Chapter 15: Memories:
Author's Note: Yet, another chapter in. I don't own romulans and I don't own Star Trek.
"Sir, we are picking up strange readings." Kelaar said.
"What do you mean strange readings?" Zorek asked.
"I can't explain it but-"
"Commander?"
"Uh Zorek, you might want to look behind you."
Zorek turned around to find that behind him was Romulus. How it was possible he didn't even know, but when he turned around again the ship and the rest of the bridge crew were gone.
"Kelaar, do you know how this happened?"
"I have no idea, sir."
"Well, whatever is happening we have to get to the bottom of it. Let's look around."
"Okay, sir."
They walked around and saw a younger version of Zorek leaving a house and crying. They both looked shocked.
"You stay out of my house! I will not raise a gay son!" Zorek's father yelled.
Kelaar looked somewhat surprised.
"I'm bisexual." Zorek explained.
"Okay."
"Okay? Wait a minute. Is that all you're going to say?"
"Yeh, I really have no problem with it."
Zorek smiled slightly, "You're okay, Kelaar."
Kelaar smiled back and then looked serious, "Maybe we should follow your younger self."
"Yeh, there's nothing else to do anyways. Let's go." Zorek said beginning to go follow himself.
"Zorek, how do you suppose this happened?"
"I don't know, but we must be trapped in my memories."
"What about the rest of the crew? Do you suppose they got trapped here or inside others memories?"
"I don't know, but we can do everything we can to find out."
(STAR TREK)
Sorya and Cubius found themselves in a dark room. A younger version of Cubius was there and so was this rather big romulan with black eyes and black hair. There was a hint of something sinister about him.
"Cubius, who is that guy?"
"That is Commander Kolskiar of the warship Mogai. He's a ruthless, merciless, and black hearted man. I wish I had never encountered him."
"What's he going to do with you?"
Cubius looked pained, "He took me in when I was abandoned so that I could- satisfy him."
When Sorya got what he meant, her eyes widened in horror. She turned away when the child version of Cubius was forced to pleasure Kolskiar in sexual ways. Cubius just stared wide eyed and backed away before running off tears running down his face.
"Cubius, wait!" Sorya yelled running after him.
(STAR TREK)
Rollore and Jalad found themselves on a strange planet.
"What is this place?" Jalad asked.
"This is X'ervia. This is my home." Rollore answered sadly.
Jalad noticed his expression of sadness and was about to question it when the planet was fired upon. People run in a fit of panic. Some of them shift into different forms in attempt to get away faster, but every single one of them is shot down.
Rollore broke into a fit of pained cries as he saw his parents carrying him and trying to get away from the choas. They were both killed by a wild looking romulan.
The child version of Rollore stared at him in horror, confusion, sadness, and rage.
"If you live through this remember. My name is Savant." The murderer said smiling before raising his gun to shoot the younger version of Rollore, but he was stunned by some other romulans.
They did their best to calm little Rollore down and tried to save the others but they were all killed before they could get to them. So they escaped the planet with young Rollore just before it was destroyed.
Jalad and regular Rollore both found themselves back on the ship. Rollore was breathing heavily. If he was capable of crying, he would have, but all he could manage was pained noises.
"I'm so sorry, Rollore." Jalad said.
"It's not your fault." Rollore told him.
(STAR TREK)
Sorya cringed as young Cubius was yelled at by Kolskiar and beaten for making a wrong move. She looked horrifyed, but Cubius felt more. He was far more than just horrified. No words could describe how he felt to relive such a bad experience. Younger Cubius blacked out and regular Cubius and Sorya found themselves back on the ship.
Sorya noticed the look on Cubius's face and looked sad, "I hope that jerk Kolskiar burns in hell for what he did to you."
Cubius nodded in agreement and hugged Sorya and broke into tears. She looked even sadder and gently hugged him back.
(STAR TREK)
Zorek and Kelaar followed younger Zorek into a dark place between two buildings. Young Zorek waited for another young male romulan to come out and hand him a syringe. Kelaar eyes widened in shock as young Zorek injected himself with drugs and smiled.
"I used to be addicted," Zorek attempted to explain.
"I understand." Kelaar told him not really knowing what to think.
As soon as young Zorek got high. The memory blacked out and they found themselves back on the ship.
Zorek looked around and found his other senior crew members and they all got together except Jalad who wasn't a senior crew member.
"I don't know if you know this or not, but somehow Kelaar and I got stuck in one of my memories. We have to figure out how."
"Sir, Sorya and I got caught in one of my memories." Cubius reported.
"And Jalad and I got caught in one of my memories." Rollore annouced.
"Sir, there have been reports all over the ship of people claiming to be caught in their own or someone else's memories." Tenya said.
"It must have something to do with the strange readings." Kelaar said.
"Okay, we'll scan the area to see if there's anything unusual around here." Zorek said.
"Yes, sir."
They scanned the area and strangely none of them found anything else that was unusual about the readings until Jalad noticed something.
"Sir, we are caught in the middle of a spacial distortion. I suggest shifting the warp configurations by using are cloaking system to get out." Jalad said.
"That's impossible!" Cubius protested.
"No sir, it's not. I can do it myself. Just give me a chance. Please. I promise it will work."
"Okay, Jalad, you have my trust. Don't screw up." Zorek said.
"Thank you, sir."
Jalad's plan took a while but it actually worked. Zorek was rather impressed with Jalad's work.
"Jalad, from now on I want to see you at meetings and dinner." Zorek said.
"But sir, I am not a senior officer." Jalad argued.
"No you're not. Consider your rank now an honorable position."
Jalad smiled and Zorek smiled back.
"Thank you, sir."
"You deserve it."
From then on, Jalad was welcomed amoung the senior members of the crew.
