#35 - Nero, Patience elanya May 13 2009, 18:07:15 UTC
The work is hard, but it is honest work. Mining is mining. They can’t really push him any harder than he would push himself. The cold….. he doesn’t feel the cold. The pain burns in him hot enough to stave of the iciest Rura Penthe night.

Nero can’t help but dwell on the past - seeing Romulas crumble before him, remembering his failed promise to Madana to return, knowing he will never see her, or their child, again.

Sometimes, he lets himself dwell on the future. The Narada is out there, and his crew will come. This life…. This won’t last. He can be patient.

He takes some little satisfaction in knowing, also, that things have already changed. It all became clear after they emerged from the singularity, the first ship the encountered manned by just the kind of overconfident, arrogant, presumptuous Starfleet dog that made his blood boil. But the date - and the ship, the Kelvin - had all clicked in his mind. It was just the start of his revenge. Maybe James Kirk had never been born there, now. Maybe he would ever meet Spock. Maybe a million things would change, now, that would change what had happened to his world…

He would find out. And in time he would have his true revenge.

Oooh, I like this. Dark and creepy. And I love the mention of Rura Penthe.

Thanks! I'm not seeing enough love for Angsty Romulans out there - I thought I would just as well take things in to my own hands :x

irony = forgetting to post from your writing account in the first place, and then not realizing you *had* when you respond to a comment. >_

Ooh. I'd wondered just how the attack on the Klingon prison planet fit in. Very nice, and creepy.

Thank you!

I'm working a bit with rumor, but apparently there are deleted scenes about Nero being in Rura Penthe.... one of which was in the original trailer.

But it does fit well :)
