Day 1
Location: Romulan Bird of Prey
"Klingon, you have no honor! You should not have done what you did, and now we will cause you much pain for your actions!" A Romulan commander spoke with a gritty low spoken voice, and harsh tone. K'Tag was confined in a small space. He was fed no meals and beaten daily.
"I would rather have this death than the one Starfleet will give to you for this actions, against them."
"Oh... Klingon what you don't know. The Romulan empire is on the brink of total domination of this entire sector. Your precious Starbase will soon be ours."
"You will never take 901 by force." K'Tag knew it was possible, but wanted to put a fear in this Romulans mind.
"We will get the base. It will depend how valuable your life is to them. They give us the base, we will release you... If they fail to give the Star Empire what it deserves we will take our vengeance upon you, Klingon." The Romulan turned and left the room. Soon after, what K'Tag had nicknamed the "beat team" entered the room, to give today's punishment for insubordination.
Day Two
Location: SB901
Claire stepped onto the command deck of Starbase 901. The deck was finally pieced back together again. Cadet N'Garen was filling the empty tactical station, normally filled by her father. It was an odd sight and a complete coincidence, she had been on the base at the right time.
Claire had attempted to contact the Star Empire, but had no luck. She missed her new boyfriend, if you could call them that. She never felt so alone. She had contacted her mother's ship, who was patrolling the Romulan border, but they had not seen the bird of prey the base had encountered. She was beginning to lose hope.
Day 2
Location: Aboard a Klingon Bird of Prey in the Briar Patch
The Klingon crew silently buzzed across the Briar Patch, in search of their missing ex-captain. They felt an honor to K'Tag and his house, not to liberate him, but rather to avenge his death or capture, whatever they encountered, once they located the Romulan Warbird.
Day 4
Location: SB 901
Two days had passed, and finally the Star Empire was in contact with O'Malley and the Federation. Claire stepped onto the Command deck.
"Captain, I have begun negotiation with the Romulan Empire, but they are requesting an odd trade." Mallory looked in shock, and the two went to the Captain's readyroom to discuss this hard negotiation.
Day 6
Location: Romulan Warbird
K'Tag was barely breathing by his sixth day in confinement. He was beaten to a bloody, mangled body, and was beginning to lose all hope for rescue. He knew Starfleet was not going to trade the base for his life. It was funny--what he believed in most, would become the logic of his death. A decision he couldn't influence at all. He only had one hope...Starfleet's best negotiation officer was overseeing this exchange.
