: : : : : : : : Faye hid the startled feeling that came over her. She knew he wasn't talking about her (of course he wasn't), but the sentiment was one that very deep down she expected to have thrown her way and somehow she didn't expect it to go down very well.

: : : : : : : Mallory sighed inwardly "From what I understand, the person that you are looking for, was doing what she had been asked to do by the Nakajian that was killed. So I need to get a bit more of the story other than this person is a traitor." She explained "I want to hear both sides of the story, but breaking onto my ship is not a way to win friends and influence people."

: : : : : : The man scoffed, "She took the life of the intended consort of our Emperor. That is an act of treason. Furthermore, she is last of the Warhei line, that which was a weak line. Weak royal lines are not allowed to continue in Nakajian law. "

: : : Mallory looked at the man "Well see, here's my issue with the whole situation." She said leaning against one of the consoles "How do you know that your line is stronger? So the King allowed a mere general to take his throne, what if there was a reason for that?" She asked playing devil's advocate "What if he was looking for a way to bring about change without warring with others?" She asked.

: "You're an outsider!" shouted the man who had been speaking so far. He suddenly stopped. There was another smaller man who was glaring at him. The whole group just sat down in silence after that.

Mallory looked at Faye "Thank you for your help Lt." She looked at the men that had sat down "We'll let these nice folks just sit here and stew for a little while." Mallory left one of the security officers in charge "They even think about moving stun them." She said.

Mallory headed back to the Bridge, it was time to speak with their counterparts that were now in a stand off.
