Twilight Of Peace

Commander Sieg just watched on the scanners as the AMAG units attacked.
"What the hell do they think they're doing? *Sigh*"
"Orders, sir?" An ensign spoke up.
"Maintain course. We're too far out to assist now. Besides, we have to get to Anchorage."
"Aye sir."
Sieg shook his head. Bah... Just when things had started winding down. Oh well. At least it's no longer about us anymore.

The battlegroup moved out of range from the sensors of the AW station as it moved into a nebula and vanished. Nothing but the slowly spinning asteroids and green gas in the nebula noticed their passing.

Krieg's eyes snapped open when Kristy sat up in bed.
"Ah, your awake." His eyes softened for a moment before he noticed her expression. No words were said, just a compleat understanding that clicked on like a light-bulb.
Krieg sighed. "I had hoped you wouldn't have to... but I guess it's best. In docking bay one, i've prepared a present for you."
He lead her down to the bay, and there sat a Wrath, fully loaded and prepared with the best weapons and equipment that Rhinland had to offer.
The corners of Kriegs mouth pulled up slightly into a sad smile. "We'll watch over Rhinland for you untill you return. Chancelor Pryde, it has been an honor to serve you. I do hope you will return to us soon." With that he bowed to her and turned to walk out of the bay, mainly so that she would not see his face. Although there were no tears, no outward indication, he cried.

Be safe, Chancellor. Rhinland would never be the same if you never came back.
