Posted by Lieutenant Commander Zef Rollo (Counselor) in Officers Mess - Side Sim
Since Cochrane had sent word ahead of their arrival, the officers mess was empty and spotless. Harv was the only person present—just in case. Zef wondered what good a chef would be against a pirate, but she didn’t question the Captain. Besides, Kalig would arrive with a security detail, so there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. She scoffed at herself internally. How could she NOT worry when a man had traveled to the Delta quadrant to find her?

It had been almost seven years since she’d actually seen Kalig and she found herself wondering if he’d changed much. “Captain, I really don’t know why he’s here, but whatever the reason, it can’t be good. He’s the kind of man who rarely does something if there is nothing to be gained. He’s also very clever and a master of manipulation. I watched him interact with Broggs for years and even though they were brothers, there was constant competition and rivalry between them.”

Rollo paced a small area trying to work out some of her anxiety.

He watched her place and finally said “Then you better get yourself together, Counselor. If he is as you say, him seeing you like this will likely play into whatever he has in store for us.”
