by John Vornholt p.597 On the screen, Legate Tarkon scowled with impatience. "You kept me waiting." "I'm glad to see you, too," said Demadak with forced joviality. "Thank you for bothering me on my vacation. I was having entirely too much fun." p.607-608 The woman named B'Elanna removed her hood, and Echo gasped aloud. Harper only stared. "Oh, by Mizrah!" said the glider pilot. "Are you what you appear to be?" B'Elanna frowned and put her hands on her hips. "And what do I appear to be?" "Half-human and half-Klingon." "Good guess," muttered the magnificent female Maquis. "And why is that so special?" With a start, Echo realized that the other Maquis had no idea what they had in this B'Elanna woman. "It's a rare combination," she explained. "You are very unique. We haven't had any success convincing Klingons to breed with us." B'Elanna scowled. "My father had no such problems." p.635 As the two of them watched the massive pyramid and deserted street, time hung suspended over them like the glittering moons. It seemed as if they were the only people in the universe, keeping a vigil for a long-dead traveler who would never return home. Even though the buildings were standing, and the infrastructure of the society remained in place, this city was dead.
