“What would you like to do now?” asked the green-scaled Ziame from his seat behind the giant desk. Thorin had propped himself up against a wall somewhere and after he’d showed his Captain and Abbigail the footage hadn’t said much else. I could tell he was bristling with tension like a live wire.

I wasn’t sure myself what exactly I wanted, but having actual video evidence of something heinous going on with this trading mission… That was something right? Who were in those pods? I doubted they’d be volunteers and both Ziame and Thorin had been convinced that Drameil was not the type to welcome a batch of humans out of the goodness of his heart. Likely, these people were destined for some form of slavery.

I shrugged, I needed to do the right thing and try to stop this trade from happening, free these people. But how? With the footage, if I could get it to the Alpha Quadrant and in the hands of several independent media stations that might help. Public outrage could well put a stop to it, and certainly the people back on Earth and the colonies deserved to know what was going on. What exactly the mighty UAR was up to.

Fear for my family back home held me back though. Would the UAR retaliate and harm them? Would airing this information make it a pointless target? I really didn’t know what was the right move. But I did know that doing nothing at all was the worst kind of choice I could make.

“Is there any way to reach the Alpha-Quadrant with a communication? I think I need to make sure this footage is shown to everyone.” Yes, that felt good. I think my dad would agree with me that doing the right thing was the best choice, even if it put our family at risk. That didn’t mean I wasn’t scared.

Thorin shifted against the wall, his green eyes fierce and angry as he stared at the datapad lying on the desk in front of Ziame. “And can we find out where they’re meeting Drameil to do this trade?” he demanded, fists clenched against his hips. Ready for combat right now. I understood his desire to strike back at the male that had caused him, and the others, so much suffering.

Abigail leaned forward to tap something on the screen embedded in the big desk, “Ziame has located a contact that might be able to help us with this.” She twisted to look at her mate as if to check if it was okay and when he nodded she continued with a smile. “When Ziame was first captured by Drameil, he was part of an escape attempt that resulted in the freedom of three people. One of them is a human pilot that ran from UAR space.”

Interested, I leaned forward in my chair so I could see what information she’d pulled up. Though the woman had not grown up with the kind of technology used aboard this ship, or any of its equivalents like I had, she had certainly gotten very handy with it.
