Timeline: 0900Hrs, December 2nd, 2391

Commander Siaxx Dvald was sitting in the ready room on the USS Tranquility, all was proceeding as it should be and her shift as master and commander of this vessel was proceeding at pace. 'So why are you sitting around being miserable?' the small Bolian asked herself.

The cat that had become a part of her little family suddenly hopped up onto her desk as Shonax meowed loudly at her while he gently nuzzled her right hand with his face.

Siaxx gently rubbed his head with her fingers while she let out a sigh. "I can't.....wait... What am I saying?" the small Bolian female asked of herself. "I know exactly whats bothering me."

The cat yawned at her as he owned his mouth wide, while Siaxx pulled open her desk drawer, she then produced some treats which she then fed to Shonax one at a time. "Hey... now now, you know how this game is played kitty."

The cat blinked at her with his large eyes while he took a swat at her hand with his claws, missing but not by much.

"You're not funny." Siaxx hesitated while he took a second swat at her with his claws before she hand fed him the last one in her hands. "Its my uncles impending death you see Kitty.... I've wanted to deal with him for so long.... Its what kept me going most days.... and now that my task will soon be done.... I'm not sure of what to do now."

The cat meowed at her as Siaxx suddenly looked down at her shirtfront as she gently ran a hand over her abdomen where her unborn child slowly developed. "I wish you were growing up in a world better then the one I had... but I hear its just as bad now if not wore then when I was a little girl growing up on Bounty." the small Bolian explained with a soft huff. "I hope your generation is able to fix the fuck ups of my generation.... I can hope right?" as she tapped the small desktop display with one of her fingers. "Bridge.. This is the Captain?"

Lieutenant Tressa Riken who was sitting in the center seat tapped the display on the armrest. "Riken here, Whats up sir?"

"Could you contact the USS Dreamcrusher for me,. I want to talk to one of her medical officers." there was a gentle pause. "Mark it as personal."

Lieutenant Sasha Zh'Theentanis nodded her head. "I'm on it sir."

"Thanks" Dvald-Sullivan responded. "Dvald-Sullivan out." as Siaxx got up and went over to the wall monitor across from her, she found she preferred the large wall units rather then the smaller displays.

The wall monitor lit up with the face of Commander Celeste Yamaguchi. "Siaxx. You look upset... Whats up?"

"Is Elizabeth Yamaguchi about??." Dvald-Sullivan responded. "She's the one I needed to talk to."

Celeste nodded as she tapped her combadge, calling the younger woman into her office, moments later a heavy pregnant Elizabeth Yamaguchi regarded Siaxx with a measure of trepidation. "Commander."

"Elizabeth." Dvald-Sullivan responded. "I'll let you two talk among yourselves." and with that Commander Yamaguchi departed her office as Elizabeth made herself comfortable. "Whats wrong Siaxx?"

"You know what revenge is... How it feels and how it tastes.."

Yamaguchi nodded. "I do... yes.. What happened?"

Siaxx launched into her tale about her uncle, what happened to her and how he violated her and then about the message she had received from the hospice not a few days earlier about her uncle wanting her to come see him before he died, as he wanted to discuss things with her.
"So... Tell me I'm just being paranoid." Siaxx finished a few minutes later.

"Nope... You have good cause to be concerned." Yamaguchi responded with a worried look on her face. "I wish I could go with you."

"You'll only place your own little one at risk.... I doubt Commander Lasky would be quite as forgiving as your mom."

"Yes well.. There is that.." Yamaguchi sighed softly. "Tread carefully Siaxx... You are being paranoid but you have good cause to be."

"You're not doing a good job of comforting me."

"Thats not why you called me Siaxx.." Elizabeth responded with a soft smile. "For consoling, you call Phoenix... for a reality check, you call me."

"You think I missed something?." Dvald-Sullivan responded.

"I do. Yes... Watch your back about him Siaxx... Do not sleep with your back to any doors... Because.. yes you do have good cause to worry."

"Alright... I'll make arrangements... I should be able to get out towards the end of the month..."

"Good.." Yamaguchi responded. "And avoid using Starfleet assets to get you there and back. You don't want to send up any red flags..."

"Good points... Okay. Thanks Elizabeth."

"Good Hunting Siaxx.... Bring Phoenix his head." as Elizabeth smiled softly.

"I'll do that.... because she's going to come with me.... You think she'll let me go through this alone?"

"Oh hell no." Yamaguchi responded evenly. "Besides.. With Phoenix on it... it'll end well... fro you that is..."

"Well... I'd best get back to my paperwork.... You know how that is... right?"

"I do. Yamaguchi out." and with that the wall monitor went black, as Dvald-Sullivan turned and slowly went back to her desk, she picked up the PADD as she went back to work.
