"I did what you asked." Beata stated to the dark room. But there was no answer. She'd asked him to meet her here, the one who had ordered Stef to deliver that package to engineering. She knew what he asked of her was not right but she'd had no choice in the matter. It was either she did what she was told or her past would be revealed to the entire ship.

Two weeks earlier Beata had been a happy Ensign, thrilled to have her first assignment on a starship. She'd given up Earth and the life she'd been forced to live for over two decades. Then he'd come, this voice, never a face. He'd told her where she really belonged and it wasn't on the Majestic.

Then she'd met Stef and things had changed again. Her chance at happiness was doomed though, this mysterious stranger had seen to that. Once Stef found out the truth about her, once he discovered that it had been her who had tried to frame him, he would never speak to her again much less pull her into the arms she loved so much.

She placed her face in her hands. Stef would be all right, he could not be blamed for this for long because she knew this man would not stop with one bomb. He was determined to break up these peace talks. He spoke of revenge though Beata did not understand why. Nor did she understand why these peace talks had anything to do with him or the Federation, they were a private matter between the Creoli and Mavill, the Federation was merely standing by to acknowledge how far these two people had come.

Beata stood and headed for the door. She needed to speak to someone about this. But who?


Engin Beata Lauryl (pnpc by Saulitis)
Operations Officer
USS Majestic
