this b**** Empress...
OOC: Sela isn't going to die this time, I'm going to save that for the new character. Though Baroan is going to fight her.
Tran: First Commander, can you please tell me the latest report in Republic space?
Commander Dran: Yees sir. It appears Admiral T'vox was killed.
Tran: Well, there goes my oppurtunity.
Voth warship Doctrine (V.W. Doctrine)
Admiral T'rex: Helm, take us to Joint Command. Tell them we need assisstance.
Sensors officer Bronto: Sir, we're detecting massive chroniton readings. Sir, a temporal anomaly is opening. I'm detecting 350 extremely advanced warships. They have unknown life-signs.
T'rex: send out a distress call. To ANY ships in range, this is the Voth ship Doctrine. Unkown warships from the future are beginning to attack us.
*The message repeats*
OOC: Kuntel, that chanting and D'tan talking about destroying the tal Shiar, then bringing an EMpire back, reminds me of the SW Prequels
*As the battle rages over mol'Rihan, the Umbra drops out of warp and fires its antiproton lance straight through a D'deridex class warbird's singularity core, destroying it. A few seconds later, one hundred TSA vessels drop out of warp and take up positions evenly spaced around the planet. They work together to raise a shield around the entire planet. Back on the surface, Tol'ina stops and hands Baroan a data chip.*
Tol'ina: By now the TSA should have the Planet Bunker up. This is the shield frequency we are using. We need to eliminate any ground forces that have arrived. The Planet Bunker should keep any new ones from arriving. After that, we take back our space!
*Tol'ina pulls a hybrid plasma-disrupter sniper-rifle off her back.*
Tol'ina: I'll cover you. Lets go!
Baroan: This might take a while! Oliah, go find a commanding officer! I want a perimeter secured around this building! Tol'ina, Geyan, you're with me. We're going to try to find a ranking Tal'Shiar officer and get Sela's whereabouts!
*Oliah moves off, and Baroan hops over the rubble, moving from cover to cover to the front lines.*
Voporak: How many ships did you detect?
Omet'etan: 350, sir. Extremely advanced.
Voporak: Do I smell timeline corruption?
Omet'etan: Most likely.
Voporak: We should stop this.
Omet'etan: Yes, let's.
Voporak: All the silliness ends now.
Omet'etan: We need to preserve the timeline at all costs.
Voporak: Set course for those ships.
Omet'etan: Weapons on standby.
Voporak: Obliteration?
Omet'etan: Annihilation.
Voporak: I like it.
Omet'etan: Victory is life.
Voporak: Engage.
*The Black Phantom jumps to the battle and begins circling it, cloaked.*
*OOC: I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that, the cycle will go on and useless war and power creep will continue unless I stop all of it here. Unless that's what you all really want... just more war and nonsense (in my opinion). Otherwise, I can and will blow the hell out of all of it.*
*OOC: I'm referring more to those random ships that came out of a temporal TRIBBLE.*
OOC: also, yeah, let's blow it up. Then, we could have some peace between the Voth and Joint Command.
Voporak: Kill them all.
*Omet'etan taps commands into the tactical console, and moves his hand over a large button in the center. Voporak nods without looking back, and Omet'etan inputs the sequence.*
*The Black Phantom decloaks, Omega cannons firing full force. Mysterious ship after mysterious ship it tears apart, purple pulses and silver torpedoes flying everywhere.*
Voporak: Leave nothing behind.
*The relatively tiny vessel speeds through the mass of ships, wrecking them as it flies by. As the debris itself is destroyed, one ship remains, drifting from an Omega impact*
Wait. Send them a torpedo, and write on it: Don't 'F' with the Voporak.
*The final torpedo finishes the job.*
Now let's get out of here. Warp 9.
*The Black Phantom jumps to warp as it cloaks.*
*OOC: Anything else I need to clean up?*
OOC: Kuntel, is it alright if I make some Reman assassain?
Obijen: Whoever is there, are you friendly?
