OPS_Ecin says:
:: On the bridge.  It is too quiet.::

ACTION: The Captain was last seen in his Ready Room, doing whatever it is Captains do in there...

OPS_Ecin says:
:: A message comes through her con for the captain. A quick check shows her it was mistakenly rerouted.:: ¨*CO*: Captain, rerouting a comm to you from your wife.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Is curious what is going on ::  *OPS*: Understood.  Route it to my combadge.
OPS_Ecin says:
*CO*: Coming through now.
OPS_Ecin says:
:: Begins to track down the error in rerouting, after all these years, the captain's wife knows how to use the ships units.::
Host Amber says:
*CO*: Savar, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I need to see you, it's quite urgent.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
*Amber*: What is the issue?  What is your location?
Host Amber says:
*CO*: I'm in our quarters, I don't think it's something I can discuss over the comm.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
*Amber*: Understood.  I will be down momentarily.  :: Exits the ready room, and leaves command of the vessel in the hands of Commander Shania, then steps into the turbolift ::
OPS_Ecin says:
:: Not finding anthing specific in the software, sends a work order down to engineering.::

ACTION: Amazingly, given his position the CO's passage through the bridge and into the bowels of the ship is barely documented.

Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Stops at the proper deck and exits into the corridor, then inputs his security code to enter his quarters ::  Amber: Hello?
OPS_Ecin says:
:: Makes a note of captain MacPherson and Silver's location on the planet.::
OPS_Ecin says:
:: Goes back to listening on the various comm messages floating around.::

ACTION: The lights in the CO's quarters are dimmed, his can just make out his wife, she is sat on a chair, in the corner, he can see there is something not right by the look in her eyes.

Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Looks around, wondering if he should up the lights to see better ::

ACTION: The CO suddenly become aware that there is another person in the room, one just off to his right, standing at the entrance to the bathroom

K`Tara says:
:: Slightly shifts her hand so the weapon is obvious.  In a voice rather harsh.::  CO: Come further into the room.  Make yourself comfortable next to your... :: anger touches her voice.::  To her.  :: Points to his wife.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Eyes narrow ::  K'Tara: And if I refuse?
K`Tara says:
CO: I would be more then happy to remove her permanently from your life.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Moves slowly, but in the direction of his wife ::  K'Tara: Who are you?  Why are you here, and what do you want?
K`Tara says:
CO: I will ask the questions.  :: bitterness:: You are so logical, perhaps you will figure out your answers on your own.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
K'Tara: Obviously you are not the person you appear to be - you do not display the mannerisms of a Vulcan.
K`Tara says:
CO: I am not Vulcan!  I am... :: Takes a deep breath and motions for him to take a seat.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
:: Grudgingly sits, but still sits stiffly, keeping his feet on the floor, and his legs prepared ::  K'Tara: Obviously not.  Now what do you want?
K`Tara says:
:: Leans back against the wall, the weapon held across her adomen seemingly relaxed, but her finger is not.::  Why did you marry her?  :: Nods to the woman next to him::
Host Amber says:
::obviously slightly disturbed, rests he hand gently on her husbands arm and visually relaxes slightly::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
K'Tara: Because we desired to be together.
K`Tara says:
CO: But why her?  Why not... why not say another?  Why do you not have any children?  She says you do not.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
K'Tara: We do not have children because I do not feel that the starship life under a Commanding Officer is conducive to properly raising an offspring.
Host Amber says:
::speaks up:: K'Tara: Why do you want to know this? What difference does it make to you?!
K`Tara says:
CO: Why not go home and... :: Pauses as anger flashes through her.  Her voice rough again with that anger:: Amber: That is none of your business.  I will ask the questions here.  Though if you find a problem with being quiet, I know a simple way of rectifying that problem.  :: Her finger lightly traces the trigger of her weapon.::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
K'Tara: Violence is not an answer, or a solution.
K`Tara says:
CO: You are wrong.  It is sometimes the only way to get what you want.  :: Sighs::  Would you miss your first officer?  I mean truely miss her?  :: Her voice lowers:: Or would you just put in a request for another one.
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
K'Tara: I have come to depend upon the viewpoints and input of my first officer.  She could not be replaced, even if a new Executive Officer was assigned.
K`Tara says:
CO: What would you do to get her back?
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
K'Tara: I will do what is required to get her back without further endangering her or an away team in a significant manner.
K`Tara says:
:: Pushing away from the wall, she walks closer to the table:: CO: Would you trade another for her?  :: Reaches out the hand with the weapon, and lightly lays it along the womans shoulder, pointed at Savar.  Her other hand reaches down to her waist::
Host Amber says:
::tries to edge away from the women, but doesn't get very far::
Host CO_Capt_Savar says:
K'Tara: No, I would not trade.  Every life is valuable.
K`Tara says:
:: Whispers in her ear:: Amber: Be still... very still... and you might get to see tomorrow.  However, you will not see him again.  Say good-bye to your loving husband.
K`Tara says:
CO: But some are more valuable then others...  ::Taps the control at her waist::

ACTION: With a grim smile set on her face the women and the Captains wife vanish, leaving him alone in the room
