“And you couldn’t have told me that I was needed on the bridge over comms?” Kord said with a quirky smile.

Glen had to stop himself from laughing out loud at this first lover’s tiff, as it would be quite unprofessional, but why had she called him down here only to send him away again?

Kord turned and left engineering.

Glen took a seat next to the console in Main Engineering. He took off the pack from his back and placed it on the ground between his legs. “I guess I’ll see you all on the other side then,” he said.

As he settled at the console beside her, Tia looked at him with a sly grin. “So what’s so funny you are holding back sharing?” She raised a curious eyebrow wondering why he had that look on his face.

“I was just wondering, like Kord was, why you asked him down here, only to send him back to the Bridge again,” Glen answered. “Can’t you get through the whole day without seeing him once or twice?”

Tia at least blushed. “We’re about to tamper with time AND space. And I apologize. You are right. I shouldn’t have asked him down here. But I needed to see him because we don’t know in a couple hours what will happen, or who will still be here when it’s done. It was selfish, I know. And again, I’m sorry. I guess another part of me wanted you to see him as well. You were sending him to the bridge the same as me. And if things go awry, I don’t want the last memories we have to be ones we had hours or days ago.” She hung her head slightly realizing it was probably the most unprofessional thing she had done in her entire career. And it ashamed her.

Daniel did a final system’s check and then turned to Tia. “..I will head for the cargo bay to monitor the start up of the device. When indicated I will need a stable warp bubble output of warp 8, while the device is running. From there things will go quickly and smoothly, provided the power supply remains stable. Before I leave do you have any last minute questions?” he asked.

Tia shook her head. “I can’t think of anything. I guess we need to just get it over with, so to speak.” She took a deep breath and exhaled. “Warp 8 on your call, Sir.” She nodded to Daniel. “Give me your mark and I’ll start running her up. Will take a moment to get to Warp 8,” she laughed slightly. “Just don’t wait and say Now when you need it.” She nodded to the door. “Good luck, Daniel.” And she meant it.