*he grabbed the gun, and a pitifull excuse for a being began charging at him. With a butter knife. Obijen grabbed the knife, and twisted back the things arm. The thing screamed. He pressed commlink*
Obijen: this is Obijen to security. Please come down here immediatly. Obijen out.
OOC: Obijen is gonna conduct an interrogation, using extremely painful and brutal measures. He then should be a rival of Baroan, but lead Baroan to where Sela is hiding, and asisst him. He's Reman, as well, and an assassain/ interrogater, he's also ruthless.
*Baroan and the rest had killed twenty-five Tal'Shiar so far. They had interrogated one for the whereabouts of his officer, and the rest on the way to him. They finally made it to his position. Oliah had returned half way, delivering word that the perimeter was secure and that they were advancing. The New Rihannsu Empire's (word had already gone out of the Reform) forces were pushing the enemy back, and proving themselves a formidable force. Baroan was on a ledge, overlooking the camp the Tal'Shiar General had made.*
Baroan: Tol'ina, stay here. Cover us. Geyan, you're the only one with personel cloak, I want you to go down and sneak into the Generals tent, secure him. Be careful.Oliah, you're with me. We're going the more dangerous, stealthy way.
Oliah: Yes, sir.
Geyan: Understood, Aefvriha.
Baroan: good. Move out.
*Geyan cloaks and moves toward the general's tent. Baroan and Oliah make their way down to the edge of the camp. they move as quietly as possible, killing and with kaleh and hhotaer, completely merciless. soon, the Tal'Shiar catch on, and organize a search. One of these finds them, engagin and calling for reinforcments. Baroan and Oliah take cover, shooting with near perfect accuracy, taking one out almost every shot. They do not notice the group sneaking up behind them*
OOC: Tol'ina's time to shine...
OOC: Sorry for my absence.
*Tol'ina lies prone in some bushes. She had chosen a spot with a decent amount of foliage up on a ridge overlooking the battlefield. She lay there motionless, her rifle to her shoulder, carefully observing the movements of the Tal'Shiar troops. It had always surprised her how much a battle made since when you saw it from above. You could see the careful maneuvering of troops, the flanking maneuvers coming long before they were executed. She had learned to read troop movements almost as a sixth sense during her time as a prisoner of the Tal'Shiar. No, she mustn't think about that! She had a job to do and Baroan was getting flanked. Baroan was getting flanked! She set the crosshair on the first of the approaching Tal'Shiar with a fluidness and grace that only comes from years of battle experience. She exhaled slowly and fired. The man in her crosshair dropped dead. She moved to the next one. Soldier after soldier fell as she fired her relentless barrage of sniper fire. She would not fail her friends... Not again. No! She must not think of these things. The flanking force lay dead before her. She paused for a moment. Then she turned her rifle to the main force Baroan was fighting and began firing.*
OOC: I know this post was a bit long but I hope you like that I got more into my character's head than I have before.
Geyan: Sir, I have secured the lhonae.
Baroan: good, get him ready to move out. Our interrogation will have to take place in a more secure location.
Geyan: Sir?
Baroan: We were found out. A search party was sent out, and now that we killed it, they'll send more.
Geyan: Well then sir, where to now?
Oliah: I would say up the ridge, pick up Tol'ina and down to the most foward base they have with a seperate room.
Baroan: Just what I was thinking. Lets go.
*Geyan picks up the General with his Borg enhanced strength, and walked out the way he came. They followed, up the cliff to Tol'ina.*
Baroan: So, Tol'ina, whats the situation?
OOC: Long posts are fine, as you can see, I'm rather fond of them myself. You can write from Tol'ina's perspective before they picked up the General, get her reaction to Baroan's kiss maybe?
*Tol'ina raises an eyebrow when Baroan blows a kiss at her.*
Tol'ina: Did he mean that? Or is he just trying to unnerve me?
