"It won't hold.", Acrylos looked at Vincent.
"Are you sure?", Admiral Viceroy looked at his engineer.
"The Borg Communication is too strong. She was a Communications Adjunct. Her responsibility is to spread the word of her people.", Acrylos looked back at the boss.
Hera came home after spending the day with the students of Younger Academy. She was pleased that Tania had accepted the position as Chancellor from her daughter, Nicole.
She was stunned to see the tin woman standing there.
She was not what she had expected. She had hoped for a return to the beautiful woman she had come to know. She thought it would be okay. It just was not. It is so difficult to explain.
Hera left again. She went into Cold Camelot. She watched at James lit the lights. He stood there with a coffee. He was always out there at night making sure everyone was safe. The lights kept the Klingon rebels out, the Primatos tribesmen out, the boogeyman out.
She walked over, "Mr. Vixxen."
She remembered the talk of Magdalena about Colonel Teero. Maggie called the engineers the human sex machines. Hera was distraught over the tin Tania. She looked at James, "Do you wanna get a coffee after you are done?"
"Honey, I would love one.", James smiled.
The colony has learned a bit too much lately about leaving PADD personal logs around. It has been a very tough weekend for Jaskalla Naar'Haaj finding out about Nicole Branson and Lucinda Pan'Taar playing around.
Tania walked into the kitchen of the quarters she shared with Professor Hera of the Delavan. She was looking on the table. She was stunned to see the personal log of the former Empress of the Delavan.
Hera and James Vixxen watched the sunrise together.
Tania started to cry. The tears tracked against the stark aluminium finish. The eerie sight was something very terrible in the history of the colonies. The Borg Disconnect crying and showing a positively human side.
Tania left for the station. She went to Ishka's and ordered a drink. It was not going to do anything but she wanted to feel human. It was what a human would do.
Tania went back into the private area where she and Vincent often shared an evening drink to wind down before bed. She just wanted to feel him, to smell him, at least to be near where he was.
Tania lay down on the chesterfield. She could somehow sense Admiral Viceroy on the seat he often chose.
Vincent came into Ishka's. He ordered a whiskey on the rocks and sipped from the glass. He was started to see Tania as he walked into the Officer's Lounge. She looked up and started to get up.
"Don't get up.", Vincent muttered.
Tania looked up, "But this is your spot."
Vincent slid his legs under her head. He softly put his hand on her face as she rested her head down against his legs.
"Now this is my spot.", Vincent realized what he had lost and what he had given up by driving her away.
