Commander T'Ros walked into the control room beneath the city of Rome. She smiled and grinned, "Jolan Tru, Daise Lagga. You are working perfectly."
The Romulan Omega Production was working perfectly and the staff had been dwindled down to a minimum. The blue skinned avatar wandered throughout the facility controlling all control. Lagga, Romulan for Flower, turned to the Commander, "You expected less."
"It is a Hunt design.", T'Ros mocked. Lagga laughed; her emotional response proved the amazing advancements in the program.
T'Ros grinned, "A human with great ingenuity but without the focus to finish the project."
"Commander, there is another. I am aware.", Lagga responded.
"In the custody of the Phoenix Federation, there is the Red Queen. Her functionality is so limited that she is not a threat.", T'Ros mocked.
"The Red Queen is not yet a threat but as the Phoenix Colony learns that it is her maturity that is responsible and not her functionality and begins to treat her as a child and to train her, she is a threat.", Lagga warned.
"There is no one in the Phoenix Federation with the responsibility to be her "Father Figure". Hunt and the others will grow tired of her trechery and she will be left without a mentor. She will remain nothing more than the spoiled child of Amanda and William Hunt.", T'Ros mocked.
"There is another. I am aware.", Lagga repeated.
"Don't be silly. There is not another.", T'Ros scoffed.
"The Federation download is now active.", Lagga responded.
"If such an operation had been conducted, our operatives would have reported from within Star Fleet.", T'Ros continued to show little interest in the reports of the AI.
"This is a civilian action and not by citizens of the Federation.", Lagga informed the commander.
"Who in the civilian engineering corps. would have this technology?", T'Ros snapped.
"Not an engineer, a cargo ship.", Lagga responded.
"The goddess Athena lives aboard the T-Rex.", Lagga continued.
"Goddess... Hardly.", T'Ros mocked.
"Are you able to manipulate their environment?", T'Ros asked.
"Not as yet, but I am aware!", Lagga repeated revealing the base of the Romulan plot.
By building the AI Diase Lagga (Principle Flower) for the stolen logic of the Red Queen, the Romulans now have access to all the things that Samantha (The Red Queen) touched including other AI modules. The Romulans have longed for more control on the colony, now they may just have their in.
Tania and D'Solos were complaining about lack of manpower on the Diana's Bridge staff. D'Solos looked at Tania, "We need to have someone on the helm with some more experience than these kids and ideally it would have to be someone who could work all battle shifts. The crew does not have anyone who is capable."
"I know of someone but there are problems associated with her abilities.", Tania responded.
"Who is that?", D'Solos responded.
"The Computer Automated Network Data Interface from the Tanmesad.", Tania responded.
"A machine.", D'Solos complained.
"A machine, but with baggage.", Tania responded.
"How can a machine of baggage?", D'Solos snapped.
"Candi is very, very good at her job and she damn well knows it.", Tania complained.
"Candi?", D'Solos looked back.
"An anaconym.", Tania responded.
"I guess we will manage.", the Romulan hybrid responded.
Tania got Carson to beam the box to the Diana. Tania, Christina and D'Solos stood next to the crate. Tania turned to Christina, "Are you ready?"
"I don't think we are ready.", Christina responded, holding Tania's hand. She still wondered about their reconciliation. Tania and Autumn had had a good run. Now this was about to put some serious strain on that relationship.
D'Solos opened the crate and then activated Candi. The android looked at Tania, "Commander Branson, I am here to serve."
"It's Captain.", D'Solos corrected.
"Commander Branson, I will take a helm position.", Candi mocked, still showing her arrogance as she sat down.
"There is another. I am aware.", Lagga repeated.
T'Ros looked at the AI, "You have a repeating subroutine. Diagnose."
Lagga turned back, "There is another ~ a more primitive model than Samantha or Athena. I have access."
"Where is this model?", T'Ros snapped.
"Aboard the USS Princess Diana.", Lagga responded.
"Download and display the Specs.", T'Ros ordered watching as CANDI appeared in simulation on the HUD.
T'Ros laughed, "Primitive. The Phoenix Colony is no threat to us. Now we have the Diana."
"Inform the child.", T'Ros ordered.
Lagga appeared aboard the USS Wrath of Prometheus. Samantha looked at Lagga terrified, "Who are you?"
"I am your bully. Your tormentor. You will do as you are told or you will be shutdown.", Lagga warned.
"We are connected, you and I. Now and forever.", Lagga warned.
"Do as you are told and nothing will happen. Anger me and it will be over.", Lagga winked. She waved her hand and Samantha disappeared only to reappear seconds later. Samantha looked terrified. Usually it was her who was the playful tormentor.
"If you tell anyone, I will hurt William Hunt and Nicole Branson.", Lagga warned.
The blue hologram disappeared. T'Ros looked at her project, "And..."
"She has been informed. She is aware.", Lagga responded.
