VD Chieftain Abm
::walks out of his tent and stops to look at the sky and the low dark clouds as it nears sunset::  All:  Gather around!  We're about to meet those Shore Liners.  Everyone enjoy the festivities.  We'll be getting to the serious talks later.  ::waits for everyone to gather around::

CIV VD Harker
::Stands with her AT looking around.::

CTO VD Murphy
Abm: So now do we get the shackles off?

AXO SL Burton
::Walking out on the far fringes of their camp::

CIV VD Harker
::Patrols the borders as always look for resources, options...::

CEO SL Spanner
:: is frustrated and goes to find Rome ::

VD Chieftain Abm
::is decked out in his fur and feather headpiece and is sporting some black and red painted serpents down his arms, looks over the other warriors and one of his wives and kisses her, turns to the CIV::  CTO:  Shackles...  ::shakes his head::  You are stubborn.  Those are for your protection, not your prison.

CIV VD Harker
Abm: So you will remove them? ::Looking at Abm::

VD Chieftain Abm
CTO: You don't understand the dangers around you yet.  Until you stop seeing us as your enemy, they stay on.

CTO VD Murphy
Amb: How do you figure something that slows me down, makes me a target, and could possibly trip me up protects me?

CIV VD Harker
Abm: Take them off and we might stop seeing you as an enemy...::she shot back.::

TO SL Thalataar
::Is sitting on a stump and fingers a few flowers he found along the way.::  Self:  Hrmmm..  ::Brings the flower up to his nose and sniffs it.::

CEO SL Spanner
:: finds Rome :: ACO:  Jonathan, these people won't even talk to me.

SCENE: Malak and a few other hardy fishermen dressed in heavier animal skin clothing stand at the center of the meeting site. Staring into the distance towards the approaching Valley Dwellers.

ACO SL Rome
::turns around to see Karri walking towards him and smiles:: CEO: What about Malak?

VD Chieftain Abm
::knows how this usually goes and ignores the bravado::  CIV:  Are you ready?  We need to meet with the villagers.  ::moves nearer the CIV and CTO::  When I stop seeing the anger in your eyes I will know you are ready.  All: Come!  Let's get going.  ::turns and starts walking towards the light of the bonfire::

CEO SL Spanner
ACO:  Malak...he and few of the others are in the center of this meeting place.

CIV VD Harker
CTO: Well these will be on forever...

CTO VD Murphy
Abm: I'm not moving another bloody step until this thing comes off. ::stands with arms crossed, defiant and full of Irish temper::

ACO SL Rome
::stands up slowly and takes her hand for a moment:: CEO: Try him. ::smiles::

Malak
::gazes around at the forested trees surrounding the campsite, remembering what he was told by Herron, and feeling confident in "their" protection::

CIV VD Harker
Abm:It would go a long way in establishing trust..

AXO SL Burton
::Stands alone in the forest::

CEO SL Spanner
ACO:  Alright Jonathan, but, you know they don't trust us since some of those kids saw Thalataar sneaking about.

<Odn> CTO:  Then you can stay here.  Too bad, you would enjoy the feast and the dancing.  Whatever you do, don't run off.  ::signals to the two same warriors to stay with the CTO::  I would rather you come with me so we can talk.  Decide for yourself.  ::walks off::

ACO SL Rome
CEO: If anything, seeing us interact with Malak will help our cause.

TO SL Thalataar
::He sniffs the flower again and then eats it.::

CTO VD Murphy
::Sits down with a stick in hand and starts trying to pry and wiggle the tether off::

CIV VD Harker
CTO: That could of gone better.

CIV VD Harker
CTO: I think we've found a people as stubborn as we are...

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: Tell me about it Boss, ah, well, their loss, not mine.

VD Chieftain Abm
CIV: Trust?  You have done nothing but show anger.  I can understand part of it, but not all of it.  What is your name?  ::strides along in long steps::

CEO SL Spanner
:: nods :: ACO:  I'll go and talk with him.  :: heads to the center of the meeting place to find Malak ::

CIV VD Harker
::Curses to herself, following, motioning to the others.::

Malak
::places a hand on the shoulder of one his fisherman friends, and turns to go back towards his camp, coming towards Rome and Spanner::

ACO SL Rome
::looks after her:: CEO: Thanks.

TO SL Thalataar
::Chews on the flower a few times and then swallows.  He then coughs a few times and regurgitates it onto the ground in front of him.::

CIV VD Harker
Abm: How would you feel pulled with no warning from your home, and sent to a place in which you have no experience and the first thing people do is put you in shackles...

CEO SL Spanner
:: looks over her shoulder, smiles and winks at him :: ACO:  Anytime handsome.

