CSO Jomorr
(Runabout Parthenon - Main compartment - 2391.03.20, 0501)
"Atlantis, we're going down! Mayday, mayday! We need immediate assistance!
Again...Atlantis, we are going down! We have lost all power systems except
for minimal life support! We need your help!"
Jomorr hit the console before him, with his fist. He was angry... angry at
the console, angry at the power, for not being there. Then, suddenly,
another feeling crept up to him. This feeling made him look towards Cmdr.
Charlile. He would never see her again, if they would die here. ~I don't
want to die!~ He shouted to himself. ~I... I still have so much to see! So
much to discover! There still is...~
Another explosion. It hit Jomorr right in the face... and threw him to the
ground. And in the few seconds that he was falling, he kept his eyes fixed
on the commander. ~Charlile~
Besides the ground, and a sharp pain in the side of his head, another
thing hit him. This could be the last chance he had to say Charlile that
he loved her! Quickly, Jomorr stood up again, and walked past Ensign Dory,
who was sitting there, with her head down. But the CSO didn't pay much
attention to that. His mind was focussed on one thing, and one thing
alone: Ellie Charlile.
When Jomorr stood next to Charlile, he could see, through the front
window, the planet coming, along with their deaths, coming closer and
closer. Soon, the runabout would burn up in the atmosphere, together with
it's three inhabitants. And there was nothing either of them could do
about it, except accepting what Faith had in store for them. But Jomorr
wasn't willing to do that... not without expressing his true feelings
first.
"Charlile..." he said... softly, to the commander. "Ellie... I... I need
to tell you something."
(Reply Charlile)
"I... I don't know how I can say this... but... since we're staring in the
face of Death... I thought I'd..." he gulped. "let.. let you know, how...
how I feel..."
(Reply Charlile)
Again, he gulped. "I... I love... you..." He sighed... it was done. He had
said it. "I... From the moment I met you... I've loved you."
(Reply Charlile)
At that moment, when suddenly all the consoles started exploding... and
when readings indicated the structural integrityfield couldn't handle much
more... at that exact moment... a blue light surrounded them. Quickly,
Jomorr grabbed hold of Ellie's hands... before their atoms... their
molecules... dematerialized...
Only to rematerialize on a transporterplatform. Jomorr and Charlile were
still holding hands. Ensign Dory was there too... looking up from her
lying position. All three now looked at the transporterchief, who
seemed... happy, to say the least. "Transporter room 3 to the bridge, all
three officers are alive and well..."
~True...~ Jomorr thought, and looked at Charlile again. Before either of
them could say anything, Jomorr embraced the acting FO. Just for a
moment... and then quickly let go again. He let out a slight smile, and
then turned away... He didn't know if Charlile was going to reply on
that... because the transporterchief had obviously seen that all three
officers were wounded.
"Medics to transporter room 3, we have three officers here in need of
assistance."
(Reply Morgan, Tashiro)
Jomorr now looked at Charlile... with a questioning look in his eyes.
Sure... he had said he loved her. But... how to continue now? Could this
relationship last? Was there even a relationship?
(Reply Charlile)
(Reply Charlile, Morgan, Tashiro, any)
