The USS Sigmar moved through space at warp nine towards Starbase 621 to investigate why a federation transport ship just vanished. Nivek looked out his room window at the distant stars moving quickly past his window. He returned his gaze to his terminal. On the screen was a picture of his father Sakkhet. Nivek scanned the screen of his fathers service record. A tear formed in his eye when he read Died on board the USS Bonestell at Wolf 359. That was nearly fourteen years ago and the pain was still fresh in Nivek's heart
Just then Nivek's door chimed.
"Enter" said Nivek
T'Amerly the ships counselor was standing in the doorway.
"I thought you could use some company" said T'Amerly.
Nivek motioned with his hand to the empty chair across from him. The beautiful half Vulcan half Human female walked across the room to the empty seat. She was wearing her casual uniform that clung tight to her body showing off her beautiful slim figure. She was simply breath taking and till this moment Nivek never really realized it.
"You look beautiful Counselor" said Nivek.
"Please, I'm off duty, you can call me Em" she said with a wink
"Can I get you something to drink" asked Nivek
"A spiced tea would be nice" she replied
Nivek walked over to the replicator and said "Two Vulcan spiced teas, hot"
The replicator chimed in response to the command and replicated the two beverages. Nivek picked them up and walked over to his desk holding one out for T'Amerly. She took it in her small smooth hands and placed the cup to her lips and sipped.
"mmmm, that hit's the spot" she said
Nivek smiled and sipped his as well.
"So what's on your mind" asked Nivek
"I have been thinking about you a lot recently and I had to come down here to see you" she said.
Nivek blushed a little and asked "What were you thinking about"
"I think I have grown to like you and I can't help it anymore" she said
Nivek probably had a look on his face that probably looked ridiculous because he was dumbfounded.
"Oh, I wasn't expecting that" said Nivek
"I know you loved Amanda and losing her must have been tough, and I know I am throwing this on you suddenly but like I said I can't help it anymore" she said
She hung her head as if she was ashamed of what she was saying.
Nivek got up from his seat and moved behind her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them. He has been told before he was great at massages and smiled as T'Amerly seemed to be enjoying her massage. She stood up and turned to look him in the face and moved in to kiss him. For what seemed like an eternity they kissed and when they broke they just stared at each other both at a loss for words. Nivek pulled her closer to his body and kissed her again. They moved to the bed and fell on top of it. Both couldn't help but to let out a laugh.
