WE ARE NO LONGER ON THE EVE OF BATTLE.   even so,  i come to ask myself the same question that young soldier asked the general all those years ago:  ‘how do i defeat fear?’  the general’s answer?  'the only way to defeat fear is to tell it no.’  no,  we will not take shortcuts on the path to righteousness.  no,  we will not break the rules that protect us from our basest instincts.  no,  we will not allow desperation to destroy moral authority.  i am guilty of all these things.  some say that in life,  there are no second chances.  experience tells me this that this is true.  but we can only look forward.  we have to be torchbearers casting the light so we may see our path to lasting peace.  we will continue exploring,  discovering new worlds,  new civilizations.  yes,  that is the united federation of planets.   yes,  that is starfleet.  yes,  that is who we are  &&  who we always will be.

“there you are!”   the enormous sigh of relief she lets out as she spots @bakcr​ is,  in naomi’s eyes,  completely justified.  this is a serious situation,  after all.   “i need your help.  flotter and treevis aren’t speaking to each other and neither of them will tell me why.  neelix is busy,  my mom’s on duty,  and you’re the only other person who knows them as well as i do!  you’ve gotta come!”

"don't go. please."

"how do i know you're real?"

"rough day today?"

"what now? i'm tired."

"it won't be easy, that's for sure."

"watch what you say. the trees have ears."

"can you forgive me?"

"just let me do this for you."

"why were they coming after you?"

"why are you talking like we'll never see each other again?"

"why did you help me?"

"would you like something for the pain?"

"why did you come?"

"you snore in your sleep. it's adorable."

"i'm glad i could share this with you."

"just admit it. we're lost."

"well, don't stand there in the rain. come on."

"i really thought you were gone this time."

"if you tell me yours, i'll tell you mine."

"are you... smelling me?"

"i have a spare bed."

"your plan's gonna get us all killed, and you know it."

"find someone else to listen to your problems."

"how did you get this scar?"

"you stepped on my foot!"

"i'm not sorry."

"i don't know how you do this every day..."

"what did you wish for?"

"there's no turning back now."

"i just want to take it all back."

"am i not good enough?"

"i won't let them hurt you."

"i'm fine, let me see your arm."

"why can't you let me in? what are you so afraid of?"

"this is wrong."

"none of this would’ve happened if you had just listened to me!"

"don't run away from this."

"you wanna know what your problem is?"

"so why's it so important anyway?"

"i'm not here to talk about my feelings."

"close your eyes and hold out your hands."

"seems like i'm always saving your ass."

"let me help with that."

"you know you aren't allowed in here, right?"

"don't shut me out. please."

"fine. i'll help you but you have to help me."

"i don't need you to understand, i just need you to help me."

"i have to do this alone."

"i'm not talking to you when you're like this."

"i don't need you anymore."

"why did you wake me?"

"how many times have i told you? you can't visit me here."

"jealous? i'm not jealous!"

"this place is cursed... i can feel it."

"you need to stay still."

"i've been to many strange places... but this is a new one."

"dangerous to be out so late."

"don't make me go by myself."

"i can't leave you alone for one minute, can i?"

"we're wasting time."

"you... don't like me very much, do you?"

"i would never lie to you."

"give me one good reason why i should believe you."

"i'm not sure what i'm supposed to feel."

"you're about as intimidating as a butterfly."

"no more lies, no more secrets."

"do you wanna get out of here?"

"what did they do to you?"

"i don't go away if you ignore me."

"you don't know when to give up, do you?"

"i can't help you unless you talk to me."

"what was that for?"

"you can't just come into my life and go right out of it. i won't let you."

"think of it as a compliment."

"did you want to be alone?"

"who did you piss off this time?"

"you'll be no help to anyone if you run yourself into the ground."

"stop trying to figure everything out. just focus on now."

"are you saying you care about me?"

"i did what i had to do."

"what? no witty remark? nothing clever to say?"

"i don't think we're supposed to be in here."

"they have us surrounded!"

"i've come for you."

"promise me?"

"why are you looking at me like that?"

"you'll always have a home with me."

"i never meant to hurt you."

