Lt Commander Autumn Yamaguchi smiled as she went down the hallway, she was only 5'1 in height and as such was not a very distinguished in terms of size and stature, she looked left down the next hallway to her left as she turned down that same corridor. The hallways were empty on this level as a good chunk of the crew were not present aboard ship which suited Autumn just fine.

The turbolift doors opened before her as a large Caitian male stepped forward as if conjured out of her past,, her peered down at her. "Well.....Helloo... my little pretty.."

Yamaguchi skidded to a halt as she slowly backed up against the back of the corridor which was originally off to her right, now behind her as R'Merah smiled. "You remember the fun-"

"Shut your trap.." Autumn whispered, rage clouding her tone, dark and bitter.

"Aww.." the Caitian smirked down at her. "You enjoyed it as much as I-" was as far as he got before she hauled off and smashed her small fist into his snout, he felt a loud painful crack from the impact but the one that was telling was the second impact with his head impacting the corridor wall behind him. "Why Autumn, I had no idea you cared..." he said in an encouraging tone. "Flirting with me..." before she drove her genetically augmented fist into his stomach area, the wind leaving his chest as he dropped to his knees. "I have nothing I'd like to say to you... other then I want nothing whatsoever to do... with you....."

"You're just playing hard to get..." The massive Caitian responded as he peered down at her.

"Had you pulled that stunt on the Hurgh'maS here. I'd have your ass for sexual assault.." Autumn growled ever so softly. "But you already have my .... ahem... body parts.... " she sighed while she scowled up at him. "must you?"

"You agreed to it." before he slapped his claws and paws against a rather sensitive part of Autumn's anatomy.

"No... actually I did not." Autumn responded, a soft growl in her throat. "You.... are loyal to nobody but yourself... How the hell did you swing this assignment?" she inquired as she looked down at his hand between her legs. "Do you mind?"

"Just lucky.." he gave her a goofy grin which only served to antagonize her even more then she was already as she gave him a look of disbelief. "A likely story... I suspect... you were fucking someone who was in a potion of influence."

R'Merah hissed before he took a swipe at her with his claws. "Ahh... I struck a nerve." as she evaded his first swing and then parried his second while she moved backwards before she hauled off and attacked him. "You're mine!"

She drove her fist into his guy when she hauled off with her right leg, both impacts brought him to his knees then she leap over his prone body, while she did that, she executed a perfect spin-twist in midair before landing on her feet, behind him, also she faced him as she quickly wrapped one arm around his neck as she grabbed ahold of his head with her other hand, placing him in a perfect hangman's move. "Give me one excuse.... please... so I can terminate you're worthless ass.." Yamaguchi hissed in his ear.

Lieutenant Ajal approached her nemesis. "Don't do it Autumn." she said quietly, her dark eyes seeking those of the downed Caitian and once she locked onto his, she experienced a moment of tova'dok with him, she drank in his cowardice and his fear. The Klingon female found that the Caitian reeked of fear as Autumn simply held him just moments from death before Ajal shifted her gave to meet Autumn's gaze.

What she found she did not expect. She quickly realized that Autumn was afraid, fearful of the past repeating itself here on this assignment as it had taken place once before on the IKS Hurgh'maS but Ajal knew that only Autumn could cast out her own fear and disgrace at feeling said shame.

Now she had and it had cost him his honor but it would soon cost her dearly as well. "Autumn, you have reclaimed your honor... there is no need to terminate his existence.."

"Why.." Yamaguchi whispered. "I would be doing the universe a favor."

"No, you would not... for your culture does not permit you to take your honor at the cost of his life, you would pay most dearly for it... and... It is not worthy of you."

"You don't know what this vile bastard did to me.."

"I know exactly what he did to you.... as I looked into the matter after you departed the Hugh'maS and I challenged him for you're honor... he beat me and then ..... I had to train to overcome my weaknesses... Do not do this act Autumn Yamaguchi... He is beaten.."

"Yes.." and with that Autumn let him go, he inhaled as he slowly tried to get up before he limped and staggered away. Leaving Ajal and Autumn standing alone in the hallway. "Autumn." Ajal regarded the smaller woman before her. "We should go.. I have an hour of holosuite time and ... I thought we could indulge playing some baseball... I recall you spending time at bat hitting balls as a stress reliever..I brought you're old program with me.."

Autumn slowly smiled. "Okay.." she paused. "I hate him... for what he did to me.... and what he did to you."

"Oh he did not violate me, he only beat me... for which... I am grateful." Ajal paused. "He did not see me the way he saw you. He saw you as a prize and me as a threat." she paused a second time. "I have since worked at it, I will teach you what I know... but.. only if you give me your solemn pledge that you will only use it for defense... and not for attack.."

Yamaguchi knew better then to argue with any Klingon woman, let alone the one standing before her. "My word is so given."

Ajal regarded the smaller human, she knew that within her beat the heart of a most worthy warrior rather then a small and weakling human which most of her kind tended to be. "Very well... Then tomorrow. I will start my classes with you, first you must re-read the art of war... I will teach you from that precept first... then I will train you in mok'bara."

"I look forward to it." Yamaguchi responded, as the two women departed the scene of the battle together.

Meanwhile R'Merah went into the security section, he went to his work station before he called up the footage in question and he quietly arranged it so the information in question was erased thanks to a computer error. He adjusted the time-stamp from an earlier section of footage in its place as he quickly switched the information, before he had the second data disk, the one with the rather incriminating footage erased before he recycled the data disk itself. After a few minutes of checking then double checking his work he was satisfied that his ass was covered. He also resolved to behave himself going forward because he knew the Federation took a dim view of his loyalties so he could not drew any more attention to himself.
