Brystal's communicator had begun going off violently as she had reached the bridge elevator. Her left hand immediately shot down and grabbed the communicator, "Commander Pike here, how can I-"
"Stay down there, Brystal!" Jim's hushed voice came through the communicator. His voice sounded frantic and nothing like she'd ever heard him like before. As though he cleared needed her to keep a low profile.
All the noice around her seemed to clog out as she tried to figure out what was going on. Why was he so concerned about her coming up there? Didn't he just ask for her to come up to the bridge?
What the hell was going on? Now he seemed almost desperate for her to stay down there.
That's when she heard a voice, "Who are you talking to Mr. Kirk?"
Marcus.
All the words suddenly went dry in Brystal's throat. Khan had warned her of Marcus, and yet she hadn't expected this to happen so soon. No wonder he said Callius was right not to be deceived by Marcus.
She immediately kept that communicator on and dialed the conversation to Callius. This sure would make him happy that there was now evidence of Marcus had been plotting something all these years.
Marcus needed Khan........just like he probably needed her.
"Admiral Callius," Admiral Hale stated just as she heard the audio start to play from everywhere within the admirals headquarters. Adeline Melrin and Cauis Lemuria were seated at a table planted with all sorts of technology.
Their screens plagued with the audio clips they had received from Brystal's communicator. It was like the watching the world burn around them. The admirals had brown angry at what they were hearing over the speakers.
"Yes?" Callius turned to Hale, his expression somber. He hid his delight for finally having at least something to show that Marcus was the fraud he'd always seen him as. Exposing the admrials secrets and flaws he'd left out.
He examined the brunette short haired Admiral. Her heels definitely made her eye level with Callous almost the same. He had to admire that she always seemed the cleanest looking.
"What is this?" Hale asked, simply, but he got right away what the meaning was.
"That's a piece of information we got from one of your favorite old pupils," Callius stated.
"Ms. Pike," Hale muttered under her breath, "What is Marcus doing out there threatening the Enterprise? Why the hell is he even in that territory?"
"Simple. He's been planning and scheming underneath our eyes. He is inevitably a traitor."
