Kivon smiled, it wasn’t a happy smile, it was an angry one. “You left us, you abandoned us. The Borg came and destroyed everything. It’s your fault. You could have stopped them. I watched as my family was killed or assimilated. Now I get to watch you go through all the pain and agony that we went through, That I went through.” He sneared. “You see, I’ve found your secret, and I’m going to use it against you and your pitiful little friends here. And in the end, you get to watch, powerless as your little girlfriend here gets assimilated by the Borg. Just as I watched my wife do the same.”

Stark wasn’t letting that one go, he’d seen people assimilated by the Borg. “Causing others pain won’t lessen yours, you psychopath, but by all I hold dear I will create pain for you the likes of which you never dreamed existed if you sacrifice anyone to the Borg to fulfil your sick dreams! Now let me go so I can rip your face off!”.

Orvos was silent for a solid minute. It was the quietest, likely anyone had heard him be. Slowly he spoke again, but with emphasis on every word spoken. “My wife and children died at the hands of the borg. I’ve already seen this happen. You would dare to subject other people to such a thing as what we went through?” He paused and gave rise to his voice. “You’re hardly a man, let alone an El Aurian if you honestly go through with something like this.”

He allowed his mind to attempt to reactivate the drone via the device attached to his temple. He had no idea if it would work, let alone if Kivon would try to freeze it too. And in a side thought, tucked away neatly in his mind, so as not to distract him, he had noticed his use of the word girlfriend…in reference to Janna? Did he think…? Well, that was why it was safely tucked away. He needed to think clearly. And taking out the threat was of utmost importance, one way or another.

For Janna, her instinct was to flee, but of course she couldn’t. Frozen in place, she could do nothing but observe and speak, but what could she say? She had been momentarily thrown off by Kivon’s assertion that her and Orvos were somehow involved, since while they clearly enjoyed each other’s company there had been nothing remotely of a romantic tone to their interactions. But right now was not the time to think over any of that, clearly. But it was certainly better than thinking about the threat made to turn her over to the Borg. That was one way to not have to worry about her haemophilia, but hardly desired!

As her two companions asserted their intention to stop Kivon, Janna found herself reflective, and also distracted.
