Kes observed them from afar, unseen. She had just emerged from a hydroponic greenhouse and found them in a panoramic bridge: they were relaxed, faces smiling, engaged in animated conversation. Kathryn laughed while the Commander grinned. Meanwhile, their bodies continued to come ever closer, they began to brush each other as casually, his hand resting on her shoulder, her hip rubbing his side. You could feel a particular tension in the air. Kes smiled, there was no need to be an Ocampa to understand that between the Captain and the Commander there was something more than just understanding between two officers in command!
