======================================
"Thoughtful Planning"
(Previous Post: Sabrina's 'Breakfast')
======================================

Stardate: 60321.0600
Setting: TANGIER'S ORBITAL, 7th Floor, Brell's Quarters

David sat on the bed with a chain in his hand with a dangling piece of jewerly on it. It was a circle with a spinning centerpiece to it and when it was spun showed the initals D.D. and J.D. David remembered when his little brother made that for him when he was in the 4th grade... it was a reminder that not only were they brothers, but friends forever. His blood had been boiling all night, for the former CEO of the Federation starship ANUBIS didn't sleep but studied the images of Gul Zulot and T'Preel. From what little live feed he was able to retrieve, he studied their movements, their swagger and the more he watched, the more his hatred for them grew. The massive engineer stood and walked across the floor to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. As he brought up the light, the reflection scared him. His reflection's eyes were bloodshot with red rings around the hazel irises.

**Well... well... well... its about time you realized that you can not escape me**

"Leave me alone" David hissed, rubbing his temples.

**I'm sorry... but rubbing your temples *won't* make me go away. We are one David, but I see that you're tired... let me take care of you...**

"I know the damage you're capable of!" David grumbled, "so why should I?"

**REVENGE!** his reflection bellowed, **that's the name of the game isn't it?! They killed *our* brother...**

"Don't you dare!" David said hotly, "Jordan was *my* brother, not yours!"

**David, David, David. When will you learn? What is yours is mine. *MY* parents are dead, *MY* brother is dead... and *we* have a way and means to eliminate the sons a bitches who did this! But in order for that to happen, you *must* let go and let me...**

"NO!" David snapped, "I will not! Leave me the hell alone!" he said as he spun away from the mirror, but could still hear the voice in his head.

**Try as you may, I *will* have my day in the sun David. It is inevitible!**

"Not if I have anything to do with it" the CEO said as he put on his vest and left his quarters, remembering his 'meeting' he had to attend.

========================
Stardate: 60321.0850
Setting: TANGIERS ORBITAL, 1st Floor, Triple Diamond Conference Lounge

Kreedar Brell, aka Lieutenant David Dawson entered the lounge and spotted an Andorian and Orion woman enjoying each other's company from a distance. As he made his way to the buffet table, David heard the voice of Commander Rikar.

=/\= Good morning Mr. Brell... you're looking *very* handsome this morning =/\=

David made a few selections and scratched his bald head above his right ear and touched his dermal comm badge.

"Very funny Commander" the former CEO replied, "and where's the rest of your clothes?"

=/\= She's playing the part Lieutenant =/\= the voice of Captain James Simmons he heard next, =/\= very well I might add. =/\=

=/\= Thank you Captain =/\= Siltrish replied and smiled as the CEO took his seat.

=/\= So... care to fill the ExO in on what you discovered Lieutenant? =/\= James said as took a bite of some Bajoran Kava fruit.

David explained what he found, what he heard and Sabrina listened with mixed emotions. She was shocked, and above all surprised.

=/\= So... you're telling me they killed Jordan? And their planning on killing James? =/\= the ExO asked.

=/\= Killed Jordan yes... killing the captain I'm not sure of... but they *are* going to pay. =/\=

=/\= Lieutenant =/\= the CO of the ANUBIS said, =/\= remember our conversation. =/\=

David glared at his CO. =/\= I haven't forgotten it. =/\=

=/\= So..what's next?=/\= Sabrina asked.

=/\= We wait... for the rest of the senior staff and compare notes... =/\= and James looked at David and could see and feel the hatred and anger pouring off the engineer.

=/\=In time David... we'll see them brought to justice=/\= Sabrina said as she placed her hand on top of his.

**Time...** David heard in his head, **there's none like the present** he heard and a sinister laugh to go along with it.
