Ambassador Karina

Every Romulan learns to sing and play at least one musical instrument. Music is an important part of our culture.

I regularly reside on a former colony world of the Star Empire, which is now the capital world of the Imperial State.

I now prefer diplomacy over combat but I will fight if I have to.

What a veruul!

That is something I'm trying to atone for...*Sigh*

Interesting. So...a human adoptive father and a Vulcan adoptive mother?

Ah, I see, hence why you have a human name.

It's a pleasure, Lieutenant Stevenson. Ah, yes, you're a Vorta. I've heard that the Dominion sent a few young Vorta to be raised among other species.

Oh, pardon me, Lieutenant, I was just commenting on your drinking that reactor coolant. I'm Ambassador Karina of the Imperial Romulan State.

Fascinating...

*She says, watching him.*

It's alright. I'm trying to atone for what I tried to do.

*Sigh*

As if I needed a reminder...

*Walking through the Plaza, watching people and hoping she wouldn't see Ambassador Dhael naked this time*

Jolan tru.

*She replied with a small smile before bowing and exiting.*

*She nodded.*

Well, I won't keep you too long. I do need to settle in.

*She rose.*

Thank you for giving me this chance, Captain. I really appreciate it.

At least I hope so.

A nugget of rare Klingon wisdom.

I see. Well, maybe she'll convince Sela to loosen up a little and not be so serious.

I'm not sure if you know this, but when I arrived, I saw her walking around naked like it's normal. Does she usually do that?

I'm not quite sure what to make of her...

Oh...yes, her, the rebellious Romulan. Well, at least she has a friend.

Oh, my...I'm sorry if she's causing any trouble for you with her altercations...

That's understandable. More was expected of her because she's half-human and the daughter of a Starfleet officer on top of that. I remember hearing about her and thinking that she was pushing herself too much.

I won't allow my guards or any other Imperial State personnel to even so much as speak unkindly to her.

I know she has, and I don't bear any grudge against her.

I remember...all too well. To this day, I wonder if Sela and Tomalak took my and Ruwon's plan...I'm almost convinced they did. Praetor Kamenor did her best...

Unfortunately, Praetor Kamenor came too late to save Romulus. She did what she could, but...it couldn't be avoided.

It's very arrogant. I question D'era myself because I've seen what it's resulted in: Needless wars, various species subjugated, xenophobia...even the loss of Romulus itself.

to have strayed from that destiny.

It's our philosophy, called D'era. According to D'era, Vulcans and Romulans are destined to be the rulers of the universe to whom all other species are to submit as we are the children of the Vhorani. Most of us consider ourselves the true heirs of the Vhorani while the Vulcans are believed
