Christine slurped the cold liquid trying to soothe her badly injured but regrowing tongue. She looked at the HUD and watched as the hovering image of Uhlan S'Lynna filling a void left when she became unfit for duty.
Christine wanted to lash out. It was in her Romulan blood to do so. Somehow in this instance after giving up everything to survive, she did not feel like shouting. She just watched knowing that she will one day be standing where that young Vulcan was tonight.
Rover walked in with some soup and a bottle of Picard Chardonnay 2375 and sat down. He looked at his silent girl and wondered what it must be like to be the lion that roared and then to be the mouse scurrying around in silence. He rested his head on her shoulder and then gave her a simple hug. There was no speech, no words of love but an act of affection that could not be measured in any spoken language.
Rover stood up and started for the door as Rodney came rushing in. Rover looked at his son, the center of his universe and put his finger to his lips to keep the boy quiet. Rover walked over to his son and knelt down.
Rodney looked at Rover, "Is Christine gonna be okay?"
"Yes, Dr. Giancarla Viceroy has proposed a reformation genetic alteration. Her tongue will grow back.", Rover explained to his human son.
"I want her to be okay. She is a nice lady.", Rodney spoke softly.
"Out of the mouths of Babes.", Rover knelt down to give Rodney a hug.
