Her sight was clouded by the bright green glow of the old Imperial transports, and her ears filled with the hum of the beam.

As her vision cleared and the hum in her ears descended she looked around at the familiar looking transporter room. She stepped off of the transporter pad and she was greeted by a young Romulan male. By the look one his face he seemed to be smiling at her.

“I don’t need a bodyguard,” she said simply to him as she walked past him and into the hallway. He followed her out of the room and started walking behind her.

She turned a corner and he would follow, she turned another corner and he would follow. Then she stopped suddenly and turned to face him.

“Stop following me!” she said, nearly screaming at him.

He shook his head as he responded, “I’m sorry I can not,” he said in a montone, while continuing to smile.

“And why not?” she asked him puzzled.

“Lord Eldus has assigned me to you as your assistant, right-hand man, or bodyguard whichever you prefer,” he responded to her as he slightly bowed his head to her.

She scoffed at him before turning around and continuing her journey to Eldus’ office. As she opened the door she couldn’t hear anything coming from inside.

Once she stood in front of the doors she prepared herself for what awaited her on the other side.

“Soja!” A feminine voice screamed out to her. Soja turned around to see who it was and saw her sister briskly moving towards her.

“Do you know why he has summoned us to his ship?” Tara asked her in an anxious tone. 

“No, I assumed you knew,” she responded to her question.

“I’m being kept out of the loop.”

Soja’s mouth dropped open as the doors opened to a smiling older Romulan male.

“Just the two women I was looking for,” a smiling Eldus said, “Come on in.”

They followed him as he walked into the room as they entered. They looked around at the dim light room and spotted a holotable showcasing a star system.

“I think I’ve finally located it,” Eldus said as he walked over the table. 

“Located what?” Soja asked him.

“Something that our mother had kept hidden from us,” he said, “I’ve tracked it down to a Federation colony known as Deblin.”

“A Federation colony?” Tara asked concerned.

“Is there a problem?” Eldus asked her with an ‘unbothered’ expression on his face.

“No, brother,” she responded, sharing a worried look with Soja.

[20 mins later – Soja’s Ship Bridge]

She walked on to the bridge as soon as the officers realized who it was they all rushed to her. Surronding her as soon as the doors closed behind her.

“What happened,” one of them asked as they stood up from the command chair.

“We are to travel to the galactic south and attack a Federation Colony,” she said looking at each of them. Everyone started mumbling and talking amongst themselves in hushed tones.

“What for?” someone asked over the mumbling and hushed conversations.

“Something that our mother kept hidden from us. Eldus believes it will restore the Empire and he wants to recover it.”

“Will it restore the empire?” one of them asked her.

“I doubt it,” she said as she began to walk towards the command chair. The bridge then fell into a deep silence as everyone were left alone to their own thoughts. Pondering what might be there next move

“What’s are next move, Captain?” someone asked from the back of the bridge.

“I have a plan but its risky and if we aren’t careful we could all end up on the business end of a phaser,” she said looking at everyone. She wanted to make sure they would stand by her for the next step in their plan.

As she looked out into the crowd she saw the majority of them nodding their head in acknowledgement of the risk they were undertaking by pursuing this course of action.

“So here’s the plan,” she started speaking.
