*Veronica Tate's Ship: Dark Phoenix*
Veronica watched as her ship caught up to Bishop's while cloaked. This vessel she spent some time and latinum building. Its shields, weapons, and even its cloaking device, the products of her great mind. Apparently Bishop had changed ships several times, Trying to evade capture, but he was still Cragen's man. He kept up the business. It was the only thing Bishop knew.
Arrianna looked at her crew of freed slaves, men and women who shared her hatred of slavers. They had their uses. If they were angry, she had to keep them angry in order for them to serve her purposes. "Open a channel."
Bishop's ship named Bishop's Gambit after its predecessor the King's Gambit hung in space it was moving casually at low warp. Its cloaking device engaged.
"I see you Micheal Bishop...." The familiar voice noted. "Do you see me? Today your life ends. Today the sum of a life ill-spent is worth exactly... Zero." Veronica noted. She waved her hand and her ship fired almost two dozen probes that took place around her ship and Bishop's ship, Each probe projected a web of tachyons around a large area. The Tachyon Probes also created a dampening field that made warp drive useless. It was then that a ship began to decloak. It was a Romulan Scimitar.
Bishop heard the voice and knew who it was instantly, and he answered, "Do you Flossie? I knew you would come searching for me and you didn't disappoint. Always so reliable." He said using her old slave's name. "Or should I call you Arri?" His voice seeming unconcerned by his ship's present situation. "As to my life ending today, I think not. I believe you have underestimated me and my abilities." As he spoke Bishop's Gambit exploded in a blinding flash as a million pieces of debris flew toward Arri's ship and in its place a Jem'Hadar Dreanought now appeared. "As you can see, I've upgraded my ship as well." He spoke easily, in a conversational way as if speaking to an old friend.
"Shall I show you what my ship can do?" Bishop asked as his shields were up, weapons charged, ready to fire phased polaron pulses at Arri's ship. "Or shall we talk, like old friends perhaps even lovers?" He proposed.
"And why would I do that?" Arrianna noted. "You simply want me in your torture chamber again. If I do so, I will inform my crew to destroy you if they do not hear from me in five minutes."
Bishop laughed. "You could try Arri but I would recommend it. "I confess I would like to see that magnificent body of your again. Plus, there is another reason, I think you would want to talk." Bishop answered cryptically.
Veronica stared at him a moment and then left the bridge. "Kholar, you are in command until I return." She left the bridge, after a few moments. A hologram of Veronica appeared on the bridge. "Speak." She noted.
Bishop stared at her. "To a hologram?" He shrugged his shoulders. "As you wish. I have a surprise I think you would be interested in."
"I hate surprises, but very well." Arrianna noted. "Show me your surprise, and we'll just see how much it improves the quality of your life in a few minutes."
Bishop was silent for a few seconds then spoke. "You used to like surprises. I guess you have changed... at least a little. As to my surprise....." His image disappeared to be replaced by that of Josephine Carlye in a stasis tube. "Do you recognize her Arri?"
"Where did you find her!!!" Arrianna stated.
"Ah. That would be telling. I like having some secrets. Point is I have her."
Arri spoke. "She was supposed to live peacefully with her daughter. Living I life I could never give her." Veronica noted. "I could not have her, but I could have revenge.. It was a cold comfort."
"And I went and screwed up those plans. I am sorry." He commented but clearly wasn't. " That's the way it goes. Think you have everything worked out and voila! A monkey wrench screws up those plans."
"What did you do to her, Bishop? I swear if you destroyed her again, my wrath will be upon you." Arri noted.
Bishop's voice got hard. "Don't threaten me, Arri. As to what I did to Josie, not thing. She is merely asleep. Would you like to come over and say hello?" He paused and continued. "Oh Arri? Don't think of beaming Josie out. Her tube is surrounded by a scattering field to make transport impossible and if that wasn't enough if I detect an attempt to beam her out, her tube is set to decompress, killing her instantly."
"What do you want from me, for you to set her free? I am no longer the woman she knew.. Nor will I ever be again." Arri vanished and a few minutes later, she beamed onto the Bridge."
"What do I want? Let's see. I want you to leave me and my business alone. I want you to beam over here and be my masterpiece once again. Oh, and I'd like a really good pastrami sandwich."
She walked up and placed her hand the chamber near Josephine's cheek. She tapped her companel. "Kholar. I will beam aboard a stasis chamber, You will take her back to Earth... And protect her. I will remain here. Do as I command, Kholar." She noted as she stared at Bishop.
"Oh no, no, no. Not yet. I'll say when Josie can be beamed over. Isn't there something you are forgetting Flossie?"
Arrianna looked at him and then began to take off her jacket, Dropping her disruptor.
"That's a start. Keep going." Bishop replied his eyes on her.
She began to unzip her leather pants. Sliding them down.
"Yes, very good Flossie, I see you remember, keep going."
She pulled her shirt off until all that was left was her bra and panty. She instantly slid her panty down and then finally her bra. Flossie had returned, now she had to mentally become her.
"Magnificent." Bishop stated at seeing Arri's nude body once again. He moved to a footlocker and withdrew a pair of security handcuffs and tossed them to Arri. "Behind your back and rachet them down tightly."
