<DIV>~~Toravek Bridge~~</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Tal made sure they had fully cloaked before heading back home
to Romulus. They had heard of Bardeck's failure, although by the Orion's
jubilant expression, he clearly had not heard the news. So it was up to him and
Barel to break the bad news.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The two Romulan officers approached Bardeck. Bardeck said,"Hello
gentlemen. Well I imagine now that Capt. Finney and the others are dead or
dying. You must be very happy. When will my family be released?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alidar smiled an evil sort of smile. He replied,"Released? We only reward
agents who are successful, not failures like you Mr. Bardeck."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bardeck was taken aback and said,"What do you mean Barel? I poisoned the
ambassador and the Meridian's senior staff officers."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alidar held up his hand and answered,"Yes,yes we know you did. However,
there's just one problem, they didn't die. The Vulcans apparently had an
antidote to the poison. So, you failed." He signaled for the guards to take away
poor Bardeck. He said,"Dispose of this piece of trash."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Bardeck was pleading now. He said,"You can't blame me that they
didn't die. How was I to know about the antidote? What about my wife?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Alidar responded,"She will join you in your tragic airlock
accident."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Bardeck said,"No please spare her. What about my daughters, Tara and
Yamilla? What will you do to them?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Alidar laughed and said,"That's the wrong question Bardeck. The correct
question is, what won't we do with them?"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bardeck was screaming and begging by now. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A short time after the Toravek was able to safely de-cloak once more, Tal
received word that Bardeck and his wife Norai, had a tragic airlock accident. He
shook his head, Tal could only hope that he'd get to face the Meridian in combat
sometime soon.</DIV>
