Description Captain Providencia Castro and her subordinates welcome visitors aboard her temporary flagship ISS VALIANT. With her saluting Fleet Captain Marco Julian Cruz is Lieutenant Gabriella Gutierrez and Dr. Amira Ashley. At Fleet Captain Cruz's side is the notorious Captain Laura Black.

As he materialises and the figure of Providencia Castro come into clear view, a smile crosses the rugged face of Fleet Captain Cruz. The sight of this magnificent woman reawaken long dormant emotions within him. He experiences rush of warmth deep within him as he beholds her face, now in the flesh, and only a few feet away. Those beautiful brown eyes, into which he would stare for hours years ago when they were together. That lovely face,  he would stroke softly, those full lips that would be pressed passionately against his. Her thick, raven colored tresses that he would run his fingers through whenever they were locked in passions embrace. For a moment it was eight years ago again...

He instantly notices that old glint in her beautiful eyes as she notices his gaze fall upon her. Castro stands there, tall, confident, commanding, and even more beautiful now than she was back then. Her beauty is still as untamed and and wild as a turbulent storm. Dangerous, powerful, and consuming. Cruz has never known a more magnificent woman than Providencia Castro. 

She smiles back at him with a warmth that she hasn't felt in many years. For Castro, the sight of this man awakens many things within her. Thoughts, memories, emotions, things she has subconsciously suppressed over the years since she and Marco Cruz parted ways. He had been the only man to win her heart, and since that time, no other man has been permitted to come close. Providencia Castro has made her career her all encompassing passion. She has had room in her heart for nothing else, or noone else. The feelings that begin to awaken seem to rush over her like a tidal wave and were it not for her iron self discipline, these feelings would overwhelm her. As it is, she stands there, about to welcome aboard a Terran Fleet Captain... The only man she's ever been in love with...

"Hail!" Dr. Ashley and Gabby Gutierrez shout as they salute the two officers who now stand on the transporter pads. 

Their shouts snap Castro's mind back to the present and away from the feelings that have reawakened within her. The captain steps forward to greet Fleet Captain Cruz when her eyes fall upon the officer accompaning him. As Castro focuses her gaze she recognises another familiar face. Someone that she hasn't seen in years also. Someone who evokes more emotions from Castro.

"Permission to come aboard, captain." Cruz says. His voice slightly laden with passion that makes his Spanish accent a little more pronounced. 

The sound of his voice would often cause a stimulating reaction within Castro in the past, as it is right now. Surprisingly, she hesitates for a moment  clearing her throat.

"Permission granted, Fleet Captain Cruz." She says, in a very unusually welcoming tone.

As Dr. Ashley and Gabby lower their salutes and stand at ease beside their captain, Ashley identifies the difference in Castro's tone, ever so slight as it is, but instantly noticed by the doctor who cuts her eyes amusingly at the captain.

"Sir, may I introduce Dr. Amirah Ashley, my chief medical officer." The captain notices her friend's smirk but ignores it. Castro introduces her officers.

"And Lieutenant Gabriella Gutierrez, my bodyguard commander." 

Cruz nods in response at the introduction, smiling slightly at Dr. Ashley and Gabby as his approving gaze meets theirs.

"Doctor, lieutenant. The pleasure is all mine." He says. 

Then Cruz turns his attention to the officer at his side.

"Ladies, this is my companion..." he says

"Captain Laura Black!" Castro says, almost happily. "Laura! How the hell are you?"

The diminutive officer steps forward with her hand extended and a mischievous grin on her face. Her near platinum blond, pixy styled mane making her lovely brown skin and dark brown eyes stand out. Her features are striking, beautiful, yet not overpoweringly so. Her thick black eyebrows stand out in contrast with her hair. On her gold breatplate she wears the Terran Valor Award medal and two golden '100 Kills' badges showing that the wearer has killed at least 200 apponents in single combat. The two phasers in golden holsters on her thighs are worn with a confidence born from deadly experience.

"Captain Providencia Castro!" Laura replies warmly as Castro shakes her hand. "Pulli, I've been rollin'! At least until this civil war broke out."

"Took you away from those gambling tables..." Castro says jokingly. As she releases Laura's hand.

"Yeah, and I was on an incredible run!" Captain Black replies. Her midwestern American accent still apparent after all of these years.

"Captain Black's ship was in for repairs when Timochenko crossed the frontier.." Cruz recounts. "When Admiral Suzuki ordered me to evacuate the ships in the construction yard, he ordered her to leave with us. Her ship was the only one capable of fighting if need be. The rest were in various states of completion and none are armed."

Laura nods her head slightly with apparent heavy regret.

"I wanted to stay and fight!" Laura grumbles. "You know me, I never run away from a fight! But I always follow orders, so here I am!"

Castro grins slightly at Laura's words. Laura Black has a reputation for fighting almost as bloody and violent as Castro's. Laura's short height has always been a contentious thing, causing many unfortunate fools to underestimate this woman, leading to their deaths. Laura Black has a bad reputation for violence even for a Terran. She is notorious for being quick with a phaser and willing to use it. Known throughout the Terran Empire for carrying two phasers and being extremely accurate using them. It's said that Laura Black would kill a person at the drop of a hat, and she'd drop the hat herself. She loves a good time, drinking, gambling, womanising. Laura Black has gigantic appetites and vices but that doesn't interfere with her sense of duty and work ethic.

Cruz claps his hand on Laura's shoulder reassuringly. She grins slightly in recognition of his support.

"The Admiral and I felt that your skills will be sorely needed in the conflict ahead, captain." Cruz says calmly "Now is not the time for you to die!"

Cruz steps forward to the edge of the platform, then with a formal tone he addresses Castro and her officers.

"We have brought twenty six ships here for the Senate..." Cruz says solemnly. "Captain Castro, I turn these ships and their crews over to you."

Castro salutes and smiles with satisfaction. Her eyes stare into his with intensity and excitement, everything that is brewing inside of her...

"Thank you sir, I accept these ships in the name of the Senate and the People of the Terran Empire." She replies.

The two eye each other with mutual admiration and building desire...

"Maybe we could make a little time to get reaquainted.... " Castro thinks to herself as her eyes envelope his form again..
