Unspoken Truths

Sometimes it is what is not said that is most meaningful.


All the Federation wanted was the cloaking device. I never intended to hurt you.

The Federation - And what did you want? Could I have convinced you to remain with me?

It was my only interest when I boarded your vessel. You changed that.

And that's exactly all you came away with! You used me – I'm a fool!

You underestimate yourself, Commander. I was sorely tempted.

You realize that very soon we will learn to penetrate the cloaking device you stole. I do not want to hear you - I can't meet your eyes; you will see how I feel.

Obviously. Military secrets are the most fleeting of all. I hope that you and I exchanged something more permanent. I wish circumstances could have been different.

It was your choice? Please tell me that it was not for your duty alone you were with me.

It was the only choice possible. I wanted to be with you. You would not respect any other. Please believe me.

It will be our secret. I will hold the memory of your touch forever in my heart.
