"I gave up everything for you; for us.", Anora snapped.
"I will not be a part of this.", Anora looked at Thua'ra.
Thua'ra looked out the viewer as four Galor Class Cardassian Ships dropped out of warp.
"You can't.", Anora looked at the Cardassian.
"It's done. Avril killed the Romulans to enrich the Dilthium. Legate Anwar can retake the empire with the increased range and speed. Cardassia can be whole again.", Thua'ra looked at Anora.
"Whole under a dark cloud.", Anora reminded her lover.
T'Zohl looked at Thua'ra, "They are hailing us."
Thua'ra looked around. T'Zohl looked back, "This great ship has liberated the Phoenix Colony. She has defended the Governor's Station. She fought for the Terran Empire under the command of Captain John Warren. She is a symbol of the King's Fleet and now she will forever be tarnished in this moment by this commanding officer. It is not the hundreds of things you did right that count, it is the one thing you did wrong."
The Vulcan beauty spoke such eloquence. Thua'ra looked at Anora and then at T'Zohl, "I am a Cardassian."
"You are of Camelot. You are a Knight in the King's Court. Forget your history and stand with King's or follow your old ways and die in the darkness.", T'Zohl looked around the bridge.
"They are hailing us again.", Catherine looked at Gul Varno.
Varno took a deep breath. He thought of his first service on the USS Nova Horizon. He thought of the chances he had been given by the King's Fleet and by the colonies. He thought about past betrayals. He now stands on the flagship about to give power to the enemy.
Catherine repeated, "they are requesting the transfer."
Varno looked at his Andorian tactical officer, "Russia, load the cargo on to a shuttle."
Trmel looked at T'Zohl. Varno looked at Russia, "Now Lieutenant."
The Andorian disappeared. Anora stormed from the bridge. Catherine looked at Varno and then announced on all frequencies, "Prepare to receive the cargo."
Varno looked at T'Zohl, "Commander, Target and destroy the shuttle."
T'Zohl smiled. The Vulcan tried always to control her emotions.
Anora was in her quarters when she heard the explosion. The response could be heard on all channels.
"You will pay for your betrayal, Gul Varno. The vessels of the King's Fleet will pay. We will take the colony and use the Meadow Principle ourselves!", the Cardassian screeched.
"No one will start another war in the Cheron System.", Admiral T'Ros announced as the giant warbird decloaked.
Varno looked back, "Get us out of here, Commander."
"Aye, Gul Varno.", T'Zohl engaged the warp engines.
Anora looked at Varno as she walked back onto the bridge. Varno took a deep breath.
"I am a Cardassian.", he frowned.
"No, sir. You are a King.", Anora kissed him on the cheek.
