" Come on keep pushing," Xalanth yelled into the comms as he and his security team chased after the fleeing pact stay behind troops through the station's upper cargo bay. The two had been caught messing with one of the ship's main terminals and he wasn't going to let them get away.

They only had one casualty and that was due to some dumb ensign called Mariner. How's she'd gotten ahold of a phaser was something that would have to be investigated later. Now she'd be spending the next few days in the cells.

A disrupter blast shot past his head missing him, but hitting one of his team in the chest. " look after him." he yelled to the reaming member of his team as he returned fire hitting one of the pact saboteurs in the shoulder. The two dashed into one of the cargo bays with the lizard in hot pursuit.

A phaser blast smashed into the already hit pact trooper sending him crashing to the ground. The other wheeled around firing his disrupter catching the lizard in the hand.

With a scream, Xalanth drooped his phaser, but with the training and survival instinct that could only come from one of his worlds stayed on his feet as his undamaged hand made for his fang knife.

There was a crush as the pact trooper smashed into him there enhanced armor equaling his own strength as the two engaged in a furious hand to hand battle.

With a crash, they both fell to the floor. As Xalanth staggered to his feet the pact trooper jumped onto him wrapping their legs around his neck. Xaanths hand reached for his knife as.....

Wait that smell...

That smell he knew it better than any other smell. It was his own musk that his kind would put on their mates. it was nearly impossible to get rid off and impossible for any other species to smell.

" Fulvia?" he wheezed through his constricted neck?

The pact trooper paused before slightly realizing her leg grip. Taking one last look at her companion to make sure he was unconscious she opened her helmet.

Xalanth could tell it was his mate even with the heavy modifications to her face to make her look romulan. A smile spread over her face as she looked down at him. Without saying a word she leaned down and kissed the side of his face.

" Hello, Xalnath. You have no idea how good it is to see you. " She said in an altered version of her terra Roma accent.

" Likewise. You could have said it was you before you shot me."

" Can't i still have a mission to fulfill." came her reply as a look of sadness on her face. " I'm sorry, but i shouldn't even be talking to you."

" Hey i know you my love you'd only break cover if you thought i was in danger." the lizard said running his finger along her cheek."

" The pact has something they left on the station. Something in their top priority files that even the stay-behind agents don't know about it. The team was left here to collect it and link up with a cloaked ship that's coming for them. "

" Why break cover to tell me this surely your hander could...." Xalanth began to reply before a finger on his mouth silenced him.

" becuse we have someone else broadcasting out to someone from inside the federation fleet. There using Romulan republic channels so it's most likely them. "

A noise from the other pact trooper made both of them look." I have to go. I'm sorry my love. I'll make it up to you later I promise." Fulvia replied as she closed her helmet and increased the pressure on Xalanths neck as she fired her disrupter into his chest.

For the nova roman it felt like her heart had been split into two as she saw her lovers eyes close. Even if her suits sensors told her he was okay her heart felt shattered in two.
