Tania watched as more explosions and demolition on Delavan brought more evidence that the Kingdom of Giants was no more. The Klingons had used the Romulan attack to gain a foot hold in the former Betazoid Alliance.
It is almost sad to watch as the Federation did nothing to prevent the attack instead letting the Romulans do their dirty work in allowing the Betazoid Alliance to crumble. The Federation is quick to forget the contributions of persons like President William Hunt and the Phoenix Federation and Admiral Illyan Coren and the Betazoid Alliance as the only ones who stood their ground against the rise of the a Empire of V'Ros.
Tears welled up in Tania's eyes when Hera slumped into her chair in a sobbing mess. Tania turned, "what has First Contact brought you? Nothing but pain and sadness, Empress Hera."
"I am an empress no more.", Hera sobbed.
Tania rushed from the observation deck of the Tanmesad crying, "And it is all my fault."
Hera was surprised to find the Borg Disconnect in her visiting dignity quarters on the Tanmesad. Tania had tried to write an apology for her inability to protect the Delavan. She had fallen asleep in her tears. Her new role as Task Force Commander plus commanding the Tanmesad had been so draining.
Hera just crawled up next to her new friend and just went to sleep, sharing another very special moment.
