Part 10

It was a normal day aboard the Federation-controlled station "Deep Space 9", and all was right in the world, except in the case of a certain Trill…

"What's wrong?" Dr. Julian Bashir said, as he and Science Officer Jadzia Dax were leaving the medical lab. They were working on cataloging newly-discovered organisms that that had been bought from a trader from the Gamma Quadrant for the past few days. During that time, Counselor Usagi Tsukino had been back on Earth for a conference at the Daystrom Institute, having been invited to speak on xeno-psychology and linguistic interpretations, an amazing feat considering the fact that Usagi was known for her "bimbo" antics while being equally known as an authority in field of study and experience as a starship commander.

"Usagi's shuttle is back, and I have yet to receive her usual greeting," Dax said cautiously.

"Ah," Bashir replied, thinking about the way Usagi would greet HER Dax. "Just tell the Counselor to knock it off."

"I know, I should, but she doesn't mean any harm, and I am quite flattered by the attention she gives me."

Pause.

"But maybe she finally gets the message that she should just grow up and be a proper member of Starfleet…"

And then, from seemingly from nowhere, a giggle could be heard.

"Heeheeheee…"

"Did you hear that?" Dax said, as her danger senses picked up.

"Yes, it sounds like the Counselor's laugh, but I don't see her anywhere," Bashir said.

"Heeheeheee…"

Bashir and Dax look around the corridor until they looked up to see Usagi scaling the corridor's ceiling.

"DAX!" Usagi said happily, as she puts the drop on her beloved.

"Ah!" Dax yelped, as she experience the furious hug from the Moon Princess.

GLOMP!

"Oh, Dax, how I missed you," Usagi said, as she hugged Dax while sighing contently.

"Um, hi, Usagi," Dax lamented.

"This is ridiculous," Bashir said. "Counselor, you are a grown woman. Can't you control yourself?"

"My dear, doctor, my history with Dax goes back YEARS, long before YOU were born," Usagi replied.

"And I KNOW that you are a married woman."

"So what? If he wants, he can 'watch', or join in for some fun and games."

Pause.

"Heck, you can do that too, if you want, doctor."

"…"

"Usagi, I appreciate the attention, but I am NOT 'Curzon Dax'," Dax said. "I'm not him anymore, okay?"

"Okay," Usagi said disappointedly while letting go and getting up. "I don't know why I'm so affectionate with you, Dax."

"Perhaps there is a physiological disorder at work?" Bashir offered.

"I prefer 'nuts' myself," Dax said, as she dusts herself off. "Look, I'll just call it a day, okay?"

"Okay," Bashir said, as he glares at Usagi for ruining his chances of getting with Dax that evening.

"Nyah!" Usagi replied, as she sticks out her tongue at the medical doctor.

Dax merely shakes her head and walks away…

As Usagi was returning to her quarters, she received a secured communiqué through bracelet. It was specially made by the Romulans to avoid detection from standard Federation sensor sweeps and other forms of detection. She received it during her time in Romulan space, which is not publically known.

"Huh?" Usagi said, as she lifts her bracelet. Other than certain people on Romulus, only one other person would know how to contact her through her bracelet.

"Garak?" Usagi asked, as she tapped her bracelet, which appeared to be made of a special crystal to hide its true purpose. "Why are you calling me on this frequency?"

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have important information that you will need to have, concerning our friend Lt. Dax," Garak replied.

"Oh?"

A short time later…

Three kidnappers, with a dazed Dax in tow, entered the main docking bay, where a Klaestron ship was waiting for them. Thus far, the Klaestron trio had managed to circumvent the station's security grid, only to be met by a waiting, and very angry Usagi.

"What?" the lead male said, as he slowed down. "How-?"

"There will be no negotiations," Usagi said firmly. "Stand down, or deal with me."

One of the Klaestrons, a female, immediately charged this seemingly frail Starfleeter.

"Ha-!"

Usagi had back-handed the female with one swat, stunning her in the process.

"Uhhhh…"

One of the male Klaestrons took out an energy pistol, and discharged it.

"I don't like that," Usagi said, as her battle aura was visible briefly upon impact, while she walked up to the offending man. She quickly front-kicks the offender while snatching his weapon from him.

"Auggh-!"

"Impossible!" said the last Klaestron, as he attempted to pull another device out of his pocket, only to have Usagi swat the object away while grabbing the man's neck.

"Usagi, don't-!" Dax said, as Usagi lifted the man up into the air one-handed.

"I should hurt you badly for what you and your crew just did-"

"Counselor, stand down," said Commander Benjamin Sisko, the station's commanding officer. Ops had picked up on what had happened, and went to make their moves on the kidnappers.

"We can take it from here," Odo said, as he directs his security team to apprehend the Klaestron kidnappers.

"Please," Dax said. "I'm okay."

Usagi sighed, as she lets the Klaestron go.

"Auck!" said the Klaestron, as he rubbed his neck. "I should file a complaint against your government for this!"

"YOU file a complaint?" Sisko said incredulously. "You kidnapped one of my officers-"

"Based upon a legal extradition permit," the Klaestron said, as he presents a data node to Sisko.

"Who the hell are you?" Usagi demanded.

"I am 'Ilon Tandro', special envoy from Klaesto Prime," said the man. "Under an extradition agreement between the Federation and my government, I can initiate unilateral extradition."

"For what?" Sisko asked.

"I am here to take the Trill known as Dax back to my homeworld to stand trial for the murder of Ardelon Tandro," said the man. "My father."

All eyes turned towards Jadzia Dax, who looks away in shame and apprehension.

"See? Dax is guilty for what happened."

"That remains to be scene, Mr. Tandro," Sisko said. "For now, you will be confined to our guest quarters until I get a better picture of the situation."

"And will, soon enough," Tandro said with a smirk.

"This way," Odo said, as leads Tandro away.

"Counselor, since you're the legal expert around here, I want you to get on this matter," Sisko said, as he hands the data node to Usagi.

"I understand," Usagi said, as she accepted the node, as she gave Dax a sideways glance.

"Dax, can't you tell me what's going on?" Sisko asked.

"I can't say anything about the matter, Benjamin," Dax replied.

"Then, I have no choice but to confine you to quarters," Sisko said with a sigh.

"I'll escort her there, sir," Usagi interjects.

"Alone."

"Drats…"