ACO SL Rome
::sits back down and starts stroking his beard....watching the people::

<Guard One> Guard Two: And so we get stuck here.  We could have finally had something good to eat!  ::glares at the CTO::

CTO VD Murphy
::Still working with a stick and some grease she saved from breakfast to get the tether off::

AXO SL Burton
::Begins to wander realizing he might be somewhat lost::

CEO SL Spanner
:: finds sees Malak :: Malak:  Greetings.

CTO VD Murphy
Guards: Nobody's stopping you. Push off.

CEO SL Spanner
:: smiles one of her most winning smiles ::

TO SL Thalataar
::Looks around to see where he could get some water to drink, not really liking the taste of that flower.  He frowns slight.::

Malak
ACO: Jonathan, if you and Jorn could assist me in setting up the bonfire?

VD Chieftain Abm
CIV:  Shackles is what you call them.  If I took them off you would run into the wilderness and die because you know nothing yet.  I am trying to help you.  I know it's hard, but I had nothing to do with you coming here.  If I knew how to get you back...I would.  ::looks seriously at the smaller CIV::

ACO SL Rome
::looks up at Karri and Malak:: Malak: I want to talk to Chief Herron.

CIV VD Harker
Abm:trust me we won't until we know how to survive but we must have freedom of movement.

CIV VD Harker
Abm:We need maps, supplies, but until these come off we won't be able to focus on anything but prisoner status...

TO SL Thalataar
::Hears his name and then looks around.  He then walks over to Malak and Rome.::

<Guard One> CTO: So little you know.  At least your friend is trying to learn.  I'm responsible for your safety, so I will stay.  Odn would not have anything happen to you.  He is favoring you.

Malak
::shakes his head:: ACO: He is too elderly to journey far from his home. He could not come. I'm sorry. ::gazes at Spanner with a kind smile::

CEO SL Spanner
:: looks around at Jonathan as if to say..."See, he won't speak to me either." :: Self:  What, do I have bad breath or something?

CTO VD Murphy
Guard: I'm so bloody flattered. I could care less what he favors.

ACO SL Rome
Malak: So who speaks for him here?

CIV VD Harker
::she casts worried glances behind her to where the CTO was left, she doesn't want to move too much further and leave her behind.::

Malak
ACO: I do, with his blessings.

TO SL Thalataar
::Grumbles and puts his hand on his stomach as it starts to get upset a little bit.::  Self:  That flower didn't like me too much.

VD Chieftain Abm
CIV:  Do you have a deity?  One that you can swear to?  I do not know your people.  Those... ::points to the two Klingons::  ...I have found them to be good for their word, but it took time.  One of their kind ran off and was torn asunder.  I do not wish that again.

AXO SL Burton
::Slightly louder than his normal voice::  Outloud: Hello?

ACO SL Rome
::Stands up:: Malak: Finally! A straight answer -Lieutenant- Malak.

VD Chieftain Abm
::notices the CIVs glance back to her friend::  CIV:  She will be fine.  Once she hears the laughter and music she will come join.

CIV VD Harker
Abm:We have many deity's and I swear by mine and my family's personal honor that we will not undertake our mission to the caves until we are properly prepared.

ACTION: Commander Burton begins hearing faint, mixed whispers in the trees above him, and the air currents gathering around him seem to feel a touch chilly now, unlike the heavy heat from minutes before.

CIV VD Harker
::thinks to herself, "the other two won't be a problem but the CTO may not like it..."::

AXO SL Burton
::Looks up into the trees to try and find the source of the whispers::

Malak
ACO: Pardon? I thought I have been most...candid with you so far.

ACO SL Rome
::looks straight at Malak:: Malak: Well mostly just an answer I like! ::smiles:: Okay, now you are going to deal with these....Valley people for me.

ACTION: The air around Burton seems to thicken gradually into a cloud of dust and dirt.

VD Chieftain Abm
CIV: We will consider removing the tethers after the negotiations.  I need to know more about you, too.  I have my tribe to consider just as you worry for your friends.  It is the same.

TO SL Thalataar
::Sits down holding his stomach.::  Malak:  I don't suppose that someone in this group has something that could cure an upset stomach?

Malak
::guesters to the firewood in a nearby tent:: ACO: I need some helping hands to get the bonfire ready first. Can you start a fire with flint?

CIV VD Harker
Abm:Then we will discuss this again soon. ::A slight nod, more respect then she'd shown before and she turns to head back to the CTO.::

AXO SL Burton
::Tries to step out of the dust and dirt::

ACO SL Rome
Malak: I do remember my survival classes yes, but first...you help me, I help you.

CEO SL Spanner
:: almost laughs ::

CIV VD Harker
::Returns to the CTO::

Malak
::smiles at the TO:: TO: There is a brownskin with blue stripe canteen in the supply tent behind you filled with Harga juice. That should help. But just a small sip, or it will cause more problems than cure.

