Little bit of an emotional moment between T'Kira and Reddy, please enjoy.

Part 12: Emotions (Conclusion)

An hour into official command and Reddy was regretting it. Already had Elisa bailed out and claimed that she was his Tactical Officer and had the duty of filling out forms for her department, not the Command stations. That left T'Kira to help him, who accepted the position of Second Officer without a second thought and was soon in his quarters signing papers. Well, they weren't his quarter, formerly Captain Taggerts, they were the Captain's and Taggert hadn't even looked at them before he died. Unlike Chillingsworth, Walker's quarters were either slightly bigger, or held two or more officers. The quarters on his old ship were about the size of a bathroom in the Picard Building at the Academy, here he had two separate rooms, one with a table and plenty of seating adjacent to his bedroom and refresher. The table turned out to be the right place to sit and fill out forms.

T'Kira wasn't like most Vulcan, in many ways. For one, her skin was darker, signature of obvious tanning, and her voice was softer and she had shown more emotion than most. She seemed soft, yet now she had the air of the regular Vulcan, and even sometimes understanding, he had seen this when she had comforted T'Vrell, after. . .

Reddy had too much to do, he had to be out of the system by noon tomorrow and he had a crew of a hundred and eight to run a ship that actually needed more than two hundred, he'd have to transport another seven offship due to emotional instability, along with ten who sustained critical wounds and would be out of action for several months. Quinn had contacted him and told him that he'd get at least fifty enlisted crew to replace his lost officers, but he still had to sign the forms and submit them to make the exchange legal. They had been back aboard the ship around 1800 (6:00 PM) and had been working ever since then, signing form after form concerning the new troops, materials to replicate new hull pieces while underway, as well as other engine parts and equipment destroyed in the battle.

Sometime around 2100 Reddy sat back and sighed. He had worked through almost a hundred different forms and had signed his name on them more than once. All the work was tiring and hurting his hand and he was already growing tired. He had been up too early that morning and had felt his eyes heavy with fatigue before they had even gone into Admiral Quinn's office. He sat and looked across the table at T'Kira, ever so busy and unwilling to admit her own, even as it showed under her eyes.

Reddy stood and stretched, the silk shirt that was issued to go under the Academy Uniform, which actually was one piece of the uniform that had to be paid for, was the only thing on his upper body—he had borrowed a jacket from a Andorian when he went to the Quinn's office—and he felt the cool air of his quarters across his skin. Surprisingly, their heaters still worked but were down to twenty-percent efficiency, most of the remaining power had been transferred to keep the sickbay warm, everyone else had to suck it pretty much.

He didn't know why, but he realized that it would be a cold night, and T'Kira wasn't likely to stop until she dropped out on the table. He looked at her skinny body and let his imagination run wild, he moved around the table and stood behind her. She was too busy at the work to notice him, shifting through the remaining four inch stack of papers that would be fed through a machine to put them in digital format, until he came in close, leaned over, and wrapped his arms under hers and held them across her ribcage under her breasts. She hardly moved, suddenly stilled. Reddy brought his head down close to her as she spoke.

"Captain? I don't think you're allowed to do that." She said, her voice shook slightly.

Reddy whispered in her ear. "It's cold T'Kira, and you are tired, come with me."

She didn't want to move. "Captain—"

Reddy stopped her by trailing a string of kisses down her cheek and neck. She stood and came with him. He guided her to the bed and they stripped down to their undergarments and climbed into the bed. They didn't do much besides that, the spoon against each other and Reddy wrapped his arms about her stomach again and nestled his head against her shoulder, they lay there with the sheets pulled all the way up and the warmth of their bodies trapped beneath. They had drifted off to sleep in a matter of minutes.

(Conclusion)

As for those of you who have played or watched tutorials of Star Trek Online, you will realize that I've changed a lot of details and characters. I will explain this through the fact that Star Trek Online is geared for constant and intriguing gameplay, it's only given dates so far are the graduation date (2409) and another date in some other mission, well after you've made it to Vice Admiral, as 2410. This is bad and horrible, it means you pretty much go from Cadet to Admiral in twelve months, which of course isn't true, and has all kinds of other incongruities in story line. I do admit that a captain could fight Klingons, Gorn, Orions, kill the Undying, blah blah blah, and live to see the light. But not inside of a single year. So I took the liberty of removing the Borg from this pilot and simply sending them home.

I'll now tell you of my new stage for this story. I'm taking them along a roughly five-six year course between the time they start as Lieutenants and eventually become Captains and admirals. The first and second year will mainly concern the Klingon-Gorn-Orion conflict outlined in the first story arc of the game, the third will include the conflict on Nimbus and probably something to do with the Devidians. The fourth and fifth and sixth will concern Romulans and Cardassians. It is a plan that will pursue the story from more than one viewpoint. I know that now I will definitely include the characters Morris, T'Vrell, maybe Triss, and at one point Suzanne will be separated and given her own command. I am extremely excited to see you, the readers, giving me cool character sketches and advice on different missions, I really hope to come up with some cool Main and Secondary characters you created and tell me who should take each mission.

I am waiting for my first review, we finally got a hundred views! And am excited to hear what y'all have to say about following episode. (P.S. Do you want me to make separate stories or just add unto this story? Please let me know quickly!)
