"Yes, yes I will. I must admit that I am shocked."
Wesley jumped to his feet and gave her a passionate kiss. The officers around the table began to hoot and holler in excitement making the new couple blush and take their seats. The table was in excited conversation when the door on the other end of the room swished opened. A wave of dread shot through Kristen and she sat straight up in response. She did not turn to look at the newcomer like the others had; instead she kept all her emotions along with her thoughts in check for she knew who this person was before he entered the room. She felt the Force bond they shared snap open and felt pride flow over it.
You've done well my daughter. The Emperor will be pleased to hear your mission went well.
It's not over yet. We still want the rebels to acquire this information.
"Welcome Lord Vader. It is a pleasure to have you dine with us this evening." Picard said as he stood to greet the new guest.
Vader's powerful voice covered the hiss of his breathing as he replied, "You may dispense with the pleasantries, Captain. I am not pleased with the events that have occurred here today."
Kristen pretended to be amused by the situation at hand. She allowed a large grin to come to her lips as she stood to address Vader. "Oh things didn't go the way you wanted them too, huh? What happened this time, did a crew member steal your personal Tie fighter?" She said with mock amusement playing across her face and in her eyes. She was lucky that she had been trained in acting; other- wise both of their covers would have been blown. When Kristen finally broke her gaze with Vader, she noticed that she had been awarded with stares of disapproval. At that moment she sat back down to contemplate what just happened. To the crew it looked as if she had apparently been too sure of herself and misread the entire situation. But to her father and her, everything was going perfectly.
