“We liberated Cardassia from angry warlords and what did that gain us? Beggo fought beside us. He was a leader of men. Why did he have to be killed? Just for the status quo.”, Zoe sobbed.
Dr. Meadow Coren had lost too. Ona Ona Ztarr died for the status quo too. The Betazoid physician looked at the sobbing Bolian.
“We have a chance at a legacy here.”, Meadow looked at Colonel Beamon.
“I have blue skin. I am a Bolian. A line divides my face and removes the symmetry from beauty. No one will want me.”, Zoe sobbed.
“Beggo loved me.”, the Bolian was now crying outright.
“I am ugly. Who could love me?”, Zoe sobbed.
“My name is Dr. Meadow Coren. I am damaged too. I have lived a very promiscuous life. I have lived and loved most anybody. My heart is broken because the innocence of Ona Ona had reminded me that love was possible. He loved me despite the flaws of my history. Section 31 took him too.”, Meadow started to cry.
“Maybe I could love you.”, Meadow put her hand on the hair of the Bolian.
“But I am a girl.”, Zoe looked at Meadow.
“We will have to improvise.”, Meadow kissed the Bolian.
Zoe smiled. She had not smiled in too long. She was about to do a lot more than smile.