"i believe you."

"let me see that."

"you can relax. we're safe here."

"you have to go somewhere safe."

"we've been through a lot. i think we should just lay low and take it easy."

"when was the last time you ate something?"

"we have to leave, now!"

"i need your help... and you need mine."

"i wasn't flirting, i was being friendly."

"change isn't easy."

"there has to be another way."

"i don't care what they say about me."

"you've lost a lot of blood."

"you don't give a shit about me."

"you want me? here i am."

"i never wanted to hurt you."

"it's very rude to stare."

"i don't often get the chance to talk to someone like you."

"if you have something to say, spit it out."

"when was the last time you slept?"

"i can't do this without you."

"you're such a fucking coward."

"i'm not drunk enough for this."

"i hope you haven't been standing out in the cold this whole time."

"i wish i could hate you."

"why are you still here?"

"you're hot when you're angry."

"are you going to kill me?"

"i don't have a plan, but we'll figure it out."

"we can stop them. i can help you."

"i don't feel so good."

"promise me you won't overreact."

"is... that my shirt you're wearing?"

"you look like you need a hug."

"what do these symbols mean?"

"you can't decide what's best for someone else."

"i guess i should've told you."

“i was under the impression that humans are fond of surprises,   though i am uncertain as to why,”   that’s hardly anything new,  however,  as t’pring has increasingly noted herself faced with a lack of understanding throughout her studies of humanity.  with such a regular trend presenting itself,  it is fortunate that the discomfort prompted by such a repetitive failure to comprehend human behavior is balanced sufficiently by the drive to better allow @otherwiise​ to embrace his humanity.  

throughout the course of their relationship it has become clear that every aspect of his heritage is a matter of significant importance to her betrothed,  and it is that knowledge that allows for appropriate growth in her capacity to compromise.  in turn,  it is that continuing attempt to compromise that had led t’pring to contact spock’s captain in order to determine an unobtrusive time to ‘drop by unannounced’,  as she believes chris had put it   ❪  another nonsensical phrase,  as she had transported aboard as intended with no ‘dropping’ involved  ❫.   “is an appreciation for surprises not a human trait you wish to cultivate?”

WE ARE NO LONGER ON THE EVE OF BATTLE.   even so,  i come to ask myself the same question that young soldier asked the general all those years ago:  ‘how do i defeat fear?'  the general’s answer?  'the only way to defeat fear is to tell it no.'  no,  we will not take shortcuts on the path to righteousness.  no,  we will not break the rules that protect us from our basest instincts.  no,  we will not allow desperation to destroy moral authority.  i am guilty of all these things.  some say that in life,  there are no second chances.  experience tells me this that this is true.  but we can only look forward.  we have to be torchbearers casting the light so we may see our path to lasting peace.  we will continue exploring,  discovering new worlds,  new civilizations.  yes,  that is the united federation of planets.   yes,  that is starfleet.  yes,  that is who we are  &&  who we always will be.

@galaxyraised   plotted starter

gabriel re-enters his home univers with a bang, crashlanding on a deserted moon. he sets up a distress beacon and initially assumes he’s hallucinating when the USS Cooper answers. 

he’s long stopped believing in miracles, if he ever even did. but this—— he’s HOME. 

the strength of gabriel’s relief had blinded him, initially, to the strange attitudes of the senior crew around him. but as the doctor allows him out from medbay, it starts to become apparent. the uncertainty. confusion. wariness. 

they’ve put up a nice facade, showing him to guest quarters, no restraints, no obvious hostilities—– this isn’t the terran empire, he reminds himself. but gabriel gets the distinct feeling that he’s lucky not to be in the brig.  the door is locked behind him and the room, while comfortable, lacks anything that could make escape a possibility. ( not that he WANTS to escape, to be clear. but he’s just become something of an expert escape artist, recently. ) it hasn’t missed his attention that he’s under guard.

the captain had stated, plain and clearly, that his record said KIA. not MIA. that the records surrounding that were heavily classified, which conjures suspicions in gabriel’s mind that he does NOT want to confront.

