To: Mr. Micheal Bishop
From: DATA ERROR RELAY 223__$##@

It took me a while to know why you held onto Josephine when she was useless to you, because you were making sure she had Kyle Cragen's child, and doubly making sure she wasn't aborted.You also knew Sephine wasn't good for Cragen. You logic is easy to understand with context. I am grateful you did not keep Sephine's programing intact. I would have had to kill you if she was Sephine, and you know I would have succeeded.

As he read the letter, Bishop knew instantly who it was from. Only one person was that tenacious to seek him out....Arrianna aka Flossie. His masterpiece of a slave. She had turned out be a work of perfection.


However, I have had time to recover from your torments as well. My crew had aided me in that. It took me some time to get the anger and torment out of my mind. To Scream it out and curse your employer with every fiber of my being. And yet you would still call me that hiddeous name. Do you want to know what I've learned about being a slave? You may just as well be something worse than a slave. Kyle Cragen is all you know Bishop. His ways is everything you've ever lived by. Well I'm done with Cragen, and I am done with you. I have had it with you.

For your sake, as well as Clara's. Never come before me and Josie again. Or I will kill you without pause and feel nothing.. If you don't believe me? Just ask Phoenix Lalor. If you come across her, she'll feel even less about ending your life.

As he read, he felt her anger and her conviction in what she said. However, he couldn't help but wonder if she was trying to convince him or herself with her show of bravado. Was she as the humans referred, 'Putting on a brave front?' He would never know for sure but chances were, she was.

However, the last vestiges of Flossie inside me valued your life and Clara's life. As hiddeous as it was. You must know this life of yours will lead to an early grave. Leave the underworld behind Mr. Bishop, nor for my sake... But for Clara's. You have made many enemies. Mostly me.. but also my Captain and crew. That vestige is now gone, You can thank the Elysium's crew for that.

Get out of the underworld, as if you do not.. You will die. And do not come before me and Josephine again. There will be no mercy from me for you.

I guarantee it.

Farewell, Micheal Bishop.

Bishop reread the letter, read the words, heard the anger behind the words. Heard the threat and he knew Arri meant it at least to herself. He personally didn't think she could kill him. He knew her that well. After all, he had taken the proud, defiant and angry Starfleet officer and stripped her naked, gagged and bound her and ultimately turned her into a slave. If she was here now, he would recondition her and remake her as a slave again. He idly wondered if he could do the same with Phoenix Lalor. He was sure he could. He filed the letter away and didn't think on it again. he had more pressing matters to attend to, such as avoiding Starfleet and others who wanted him dead.
