I went straight to my office aware that most of the crew were back aboard the bridge crew were on the ball and gave me live data as soon as I requested it. The repairs were all complete hat's of to Dak's I thought who had obviously made the repairs to the Sword a priority. I ordered a recall for the crew for that evening planning the next moves I wanted to make the fleet could learn a thing or two about intell as I gleaned the data I needed from our advanced sat's then we went hunting.
We got stretched I admit but Onamu came in with her resupply ship to support our actions as we jumped across the verse. Till at last we came again to Lasting vengeance the duke as he called himself had been putting the squeeze on the local sectors and that offended me for to many reasons to count,
We dealt with the nemesis patrol ships easily enough and got the Zeus to follow us all text book tuff as Gill had said to me at some point she turned to leave the bridge to join her team but I grabbed her arm.
"Not this time Gill I whispered Chak'tal can do it and you are in no condition for this you will be placing your people at risk".
She took that in but she did not like it and I expected to hear more about my decision later but she held her post giving Chak'tal and his men updates as we got them on the positions of the crew of the Zeus.
The Capture went forward as planned and we jumped back to Zyarth after retrieving our people the Chokaru and the raider signalling they would follow our lead.
"We jump for home" I told Stick leaving the bridge with Gill a pace behind me as I went back to our quarters.
I let her vent her anger at me ignoring the blows which hurt me much as it did her till she had got it out of her system.
"Hey" I said at last reaching for her Chak'tal made the call and you are not the only person he excluded from the mission Thalia got side lined as well and she is as unhappy about that as you are.
That stunned her Thalia was close to Gill in ways I could never be I knew that much.
"Oh my she said this is going to get complicated ". She reached for the console and asked Thalia to come up then took my hand and waited for her to arrive.
She was as angry as Gill was but she held it back a fact I was deeply appreciative of. Lord you requested my presence she asked simply and I noted the Split overtones that weighed in her words.
"I have a problem Thalia I conceded which my mate using the Split terms she seemed comfortable with has given to my attention, Chak'tal is my friend but I am told he has not offered you the grace of being his wife this distress's me and I would have the matter resolved".
"Then my Lord knows that Chak'tal will not make such a decision without your consent he has sworn himself to you above all else".
Was it that simple I asked myself "Then I would have the matter settled Thalia Chak'tal has my leave to do as his heart and yours see's fit I would not have him distracted".
Then with your permission Lord she said acknowledging my words and left us the room.
"That should be interesting" I said turning to Gill who still had not forgiven me for pulling her of operational duty but at least she had stopped using me for a punch bag. "Gill I know this is hard for you but you made a choice and now you carry our child and I will not put either of you in danger just as I know Chak'tal will not place Thalia in harms way in her condition.
You made a choice Gil one which honours me in ways I can't even begin to tell you" I took her hand then and placed it on my heart "Just let me do what I can to protect you and our child".
"You are not angry she asked simply that I chose this?"
"No startled Gill but never angry I love you and what ever choices you make are good for me a little warning would have helped I admitted brushing her cheek trying to put all the love I felt for her in that touch.
She got that I knew as she melted into my embrace my acceptance of her choices for the both of us.
We went back to the bridge as we headed for the Split equipment dock where we going to put in for resupply we did not have to not with our base to the north but I wanted Zyarth to see our fleets commitment to them was unchanged. I could not help but notice the discreet looks we both got from the team obviously the situation between me and Gill worried them but the fact we had sorted it out put them at ease.
That was more than I could say for myself the fact Gill had decided to bear our child totally threw me there were a hundred things I had to do but I couldn't keep any of them in my head for more than a second I let Stick take us into dock.
I got through the things I had to do just by taking care of each of them as they arose.
Once we final got back home it was at least five minutes before my mother arrived having some how heard the news I could tell that I would be seeing a lot more of her in this level of the base from now on but I didn't mind it felt good to be honest.
There would have to be a wedding of course mother would have nothing less and I could see that despite her protests the idea was beginning to grown on Gil.
I left them both to their discussions and looked out through the translucent dome that gave us a view of the system beyond their was a lot more traffic than there had been even a few short months ago with new stations being built across the sector that had bought wealth to Zyarth and his people.
Things were getting better in other s3ectors where people of all races were doing as we did and taking up the fight against those who sought to attack those weakened by the lack of military to patrol the trade lanes.
As for the Praetorian we were growing stronger and could now put together a fleet to rival that of a race rapid response force.
We were making a difference and would continue to do so that was the main thing.
Perhaps we were shortening the war only time would tell for the moment I was just looking forward o the future.

Sorry to those who have been reading but, and yes that last paragraph was pure fiction as I had to end the story and did not want to write some gung ho fiction. The reason:- I have suffered a major blue screen failure that trashed both my primary and secondary hard drives and the bios of my machine.
No not due to an unwanted update from those who shall not be named but by a Microsoft update package would you believe that corrupted or deleted some files with disastrous effects that took out my office suite and then my operating system.
It has taken me two days to firstly replace the hard drives and then to reinstate my software. Then the unbridled joy of waiting for steam to download all seven of the X series game again.
I do have back up saves but they are from a while back and for the next couple of days I will be busy starting again at the beginning.
I do not like writing about something that does not relate to my current game.
Thanks all for reading.