he tries to tell himself that he’s just being paranoid. that of course everything will feel strange after four years in the terran empire. but listening to his instincts is the only thing that kept him alive, over there, and he has a bad feeling about this. which hurts, a wrenching, bewildering feeling; another feeling he’s not willing to confront right now.  

the captain says he doesn’t have clearance to answer gabriel’s questions. gabriel demands to speak to someone who CAN. he waits, impatient and foreboding. his thoughts go around in circles, imagining horrific scenarios, convincing himself he’s just paranoid and traumatised. wondering if he’s really home at all, or if this is some kind of terran trap. maybe they’ve finally discovered how to break him, because he thinks, this really, really could——

 the door slides open. gabriel’s on his feet before he even looks up ( hand itching towards a weapon that’s not there ) and he inhales sharply.

“kat—-” he says, he starts, trails off. he swallows. “kat, what’s going on?”

had the transmission been anything but a direct conversation with command she’s certain that belief would elude her more concretely than it does now.   among all the strange events that’ve unfolded since the signing of the armistice that’d ended a brutal war,  to hear that gabriel lorca had been recovered from an uninhabited moon certainly sits at the top of the list.  the washington’s the closest ship with a member of the admiralty aboard they’d said,  going as far as to suggest that she’s likely the correct choice for such a mission anyway. 

as much as she hates it,  a churning mess of knots have entangled her stomach from the moment it’d been made clear that this was actually happening.  it’s truly impossible to offer any concise description of her relationship with the man she’s considered dead for so long now,  but in the moment ‘complicated’ feels especially fitting.  the traumas katrina has faced over the past several years have left her weary and guarded  —  the weight that sits atop her shoulders so immense that it’s a wonder she’s managed to bear it. 

then again,  she muses silently,  to truly feel the weight of it all would first require that kat truly acknowledge it  —  there’s a foreboding feeling deep in her soul that insists that the time for putting it all off has run out  —  just one more facet of this situation that leaves the admiral feeling so uneasy.  as the transporter beam leaves her standing aboard the cooper,  the sound of her heart pounding behind her ears makes it difficult to process anything she’s being offered in way of new information…  of course,  no one aboard this ship has the clearance to really tell her anything she doesn’t already know.  that,  at least,  is a small comfort. 

“i’ve got it from here,  captain,  thank you,”   it’s rude to cut him off mid-sentence,  she knows that,  but it’s difficult to give a damn in the face of something so enormous.  a pointed look as the final approach is made toward her destination prompts her escorts to return to duty and leaves kat with little to do but steel herself.  it’s seconds before a decision is made,  the deliberation landing on a singular thought:  best to just get it over with. 

squaring her shoulders,  kat overrides the lock and steps forward with all the confidence she wishes was actually present.  it’s immediately obvious that she hadn’t allowed herself to truly entertain the idea that this wasn’t some cruel and elaborate ruse until  —  until she sets eyes on him and there’s no doubt left.  the shift is disorienting,  but she does her best not to show it.  professionalism is something she clings to like it’s armor,  and the truth is that it is,  for all intents and purposes. 

“gabriel,”   the awe kat allows to slip into the soft utterance of a name she still associates with a ghost is measured,  and she finds herself swallowing hard as she steps forward and allows the door to shut behind her.   “it’s really you,”   part of her knows it’s an acknowledgment that has to be made aloud,  and the next moment she finds herself attempting to find a balance between commanding officer and friend that feels sufficient.  

clearing her throat,  she gestures to the nearest seating and immediately proceeds to settle into one of the chairs  —  the question of how long her legs would manage to hold her up is hardly one the admiral’s eager to learn the answer to.  “i know you haven’t been told much,  and i apologize for that,  but captain lee doesn’t have the clearance for any of this.  you’ve missed a lot,  gabriel,  and i’m sure you’ve dealt with your share of obstacles so i hate to be the bearer of bad news in letting you know that there are plenty left to come,  but i don’t want to lie to you.”   a pause is offered to allow time for the words to sink in,   “before anything else,  i’ll need you to tell me where you’ve been the last several years,”   to exhibit caution after the experiences she’d endured with his doppelgänger seems especially warranted.