VD Chieftain Abm
CIV:  I will see you at the festivities.  Talk to your friend.  ::continues on towards the Shore Liners and puts his arm around his wife::

TO SL Thalataar
::Raises his eyebrow.::  Malak:  What kind of problems?

CIV VD Harker
CTO:Ok we may be able to get them to remove these and help us to get to the caves if we wait until after their talks...

CIV VD Harker
::drops to the ground next to the CTO.::

CIV VD Harker
CTO:What do you think?

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: What do you mean Commander?

CTO VD Murphy
::Still working::

CEO SL Spanner
:: sighs in exasperation :: Malak:  If building your bon fire will get this meeting with there Valley people started so we can find out if our friends are there, I'll help you.

Malak
TO: Smelly problems. ::clears his throat:: ACO: Jonathan, this really isn't the time to bargain. We'll deal with the 'Dwellers when they come.

<Guard One>  CTO: Do you really think we haven't learned how to make sure they stay on?  ::shakes his head:: Why are you not wanting to join the rest?  ::looks at the CIV and takes a seat on a rock::

CTO VD Murphy
Guard: Maybe I just enjoy seeing you miserable? ::grins::

TO SL Thalataar
::Grumbles softly and then finds the jar that Malak spoke of and he smells the liquid and then puts a little bit in a cup and takes a drink of the juice.::

AXO SL Burton
::Begins to move a bit faster::

CIV VD Harker
CTO: They will consider removing these after their talks, I indicated we would need supplies, maps etc and he didn't say they wouldn't provide them, I expect that’s as good as we're going to get it now...

ACO SL Rome
Malak: I am not dealing with the other tribe Lieutenant, I am dealing with you....now let's put it this way, me and my friend here will take care of the bonfire, if you promise to do something for me later. I can always make it an order, but you probably wouldn't respond to that now would you?

ACTION: No matter where Burton moves, the dust is all around him. Just ahead, he can make out the sun-lit shadowed form of a large, quadruped creature about the size of a tiger...and appearing as if it has two heads, but its features cannot be seen yet.

<Guard One>  ::laughs and his buddy laughs too::  CTO:  I see why Odn likes you.  You aren't like the other women.

CIV VD Harker
CTO:Looks like you got a fan...

AXO SL Burton
::Instinctively reaches for his phaser, soon realizing it isn't there::

Malak
ACO: I'm afraid ranks mean nothing to us here. You're really a sticker for going by-the-book, huh? Believe me, if you're worried about the Prime Directive, that's been over with long ago. These people already know about the Federation. ::goes over to get some wood::

CTO VD Murphy
::Quotes the Code of Conduct:: CIV: I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I won't surrender while those under me have the means to resist. I will make every effort to escape. I will accept no special favors from the enemy, I will not break faith with my fellow officers.

AXO SL Burton
::Turns in the opposite direction of the beast and starts to run::

CEO SL Spanner
:: follows and gets some wood as well ::

<Odn>  ::saunters up to the two women and squats down to wait::  CIV/CTO: You seem intelligent, but if you don't come eat you'll lose your strength and then you won't be able to fight me.  ::smiles broadly and just shakes his head, amused::

ACO SL Rome
::shakes his head and walks after him:: Malak: I don't care about that....I care about my people. Now you should also care. Or have you grown to like this place too much, that you don't even care that my people are never going to see their family again?

CIV VD Harker
CTO:I know the code too. ::Her voice a little harsher then intended.:: I'm trying to help us.

CIV VD Harker
CTO:How are we going to get to the caves, the only lead we have without help.

TO SL Thalataar
::Feels his stomach feel somewhat better and he returns to Rome and Malak.::

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: I think we're a bit more able than they give us credit for Commander.

ACO SL Rome
::picks up a large log::

CIV VD Harker
CTO: Most certainly, one question do you know where the caves are?

ACTION: A low growl is heard from the creature as it seems to give chase while Burton runs through a column of dust...and emerges into the calm of the Shore Liners camp again, right behind the TO.

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: I'm sure we could find out.

CIV VD Harker
CTO: I'll be happy too but we are not going to find out anything by sitting here...

CIV VD Harker
CTO: We don't know what supplies we need, what dangers we'll face, or where they are we need that information to have any chance..

TO SL Thalataar
::Follows Rome's lead and picks up a log as well and then hears something behind him and he turns to see what it is.::

AXO SL Burton
TO: Careful, It's right behind. Find cover.

