Tom continued fucking Lenara's ass. His thrusts were powerful. He even playfully slapped her ass several times. Letting her know, who was in charge. Tom finally came about 15 minutes later. Filling Lenara with a hot flood of his cum. Tom showed off his stamina during their time together. There was a short break, where Tom & Lenara laid together on the couch. They talked a bit more, before having one more round of sex. Tom took Lenara's pussy this time. They fucked like rabbits on her couch. Lenara's couch got more action then her bed did. Tom ended the evening by cumming and filling Lenara's pussy. Each of her holes had a health load of cum, thanks to Tom. The evening ended when Tom left Lenara's quarters. He left her very satisfied. Tom had become Lenara's newest lover, one she would always enjoy. There were others to be added. Lenara had a date set for the following evening. This was something new for Lenara. She'd done some entertaining her quarters before, but those weren't dates as one would call them. She would be attending the double feature in the mess hall with Lieutenant Doctor Shelby Jensen.
The Protector reached Starbase 133 the following day. The reports from the mysterious battle with the Romulan ship from the future, had been transmitted ahead of the ship's arrival. As expected, Kyle was ready when he was called to
Admiral Coburn's office. The admiral had some questions about the reports sent in by Kyle & Lenara. The incident they wrote about was remarkable to say the least. Lenara wasn't asked to join because as Captain, it was Kyle's responsibly to speak for the actions taken. The Protector was his ship, under his command. Kyle had been in tougher positions before. He knew this meeting was just to cover all the bases. Admiral Coburn couldn't file the reports until he had a face to face meeting with Captain West. Kyle was more then ready for all the questions he was asked. Though not a politician, Kyle masterfully spun the entire incident into one hell of a story. It was a strange tale to be sure, but not completely unheard of. Admiral Coburn said Kyle and his crew were to be commended for their actions. The subject of Robin Devlin was brought up. Kyle had her write up a report on what happened to her. Thanks to Lenara's quick thinking in sickbay. Robin was led to believe she was wrong when she first beamed aboard the Protector. Instead of four Romulans, there were only three. Lenara, Tom & T'Pren were those Romulans. Robin admitted to being confused when she was beamed. So she really didn't know how many Romulans there were.
Kyle told Admiral Coburn, Robin wished to stay aboard the Protector. Since she was doing so well adapting to the 24th century. Her status in Starfleet and posting on the Protector was approved. The meeting ended when Kyle was told a new mission would be coming his way soon. Kyle spoke of his wish to go pick up his science officer on Vulcan. Admiral Coburn agreed to this, but after Kyle and the Protector visited Romulus. Kyle was stunned when he heard where he was going. Admiral Coburn said Kyle would be representing the Federation during strategic war talks with the Romulans. This wasn't the mission Kyle was expecting. Kyle would sooner take the Protector and assault Cardassia Prime, then visit Romulus. However, he had no choice in the matter. Kyle spoke of his troubled past with the Romulans. This Admiral Coburn and Starfleet knew about, but Kyle was one of the best strategic minds in the Federation. He planned an won several battles during the war with the Dominion. Kyle left the admiral's office. He knew Lenara would be just as thrilled as he was to visit Romulus. Though, Lenara would have little to do on this mission. As would the rest of the crew. Only Kyle would be busy during this mission.
Once back aboard the Protector. Kyle called for a meeting of the senior staff. Everyone gathered in the briefing room. Kyle dropped a bomb when telling the staff they were going to Romulus. Everyone sat there with their mouths hanging open. The Romulans were allies, but no one was expecting they'd be going to their home world. Kyle said the mission was pretty much his and the crew was just going alone for the ride. He spoke of being busy with meetings during this mission. Because of this, Lenara would be taking over day to day operations of the ship. She would be acting captain while he would be meeting with the Romulans. Kyle had some good news, which would be helpful to Lenara. He said Robin's posting on the ship had been approved. Kyle then made her second officer and operations officer. She would be taking on more of Lenara's older duties. Tom had been the second officer, but he never enjoyed his time in command. All he ever wanted was to be a chief engineer on a starship. Tom got that, and he was happy with his position. He was glad to become third officer. The meeting ended with Kyle telling Lieutenant Simms to set course for Romulus. The Protector left Starbase 133 shortly afterwards. It would take several days before they reached Romulus. Normally, Lenara would be swamped with duty. Taking on the captain's workload would have made it difficult for Lenara to have any free time. But, having Robin join the active duty roster, would help. Though she was still new, she was learning rather quickly. Kyle felt she could do with some on the job training. Robin would take over as operations officer from Lenara. She would also be acting as Lenara's first officer, while Kyle was busy. For the time being. Lenara would remain as chief of security and chief tactical officer. Her skills at tactical wouldn't be needed on this mission. She would be spending her time commanding the ship. This meant Tala and others would get more time at the tactical station.
