Act One, Scene Three

[Akirapryde]

Gul Bolon shifted his eyes right to V'rol and glared at the Vulcan, "It was against everything that I wanted. Killing her even like this was too merciful than she EVER deserved!" He said stepping forward with anger in his eyes. But there was something else as well. It was that twitch in this motor functions once more.

At this close range, V'rol could see the Gul looking beyond the force field. But now, it was clear that he was not concerned about the Klingons who were watching the interview with great care. No, the focus of the Gul's sight was the Starfleet Security Office who seemed largely disinterested in what was going on. The Lieutenant glanced up every once in a while, but beyond that didn't seem to care of the interview or the Gul himself. V'rol sensed the fear and panic from the Gul in that moment.

Gul Bolon backed up some from the force field, "Failure? Yes, it was a failure" he admitted softly as he tried to remain clam. It was a effort for him, but with an eye beyond the force field he held his composure. Barely though. "In death, she denied me that last piece of information. In my dreams she laughs at my failure. But I had no choice. Time was no longer on our side." He turned back to the two female Doctors for a moment then back to V'rol. "She tasked me one last time! I had no choice but to disobey.....to try."

He paused a moment as he scanned the room. "Why" he asked walking up to the force field and looking beyond it to the security station. "Why did she have to die" he asked almost as if he was sincerely confused by her death. He turned once more to V'rul, "You know. Tell me. Why did I have to kill her."

To the telepaths of the room, his emotions regarding Major MacConnell are conflicted. He hated her like no other being in the Galaxy. Now that she is gone, he is left empty. Her death has created a void within him that nothing can refill. He holds no guilt over her death. It could be even suggested that in his hate for her, he needed her to have that fulfillment in his life. There is no doubt that killing her was something he did only because he truly felt he had no choice. His anger over what she denied him in death consumes his thoughts. But there is something else. His emotions are on a roller coaster and his thoughts are like a train wreck. Despited his best efforts to control them, he can't focus or control them.

He turned to V'rol and lunged at the Vulcan security officer. The easily blocked attack was stopped by V'rol. V'rol grappled both of Bolon's wrists rendering any possible future attack as impossible. Despite the clearly disadvantage situation, the Gul struggled and Gul spat, "WHY! I told you everything she knew. WHY FORCE ME TO KILL HER!"

On that the force field was dropped and a pair of Klingons pulled Bolon back. With Gul Bolon locked in their grip, the leader of the Klingons looked to V'rol for instructions. The Starfleet Lieutenant looked up from his station with his hand on the console ready to trigger an alarm.