*Baroan and the others walk up the cliff to Tol'ina. When Baroan asks Tol'ina for a report, she gets up and dusts herself off.*
Tol'ina: Everything's fine up here. You should probably watch your back more.
*Everyone begins heading off but before Baroan can leave Tol'ina steps on his foot. He tries to pull away but Tol'ina holds him firmly in place. She looks Baroan straight in the eyes.*
Tol'ina: What was that?
*She points to the destroyed camp.*
Baroan, nervous: My way of, uhh, saying thank you?
*He gives her an embarresed, can-we-talk-about-this-later? look*
*Tol'ina narows her eyes but lets Baroan go.*
Tol'ina: We will be talking about this later. In the mean time, I think I'll have some fun.
*She taps a command into her tricorder and a scorpion fighter descends and lands next to her. She smiles, jumps in and takes off before anyone has time to react. Almost immediately after Baroan is hailed by the Umbra.*
Kran: Baroan, the battle up here is just about finished. Sela has already fled. All that's left is to clean up any Tal'Shiar still on the planet. Were ready to provide orbital bombardment if you will designate targets for us.
Baroan: I think we'll have some points for you soon. Give us a minute, Kran.
*He looks at his team*
Baroan: Let's move to central command.
*As they move out, Baroan looks up at the sky, where he can see the trail Tol'ina left in the sky.*
Baroan, quiet so none can hear him: I think I'm in love...
*He then starts jogging to CC*
OOC: This is getting interesting.:D
*Baroan arrives at CC and begins designating targets for Kran. A few hours later, the Tal'Shiar presence has be completely removed from mol'Rihan. Baroan is walking outside the command center when Tol'ina lands in front of him and opens the cockpit of her fighter. She points to the back seat of the fighter.*
Tol'ina: Get in.
OOC: I hope you don't mind that I ended the battle so quickly and took a little control of Baroan. It was just so I could advance the story. Please don't be mad.:(
*Baroan takes a deep breath amd gets in*
Baroan: So where are we going?
*Tol'ina closes the cockpit and takes off.*
Tol'ina: It's not about where we'er going, it's about being alone... Back at the camp... Do you feel for me Baroan?
Baroan, nervous: Feel for you? Uhh no, no of cou....
*He trails off, then takes a deep breath and looks out the cockpit*
Baroan, quiet: Yes, yes I do. I think I have ever since I first meet you. Not on Kitomer. That wasn't our first meeting. It was during the Diaspora, before I arrived on Virinat. We were on the same ship... We even talked together a few times... Though I was following my dad to medic training and you were doing whatever...

Baroan, quickly: Not that I obsessed over you! I barely even remembered you before Kitomer. Not that you didn't leave an impression!
*He sighs and puts his head in his hands*
Baroan: Elements... This isn't going at all like I planned.
*He looks at Tol'ina*
Baroan: If you want me to jump out now, I will...
*Tol'ina bursts into tears. Her mind flashes back to her time as a Tal'Shiar captive. The brainwashing. The pistol in her hand. The one she had loved. The smell of burnt flesh.*
Tol'ina: NO!
*She begins crying again. The fighter's autopilot takes over and lands them in a nearby grove. Baroan gets out and sits on a nearby tree stump. Tol'ina had stopped crying at this point and was staring blankly at the console in front of her. When she finally did speak her voice was shaky.*
Tol'ina: It was... It was five years ago... I was abducted by the Tal'Shiar...
*She looks straight at Baroan, tears still in her eyes.*
Tol'ina: They brainwashed me Baroan! They made me kill the people I cared about! People I loved! The person I loved! I never let myself get close to someone again. I'm scared Baroan. If I let my self love you, what will happen if they catch me again? Will they make me kill you too?
Baroan: Tol'ina, I have total belief in you that there would be no chance in Areinnye that they would take you again, and if they did, I would personally track down every Tal'shiar wort in this universe and kill them slowly untill I found you. But that will never happen, because I would never allow them to take you, do you understand?
