Posted by Civilian Kara Nakuto (Civilian, Former CO) in Ready Room -Nakuto goes in search of Akorem
Almost a week had passed since the darkness had receded, depositing its former captive, wounded and confused, at the heart of the USS Viking. The days since her return had passed in a frenzy of food, bloodwine, healing, catching up with old friends…and avoiding Commander Akorem.

She was no longer in charge here. Captain Kara Nakuto had been stripped of her command and her vessel and left as empty and barren as the DuHoH Desert. They had allowed her to keep her title as a final mockery. A captain without a ship. Without a post or remit or singular reason to continue her existence.

And yet still she was trapped on this godsforsaken ship. A spectator. A silent observer, impotent and irrelevant, doomed to watch another at the helm of her ship, at the head of her crew.

And he had allowed it to happen. Akorem Nevin. Her second in command. Her right hand. Her ally. He had stepped back and waved another into her seat. Had he relished the opportunity to be rid of her? Had he been involved in the planning of such a mutiny? It was a conversation that Kara had no desire and yet an all-consuming need for it to take place. And now, finally, she felt her strength sufficiently restored to take on the task.

Marching towards the ready room, her body still shaking off the weakness but her confidence almost fully returned, Nakuto attacked the doorchime with such vigour as to almost leave a dent.

“Commander Akorem,” she roared through the metal barrier blocking her entrance. “Are you in there?”

“Enter,” Nevin said. The last week had been strange. Not only was he temporarily in command due to Ravenfall’s medical condition, but he had heared talk that Nakuto was back. The Viking did strange things to people, and Nevin had initially dismissed the reports as halloucinations. It wouldn’t have been the first time this had happened. When he heard her voice booming at the door, he considerred if he had dropped asleep at the desk.

He rose from the seat at the Captain’s side. “Enter,” he said and waited for the doors to part and the doors parted allowing light to spill into the dimly lit room.

The decor of the room was different to how Nakuto had it, but it most definately wasn’t Nevin’s style. Because of his once again temporary residence, Nevin had not changed anything. Even Captain Ravenfall’s name plate was still on the desk. The only addition was a set of two of Nevin’s family photos. One showing Antos, Nevin along with Nevin’s Cardassian foster parents and the other was of Nevin & Tara - a copy of which Antos had taken with him to the counsellor.

Seeing Nakuto’s sillouhette at the door, Nevin was beginning to think he truly was goiong mad…
