Chapter One: Picard:
Author's Note: Rewrite of Deception which is the sequel to "The Romulan Way". I'm keeping the original on Fanfiction but I wanted to make a better version. I don't own Star Trek. I don't own romulans, but Zorek is of my own creation.
"Captain, I seek asylum." Zorek stated.
"Why?" Picard asked.
"They will not let me back home after I helped you fight those ferengi. I am dishonored forever. I can never return home."
"Liar!" Worf shouted standing up.
"Quiet your klingon dog, captain! This is no lie!"
"Worf, sit down." Picard ordered calmly.
Worf sat, "But he is a romulan. Romulans have no honor!"
"Worf, he is now a guest aboard our ship! I grant you asylum, Mr. Zorek."
"Thank you, captain."
"Let's at least post a guard on him!" Worf demanded.
"I said he is a guest! We will not make him feel like a prisoner! Challenge your preconceptions, Worf! We will not restrict him just because he is a romulan!"
"But-"
Picard gave him a look and Worf instantly quieted.
"Mr. Data, will you show Mr. Zorek to his quarters?" Picard asked.
"Yes, captain." Data replied.
In the torbolift, Data looked at the former Commander Zorek in curiosity.
"You must be the android. I've heard some interesting rumors about you." Zorek stated.
"I must say that I am curious as to your truthfulness about being banned from your home." Data said.
"Well, believe it Mr. Android. I am telling the truth." Zorek said teary eyed.
"Curious." Data stated.
"We romulans feel deeply, Mr. Android."
"I can see that." Data replied.
When they got to Zorek's new quarters, Zorek noticed Data still staring curiously at him.
"Talk later, Mr. Android? Satisfy your curiosity?"
"Of course," Data stated, "We can talk in Ten Forward when I am off duty."
Zorek looked at Data sadly, "Good, we will talk later. Now please leave me alone."
