Mission: Rescue On Romulus
Location: Forward Obversation Lounge
Timeline: Right After The Briefing

ON:

Once the briefing broke up Tara waited for Alesha to emerge from the briefing room. You got a few minutes?” Tara asked quietly as she reverted to the Amazon language

“For you, yes,” Alesha said “I figured you’d want to talk to me. This mission puts you, myself and Kristian is a hard place. Considering what the Romulans have done to our planet, your mum and how they tortured my mum until she gave in and gave them what they wanted.”

Tara nodded as they entered the forward observation lounge “I don’t want you to go into that moon and I don’t have the say on the ship to keep you away from it.” She turned to face her “They nearly killed my mum and yours was so badly hurt that all I wanted to do was kill any Romulan I saw. Yes I do as the next ruler of our world have the authority to begin the treaty talks but I’m not ready.”

Alesha took Tara’s hand and squeezed it “Only you can decide that, but for the record I’m on your side. Let your parents decide if or when they want a treaty with them. Our planet suffered a lot under the occupation; we lost a lot of lives.”

“That we did,” Tara agreed as she shuddered thinking of the memories as to what happened “Promise me Aleasha you’ll be careful. I don’t want to have to tell your mum something has happened to you. But I can’t think of anyone better to fly into those tunnels again than you.”

Alesha hugged her “I’ll be careful, I don’t know when I’m leaving but I need to meet this Nix and make sure my fighter is set and ready.”

Tara and Alesha walked from the observation lounge each going her own way. Both were scared for their own reasons. Ghosts of the past and horrors still haunted them.
