“I am here for you Julien. Professionally and personally. I am here to help catch a killer. Other details I can’t quite trust. I will talk more to Stark when I can.”

“Oh good, we share that mission? Marc Price, the one who killed the former counselor? It makes sense to place you here to help in that, it’s part of my mission too, but of course you knew that, being a CIO in reality and all… I have to say I’m really eager to find him, but even more the Conclave that’s probably behind him. They’ve messed with my life, they messed with… many people’s lives. They supplied the weapon’s to the rogue Klingon’s who destroyed my brother on that godforsaken colony, Marishka.” he said fiercely.

Marihska paused and smiled.

“I have a totally unrelated question. Why would Commander Nightstalker say I remind him of a Voodoo Priestess?”

Marihska was clearly teasing him now but wondered what the answer might be anyway.

That made Julien laugh. “Did he now. tut tut, he has a wife you know. The tiny counselor. But nobody is immune against your charms my love.” he said and just had to kiss her again, she just tasted so good.

• Julien

Marishka understood a lot at that moment. Things were falling into place even though she couldn’t see the whole puzzle. Right now, responding to Julien was aobut as far as her intellect got her.

“Besides, Caitians have a very good sense of smell, only he can’t switch it off like I can.” Julien said tapping the side of his nose.

“So why don’t you tell me why you’ve changed your hair and eye colour love. Not that I mind, it looks exotically beautiful, but I don’t mind which colours you wear.” he pulled her closer into him and brought his lips to her ear “I love you for your fierce-and-loving nature.”

Marishka sighed.

“Stark’s wife has nothing to fear from me. I can’t help but play a good game in public but she has his heart and I don’t want it. I have this strange sense that she’s a very intelligent woman to be mated with him in the first place. I don’t think some silly little girl could hold his interest.”

She smiled and shifted position slightly to look into Julien’s eyes as she ran her long nails through his hair.

“After everything that’s happened over the last few months I decided I just needed a little change, as far as the hair and eyes go that is. Besides, I have a feeling this position will require a lot of my Orion skill set and these colors bring out the green in my skin.”

Marishka paused, not wanting to be too serious but she was curious about what he’d been up to for the last six months also.

“So how did you wind up here my love?” she asked.

• Marishka

He shrugged and for a moment there was pain in his eyes when he said “The Genesis had a new Captain by the time I felt I could leave Zahara again with a good concience. Flavia’s early days when she was physically attached to her mother were over, so La’kia was able to use members of her Kija as babysitters for Flavia and A’naad - that’s the usual child raising custom on Zahara anyhow, the tribe takes care of the kids together, the role of the mother remains important but few Zaharan children even know who their father is. In that it’s a more matriarchal society.” he chuckled. “They will be in for a few surprises with my kids, they are half human after all and A’naad has many vivid memories of living on a Starship, but the truth is they don’t need me as much as human children would.”
He smiled a sad smile. “Calvin got promoted to Captain. Imagine that, the former COS, now the Captain. I’m sure he’ll do a great job as long as Riley is there to handle the more diplomatic missions…” he sighed and gave Marishka puppy-dog eyes. “I miss them horribly.” he admitted.

“I simply put myself out there for a new assignment and Ghubari requested me for an undercover mission. As you know I’ve been undercover and working for Intel before, and at least I knew Ghubari well, so I accepted. I didn’t feel ready for another command anyhow.”

Marishka listened closely and watched Julien’s face as he spoke. Through the sadness and puppy dog eyes he still looked amazing to her.

It was unfair how a man could do that. she thought, Show a little bit of age as a male in most species and you’re considered wise, at least from the outside.

“Yes, I knew Calvin had become Captain and I decided we might not have a good working relationship even if I could have gotten back on time. That wouldn’t be fair to him or the rest of the crew. Oh Julien, I miss Riley like a brother. I couldn’t even bear to say goodbye, plus I didn’t really have the time.”

She paused fro a moment sorting her next words with a bit of care.

“I am glad you were there on Zahara. I don’t think you would have had it any other way.” she said quietly.

• Marishka

He simply nodded and for a moment their embrace felt a bit more like him clinging to her than anything else. He quickly recovered from his mood though, used to force himself away from weakening emotions, and refocused on her with renewed vigour, a smile creeping back on his lips.

“So now it’s your time to spill. What have you been doing in this time? Did somebody look at you the wrong way who you’d like to have killed?” he asked, intending it to be a joke, but he couldn’t quite hide the touch of posessiveness in his undertone.
