ON
For well over fifty years, Luktra tr'Fyrs'tk, has lived in exile from his homeworld of ch'Rihan (Romulus). He was once a proud warbird commander, but for the sake of the Empire, and possible embarrassments they would have to face, he accepted the exile. He fell in love with a Terran woman, settled in the Sol system, and had two sons. He even changed his last name so his sons would not have to fear about being called Romulan spies. Only a very few in the Empire knew the truth of his exile. It was by his own mother's request, a very powerful woman in Rihannsu politics, that he finally agreed to act in the best interests of the empire he loved.
In all that time, he never lost contact with the Empire. He knew full well of things going on. On this morning, he was sitting at the computer, reading the latest proceedings of the Senate. He read over Ambassador Spock's speech, then sat back in his chair.
"They'll never listen," Luktra said aloud.
"Listen to what, dear," Jessica Fyrstk, his beloved Terran wife asked him. She set a fresh cup of coffee in front of him.
Luktra recanted Spock's speech to his wife. She listened intently. She could see, and understood her husband's frustration. For the longest time, she wondered why he cared so much about the empire. The very ones who turned their backs on this good man. Luktra had never told her the full tale, until recently. When the full tale was finally revealed to her, including the involvement of her own son and his ship, she understood why.
"We could contact Starfleet," Jessica suggested.
"I am certain they know, already, e'lev. I am just not sure what they can and or will do about it."
"What can we even do about it?" Jessica asked. Her own frustration was mounting, just worrying about her husband. "We only have the old passenger shuttle, and that will never make it to the Empire."
Luktra thought long and hard. His wife was correct. There wasn't much he could do about it, but then thought of someone who could. He turned to his wife and offered a smile.
