The Valiant, in all her glory, sat in her berth at DS9. After the mess with the Lemures, Rianna was still smelling the residual odor left behind. No matter what she did, or used, the stench was still there. Could it be that it was all made up in her mind? Sure but why? Curtis had been busy as always so it left her to tinker with the engineering systems of the Valiant. Rianna wanted to make the Defiant class go just a tad faster than the normal specs allowed, so she had to do several new computations of variances in the intermix chamber, simulations of course. To do so otherwise would be a disaster and totally out of the question.

As she was working out the variances, her thoughts drifted back to when she and Curtis met and how wonderful it was to have someone in their life. Who knew the reasons for the fates to bring them together but it happened and most needed in a crisis situation. She was good at giving advice and saying the right things to give hope and center those in need. It was an endearing quality that a lot of people didn't normally have.

Rianna loved her ship and would give her life if it were to save her. Yet it would not have been the first time she had ever done so. Three times she wound up getting wounded for her lady. The unseen scars were there and so was the trauma but still she moved on to keep the Valiant running.

To be continued…...
