<USS Avalon> Repairs - Part 2

Repairs - Part 2
By Lieutenant Junior Grade Diana Winters
 
Diana sat on the floor looking at some isolinear chips, thinking of how to 
fix the situation.  She paused, but didn’t look up, because she felt like she 
was being watched.  The suit hadn’t registered anything out of the ordinary.  
Slowly she turned to see a man standing there watching her.  He was not in a 
Starfleet uniform, and didn’t look like any member of the two crews that she 
had 
met.
 
“I am Hirshell Rutter Latha of the Yoloron.”
 
Diana seemed at ease, even though this was probably the being that killed the 
crew, “Lieutenant Diana Winters, Acting Chief Engineer of the USS 
Allegiance.”
 
“Pleasure to meet you.  Are you alone?”
 
“Yes”, she became a little worried.
 
“I do not mean to frighten your kind, but we need you.”
 
“Need us, but for what reason?”
 
“To stay alive, no that’s not right, to not become extinct”, the being 
was 
visibly shaken at this point.
 
Diana thought she understood, “You wish to breed, then, but you can not find 
a comparable mate.”
 
The being nodded, “That is correct.”
 
“So, am I your next try for compatibility?”  Diana looked at her 
chronometer, ‘0900’ she thought, ‘they’d just be wondering where she 
was.’
 
The being nodded to Diana, who nodded back.  She closed her eyes as the being 
turned back to liquid and entered her.
 
Her body fell to the floor, but it wasn’t lifeless.  Together, Diana and the 
Being, bound together as one.
