Mur'trah finished getting breakfast ready for Siatan and himself. "Time to eat, beloved," he called out towards their bedroom. He placed the serving dish of food in the center of their small dining table, taking a moment to think about their children and missing having meals together.

Siatan came out of their bedroom with a smile. She was already dressed in the skirt version of the Federation uniform. "Hmm thank you."

Smiling at her, Mur'trah pulled out her chair. "I must say, the human uniform does look very nice on you, my wife." He kissed her lips gently. Then whispered, "Of course, it looks better in a pile on the floor, after I have pulled it off of your body." He gave her a flirty wink as he spoke.

Siatan laughed softly. "After our shift my love. I promise. " She slid into a chair.

Pushing her chair back in some, Mur'trah moved over to his seat and sat down. He then picked up Siatan's plate and served her some food. "That, of course depends on whether the Humans can stop that Borg vessel." He served himself next, then asked, "Have you learned anything about them in Science? The security personnel have been doing a lot of weapon prep."

"Science has very limited information, only what they got from a prior interaction from another Ship. But from what I am seeing, it is going to be horrible. And death is the best outcome if they catch you."

Nodding solemnly, Mur'trah reached over to take gentle hold of his wife's hand. "I will not allow either of us to be captured by the Borg. However, as we will be on separate parts of the ship, please stay safe, my love. At least one of us needs to get back to our babies and keep them safe."

"I have confidence that the Gods will grant us the blessing of both returning," Siatan replied with a smile.

Mur'trah smiled at his beautiful wife. "You are always the more calmer of the two of us." He reached out and took hold of her right hand. He then lifted it up to his lips and gently kissed her knuckles. "Whatever did I do to deserve a wonderful woman like you?"

"Hmm nothing you were just being you," Siatan replied with a smile. "Now eat, we need to get to work."

Mur'trah smiled softly, then did as his beautiful wife and mother of his three, equally beautiful children, bade.

A short while later, as he was clearing the dishes away, he looked over at her. He was about to say something, when the red alert klaxons started to sound throughout the ship. =/\=All hands, this is the Captain speaking. Long range sensors have picked up the Borg vessel. Contact in less than ten minutes. All hands to battle stations!=/\=

Stopping what he was doing, Mur'trah hurried to grab his uniform jacket, pulling it on as he met Siatan at the door of their quarters. He pulled her into and embrace and kissed her. "May the Gods watch over you, my love!"

After the couple embraced one another, they hurried off to their respective duty stations. The Borg were coming.
