(USS Exeter – Bridge - Empress Lana Wakeman and aCO Ailynn Bracken– 0445)



Lana straightened herself as the Commander stepped away; she had looked
into Bracken’s eyes. She had hoped for the outwardly playful, insincere,
and fleeting creature,fleeting of thought and dulled of senses. However as
the Commander's hands twisted the cloth around her throat with a surgical
precision that she both recognised, and to a degree commended, the Empress
saw something else, she saw tender tactility and pain, she saw love and
hatred, she saw death...and life. There was an instant, a moment of the
purest quanta of time where her and Ailynn stared into each other’s soul,
she knew that foe the moment that she had go the more of that glance, and
even that had pushed Lana’s psyche to the edge.



~Damned Brackens and their utter unswperving feelings about duty, and
honour.~ That iota-sliced sliver of time had only given her so much, the
most of which that she could have guessed. Ailynn was of that Dark
bloodline, the ones that had so many times stepped up to take a lead; when
all sensibility told them not to , whose familial destiny was to be the one
that needs to do what was needed and that she was completely and utterly
wired at a genetic level to sniff out pain and injustice, and destroy it.



Lana slinked, sighing gently, now able to breathe, “As you see fit to
secure them.



(Reply BIlly)





Billy then turned to Her. "My lady, we have control of Engineering from
here. Outside of command control authorization, we have full control of the
ship. There are a few loose agents out there, but other than that the
Exeter is all yours."



"Good work Billy. Keep security moving through corridors. Lock these up in
the Ready Room



"Might I suggest, my lady, that perhaps we lock our three friends in the
Ready Room. Stow them away until, they are ready to comply." Billy then
nodded as he stood waiting for his Empress to command him.



Lana nodded. “If that’s what you recommend. I shall reward you later.
Escort them into the ready room,” smiling as she turned around, she missed
Ailynn’s glance to the others as did  the entire bridge, shaking her head
gently to the other Officers near her, she smiled internally.



(Reply Billy/ ‘goodies’ on bridge)



Ailynn feigned a fightback as she and the other were forced by Billy into
the ready room. For herself Ailynn stood her ground and stared Billy deep
in the eyes, seeing nothing. But hoping to hit a conscience that was
buried. “Billy...she felt the full force of her her attention throw itself
forward.

“Io chiamo….Mia dispiace...Rivendico una faida di sangue” Ailynn translated
instantly.

“I claim blood feud. So long as there is there is fire in my soul and blood
in my veins or life in any progeny of my loins we will know no peace. Her
other hand slapped him out of nowhere. “ I abhor you, and all of your
descendants. .” She stared deep into his eyes



(Reply Billy)

Ailynn saw nothing of the pleasant boy that she had known, and from nothing
threw her palm around in an open slap, an ancient display of unforgivable
insult.“faida.”



(Reply Billy)


She allowed her and the others to be moved, very very carefully, she noted,
to the ready room, were she assumed that the Empress thought them secure.
The moment the door was shut, she hit a button to lock it and her demeanor
switched to one of being more supportive,she ripped open a panel to reveal
a medkit. “Okay so eat. That is an order, eat and rest. We move out in
fifteen minutes. "  Her tone was gentle, almost maternal. “Grab something
to eat, then present it to me to scan.”



“Hit me with your thoughts....speak freely please ”



(Reply Greta, Fuller)
