Fleet Captain Siaxx Dvald-Vaxx managed to make it ten feet outside of Lasky's office as she moved to one side, she gently tapped the long black strip which ran down the sides of the various hallways. "C-computer-" the small Bolian stammered as she tried to speak. "Locate... Rachael Yamaguchi-Cullen.?"

The response was quick, simple and downright easy to follow. "1st Lieutenant Yamaguchi-Cullen is in the quarters assigned to Captain Rachael Yamaguchi." the computer responded evenly.

"Is she alone?" Dvald-Vaxx did not wish to interrupt her if she was asleep or busy with her grandmother. She wanted to talk to someone who could advise her on what to do next regarding this issue with Lasky. "What's she doing.?" the small Bolian inquired a moment later.

"Affirmative. She is alone." the computer answered. "She is presently doing paperwork." the computer added as Dvald-Vaxx turned right and set off for her destination, she passed through a turbolift and sixteen hallways to reach her destination but she knocked on the door, the door parted as Yamaguchi-Cullen regarded her in silence before she took the Bolian's hand and almost pulled her into her home. The door slid closed behind her.

"What did he say to you?" Yamaguchi-Cullen inquired as she led the small Bolian over to her living area. "Siaxx... Don't bother to deny that you and Lasky said words... I can see it in your eyes..." Yamaguchi-Cullen explained her perspective on the matter in plain and simple terms.

"He said that peace was a waste of time between us, we've never known it and nor shall we... He also thinks that I think of him as a sexual predator where the ladies of your family are concerned."

From Yamaguchi-Cullen's perspective, this effort had had the worst possible result, as the younger woman facepalmed. "Fuck, I thought you two had a chance..." she sighed loudly. "Dammmit," she added quietly. "Did you actually say that to him... the part of being a predator?" as she sincerely hoped that Siaxx had not been that stupid.

"No, he said it... The shock of it numbed me and he took my silence as confirmation that he was right... I didn't know what to say on the matter." the small Bolian explained. "I've never said that..."

"No... But you did not hide how you felt... First, it was me being bedded by Paul Harrison... Officially, it was statutory rape because he was nineteen and I was fourteen at the time of my becoming pregnant with Saki... I didn't wish to rush things and neither did Paul, he was gentle with me and it was only because his mother decided not to keep in touch, that we lost contact with each other... " Yamaguchi-Cullen explained. "I didn't press as it would cause both of us so much drama that I'd never heard the end of it... Besides, I was the one who initiated it. Mom supported my choice, she knew what I was doing before I knew it." Yamaguchi-Cullen added in an even tone of voice.

"You don't see yourself as a victim... Do you?" Dvald-Vaxx inquired softly.

"No." Yamaguchi-Cullen slowly shook her head. "I enjoyed the sex... He was gentle and he made sure I got my rocks off before he did... He was no expert mind you but he was also not interested in his own pleasure, he wanted to make sure I enjoyed it." she regarded the small Bolian before her. "But you held it against him..." Yamaguchi-Cullen regarded the other woman in silence for a moment.

"I... I did." Dvald-Vaxx paused as she realized her mistake. "Then we were all assigned to the Roanoke... and I transferred those feelings to Lasky after he bedded both your mom and Elizabeth in quick succession." the small Bolian commented softly "Then there was the first peeves incident did to me. I ended up getting pinned and fucked by Jacen Saint and then by Sergent Major Duval..." she sighed. "Then he bedded Torilla and he impregnated her."

"Siaxx, you're overthinking it... Mom moved on him. What happened with Elizabeth was outside of his control." Yamaguchi-Cullen commented. "Lasky is no predator, he's not tried to mate with me... or with Grandma Rachael, she and I discussed the matter of what would happen if Lasky made a move on either of us."

"Wait... You discussed it?" Dvald-Vaxx sounded confused. "Why?"

"Because I like to be prepared. My sister slept with him thanks to Peeves and mom because she was pissed off." Yamaguchi-Cullen explained. "Grandma Rachael isn't amused..." the younger woman explained. "Do you want me to try with him..." Yamaguchi-Cullen knew she was wasting her time as soon as the words came out of her mouth. "Well... I only just got that issue sorted out between him and me and the second issue that nobody knew about was also resolved as well." she sighed. "He might not even give me the time of day, because of my relationship to you." she regarded the small Bolian female. "But I'll try..." as she pulled a PADD to her, she quickly jotted down a message before she sent it off to its destination.

"You're not going to go and say it to his face?" Dvald-Vaxx inquired.

"No," Yamaguchi-Cullen answered. "Email works just as well and I'll get a response in a tenth of the time." as the PADD beeped once at her. "Wow... That was fast... and predictable." Yamaguchi-Cullen let out a deep sigh. "Fuck... He is not interested in peace as Siaxx has shown herself to be untrustworthy in his eyes." Yamaguchi-Cullen read from the PADD. "Well... Shit..." as she brushed a hand through the bangs of her hair, a sign she was getting frustrated.
"We need a new plan... Elizabeth will only make things worse, mom's not available and I doubt Dad will help."

"I can talk to Celeste... and see what she says," Dvald-Vaxx commented. "Also, Chen is busy not doing anything..."

"Alright," Yamaguchi-Cullen answered. "I'd rather leave Plataea out of it until we are sure she is needed. She's heavily pregnant and I want her left out of this..." she paused. "Chen, however, he will be of use to us."

"Agreed," Dvald-Vaxx answered.
