Timeline: 0800Hrs - April 6th, 2392

Division Admiral Sildra Vaxx-Warfield had recently returned from burying her long missing sister who had recently been returned to her and now, anger burning in her eyes, The close to average height Bolian female was now more or less in a permanent state of pissed off and she didn't care who knew it.

Sildra walked into the Operations Center of Starbase 12 and at the wall monitor highlighting all of the Federation ships that were close by, there were hundreds of ships of all types from battleships to carriers, from frigates to cruisers, from escorts to scouts and everything else of every size and description.

Fleet Admiral April Yamaguchi was much larger then Vaxx-Warfield herself was but she was already on duty, working at the Operations table at the center of Ops. "Admiral.. I was hoping I might find you here." Sildra said quietly to the larger woman as she approached April who had clearly only just arrived herself.

April turned to face Sildra. "Sildra. You've returned." the tall woman said in a rather flat tone of voice. "Its good to see you... Well good for you, I suspect but not good for me.." the tall female regarded the Bolian with a knowing look in her eyes.

"I need to talk to you in your office." Vaxx-Warfield responded before she let out a soft sigh.

"Yes.. I expected this." Yamaguchi rose to her feet before she went into her office, the pregnancy bump now really showing itself considering she was carrying twins. April took a seat behind her desk as she indicated the chairs on the other side. "Those aren't for decoration, please have a seat." Yamaguchi indicated the three chairs with her hands.

Vaxx-Warfield did as requested. "I'm here to request a transfer." the Bolian decided to come right out with her request right away.

"I assume that talking you out of this would be a total waste of my time and yours?" Yamaguchi inquired, the look on her face spoke volumes about her emotional state.

"More or less.. Yes Admiral. It would be." the female Bolian looked angry.

"I figured and I know where you want to go... So Let me make a few phone calls and I'll get back to you... The paperwork will need time to process but if the people I talk to go for this then I can have you sent into the field... Within a few days."

"Just like that?" Vaxx-Warfield inquired. "I almost don't believe you."

"You aren't the only one who requested a reassignment. Franklin did as well.. He stuck in his retirement paperwork and was told it was not going to be accepted even before he stuck it in due to recent events." April commented. "Franklin wants to cook good quality food, not serve in starfleet... So he's angry with good cause."

"How does that affect me?" Vaxx-Warfield inquired.

"He mentioned that you would be leaving, regardless of what I said or did... I've learned to listen to my husband when he talks to me." April explained evenly. "So I'll consider your request under advisement and I'll let you know... But Silda... Can I give you some free advice?"

"If you are going to tell me to calm down.. I will-"

"No." April responded, in a flat tone of voice. A signal that April was fast losing her patience but for Vaxx-Warfield it was already too late as April snatched up a PADD before she smashed it against her desk, shattering the PADD with a violent bang. "What the hell is your problem!" April growled softly. "You've been pissed off with everything that's crossed your path since you got back aboard the Starbase yesterday morning. You yelled at my yeoman, you snapped at your own Yeoman, then you yelled at Captain Davoust when he asked what was wrong. I know he doesn't care about being yelled at but I could tell you were pissing him off and then you went and had a go at Franklin which lead to that row between the two of you. I think you enjoyed picking all of those fights yesterday because you are so angry at the Klingons that you can't tell the difference anymore."

Vaxx-Warfield breathed in and then out quickly, taking deep breathes as she knew April was right, what was more was that April knew she was right too.

"I think you are so focused on your revenge that you don't care about who or what you hurt at this point... Something, anything to break through this miasma of rage thats enveloped you." April explained. "How'm I doing so far?" April suddenly asked with a smile on her lips.

"Umm... Closer then I'd care to admit.." Vaxx-Warfield sighed softly. "I..." the smaller Bolian let out a soft sigh.

"I was in your shoes once except for me it was the fact that I had been impregnated with Paige and Kris in a Cardassian prison camp. They were fully human and I know who their father was.. He doesn't remember me so I've not tried to contact him about it. I allowed my rage to nearly destroy everything I had worked so hard to achieve... I wasn't ready to be a mother so my father raised the kids for me for their first few years of life before he gave them back to me once I sorted myself out." Yamaguchi gave the smaller woman a long stare.
"You have to ask yourself Sildra... Is my revenge worth the cost I will pay.... and you will pay. Oh don't even argue with me.... Because you will pay and you'll pay in your own blood."

"You've made your point." Vaxx-Warfield sighed.

"Have I?" Yamaguchi inquired as she regarded the other woman with a look. "Because I need to get some work done... and you need to go and head to an unbooked holosuite and get the rage out of your system... So go on... Off you go Sildra."

Vaxx-Warfield knew she was getting off lucky with only this being said to her, the averaged sized Bolian

as April tapped the display before her. "Ops, I need to speak to Julia Antilles-Yeager. My opposite number in the Alpha Quadrant."

"Aye sir. placing your call..." and just like that, it was done.
