"They won't be coming back for a while," Pike looked over his shoulder to watch as a few Starfleet security guards lead the injured Supreme Leader of the S'Keeran's onto a prison ship. Two of them had to hold her still from trying to rip away and flee back into the mountains of S'Keeran territory.
The Supreme Leaders daughter had been found stranded, trying to heal the dying dragon, but to Starfleets surprise a S'Keeran had stopped the daughter. Only to find out this woman had been the one who'd saved Issac from bleeding out. Shocked to say the least was what Pike had been in that moment.
The young nineteen year olds name was Armani. It had taken a bit for others to get used to the fact she had a robotic eye. But she proved to valuable into keeping everybody's eyes on the S'Keeran law and how it had drifted away.
She stood a bit farther away from Pike, watching as the former leader of the S'Keerans boarded. She'd been gifted with new clothes by Senator Aimee, who had became Pike's personal favorite S'Keeran leader. But Armani barely made eye contact unless if it was needed.
She was young, too young to have faced such danger, but many people were young here. Standing there silently in her knew brown leather vest, colorful pants and shirt. Contrasting with the bright yellows of Pike and Una's Starfleet uniforms.
"That'll be for certain captain," Una nodded, looking towards the S'Keeran mountains that had been clouded by a slight greenish mist, "But the question is how can we keep on the S'Keeans without making it seem like we are a threat?"
Una looked over to see where her captain was staring, wondering what was on his mind. She always knew he had a plan brimming in his mind. After all these years of serving him, she knew exactly how his brain worked.
"Good point," Pike nodded, "Leaving them alone could cause mutinies and other treacheries."
His eyes glanced over towards the young S'Keeran once more. Studying her as if a new idea had appeared in his head. It could be reckless, but he really didn't have much of a choice or options to who he could pick.
She had been the only S'Keeran to have survived standing up to the Supreme leader. Taking out a blood dragon wasn't easy, but she'd done almost the impossible. She fit every category of responsibility and royalty in his opinion.
"Armani?" Pike called to her.
The young S'Keeran immediately looked up confused by his sudden words, "Yes, Captain Pike?
"I was wondering if I could ask you a favor?" Pike asked.
"A favor, sir?" Armani walked up to meet his eyes.
The two were the same height, which was easy for Pike not to look down on her. Her black and blue eyes meeting his. It was slight silence before Pike cleared his throat to speak.
