Intro

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek Voyager or any of the actors and actresses from the show. I also do not make any money from this story, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't if I tried; alas.

Rating: T, nothing too bad, a few curse words here and there when needed.

Warning: This story has a focus on a relationship between two adult women, if you don't like that or it is illegal where you live to read this sort of thing, please hit the back button now.

Failure, again…it's growing so tiresome. I've given up for all intents and purposes on ever getting home before I'm too old to enjoy it. I've already failed my given mission; the war is over. With the destruction of the Maquis, I am useless. We had something good with the Kazon…then Seska had to go and get caught. I'm proud of her though, she never whispered a word about me. She never once let on that there could even be another spy on board. Then again, she might have been trying to take all the credit for herself. Still, I could've been a good distraction, and she was smart enough to know it.

Loyalty is hard to come by these days, and is mostly bought for ungodly sums. So how do you buy the loyalty of those in Starfleet? On Voyager we don't have money, at most we trade rations, and even then it doesn't cause the ship to split. I've had to earn loyalty through hard work in my department; I've had to earn it by playing dumb and laying low in the best way possible; being in plain sight. No one has noticed me for who I am, and my cover still hasn't been blown. I continue to gather intelligence for whoever will buy it from me. Whether Cardassia will hire me back or if my unique insights will attract others; I must remain hidden.

I can not jeopardize almost ten year's worth of trust and information from the inside of Starfleet. Even if I'm not the captain of this ship, I am a senior officer and I will continue to gather.

And unlike my underling Seska, I refuse to be caught.
