He had called her that. It was an insult, but not the way he had thought. He had called her one of them. The 'peaceful' federation that had destroyed her home. She would sooner die.
"Don't insult me, I just saved you." Jane snapped.
"I didn't need saving by a human." He responded.
"Then who did you need saved by?!" Jane demanded.
"Definitely not the federation, after all, I'm still a prisoner, aren't I?" He gestured at the containment field around him.
"I'm not with the federation!" Jane said slowly and loudly.
"Then why are you on a federation ship?" he asked.
"It was available, and there was no crew left to stop me." Jane stated.
" No crew? Not likely." He said.
"It's true. They crashed, then left the ship. None of them lasted a week. You can choose, live or die. Join me or be killed." She said.
"You don't even know why I was in prison and you're offering to 'save my life'." he scoffed.
"I don't want to know either. Choose now." Jane said, highly upset at this romulan.
"Well, since I don't feel like dying today, that leaves one other option." He said .
"Gold choice, what's your name?" Jane asked.
"Delon Llweii" he stated.
"What section do you want to work in? Engineering, medical, tactical-"
"As in weapons?" he asked, cutting her off.
"Yes, as in weapons." She said as though talking to a small child.
"I'll do that."Delon said.
"Okay. J, Delon Leeway..er... the romulan on board now has access to all tactical stations, understood?" Jane asked.
"Confirmed Capitan." J responded. Jane found this rather curious, considering that J had never called her 'caption' before.
"Release containment field around our tactical officer." Jane ordered. As the energy dissipated, Delon couldn't help but think that this human was definitely crazy, and that it was this ship that he needed to escape from.