Malak
::says nothing to Rome, and just carries on with the work of getting the firewood ready::

TO SL Thalataar
AXO:  What are you talking about?  ::Groans and furrows his brow.::

ACO SL Rome
::turns around and looks at Kurtis:: AXO: Kurtis? What's going on? ::glances at Malak::

VD Chieftain Abm
::walks up to the Shore Liners and comes to a stop in front of the bonfire and hits his chest then salutes stiff armed::  Shore Liners:  Hail!  I am here to see Herron.  ::looks around::

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: So what are you suggesting Sir? I think the Chief's son is eyeballing me for marriage potential.

TO SL Thalataar
::Looks around and behind Burton.::  AXO:  There is nothing behind you.  ::Sniffs a few times.::  Though I wish you would have left your smell behind.

CIV VD Harker
::Luaghs:: CTO: What I am suggesting is we go to this feast thing and see who’s brains we can pick.

CIV VD Harker
CTO:And if that doesn't work, we'll marry you off .::She says jokingly.::

AXO SL Burton
ACO: A creature chased me here sir.

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: If those are your orders Sir...

CIV VD Harker
CTO:Do you have a better idea?

<Odn>  ::chuckles as he listens, surprised the CTO has not noticed him yet::  CTO:  Very perceptive of you...

CIV VD Harker
CTO:I value your opinion if you have a workable plan let me know.

TO SL Thalataar
::Drops the log and looks around to see if there's anything in the vicinity.::

ACO SL Rome
AXO: Okay....I believe you, you got lucky then...they warned us about the animal life. You alright?

CIV VD Harker
Odn: Always listening in on conversations?

CTO VD Murphy
::whispers softly:: CIV: We could take out those two goons, cut these bloody things off, and then have a look about, armed?

Malak
::sets some wood up and whispers conspiratorially to his friends at the center of the meeting place::

CTO VD Murphy
::Casts the "evil eye" at Odn::

CIV VD Harker
::Whispers back.:: CTO: Not that I think they would but remember their healers have our crewmates...

<Odn> CIV:  If you are talking so loud, yes.  ::stands and brushes the dirt off his heels, looking towards the rest of his people down at the meeting::

CIV VD Harker
Odn: I don't suppose you'll remove these and give us weapons, we'd feel a lot better...

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: Well then, I guess we do it your way for now.

AXO SL Burton
TO: What's going on here?

ACTION: The TO spots a thin vine curling down towards the CEO's neck from the thicket of trees above.

VD Chieftain Abm
CIV:  You would feel better because you would think you could hurt us.  Do you really think that is best?  We have offered food and medical help and tried to welcome you.  You look at us with hate.  Why should we trust you?

CIV VD Harker
Odn:We don't want to hurt anyone, we just want to explore the caves.

CTO VD Murphy
Odn: You also only gave us one choice.

CIV VD Harker
Odn: I give you my word, we're not out to harm your people.

CIV VD Harker
::Stands.::

TO SL Thalataar
::Turns his head and notices something coming from the trees near Lieutenant Spanner.  He rubs the hair on his chin a few moments.::  CEO:  Spanner! Something is going for your neck!

CEO SL Spanner
TO:  What? :: looks around ::

ACO SL Rome
::turns around:: CEO: Karri move!

ACO SL Rome
Malak: Malak!

CTO VD Murphy
::Stands up and deliberately flicks the stick she was using at the Guard #1 with an evil grin, not caring if he gets hit or not::

<Odn>  CIV:  Hmmm...  ::strokes his reddish beard, thinking::  You would brave the caves?  ::nods::  Then I think it would be a good idea.  Come enjoy the feast and then later tonight we will discuss this.  There are things you should know first.

CEO SL Spanner
:: tries to drop to the ground ::

TO SL Thalataar
::Bolts towards Spanner in an effort to push her out of the way.  As he nears her, he leaps up to push her away.::

ACTION: The finger-thick vine starts to wrap itself almost seductively around the CEO's throat.

CIV VD Harker
::Glances at the CTO: Fine. Do tell...

ACO SL Rome
::Starts running towards her::

CEO SL Spanner
:: grabs at the vine ::

CIV VD Harker
CTO:Lets go.

CTO VD Murphy
::Follows the CIV::

TO SL Thalataar
::Grabs at the vine, even biting at it to get it to let go of the Lieutenant.::

<Guard One>  ::reaches up with a quick movement and deftly catches the stick::  I claim her for the first round!  Yes, I like this one.  ::gloats and smiles comradely at Odn::

CIV VD Harker
::Rolls eyes....::

ACTION: The vine gives up its pursuit, and immediately sprouts thorns, one of which pierces Jorn's right hand, and then retreats back up into the trees.

ACO SL Rome
::Reaches her and grabs a hold of the vine above::

TO SL Thalataar
::Yelps and squeals and he clutches his hand.::

AXO SL Burton
::Moves towards the CEO::

<Odn> Guard One:  I look forward to it!  I want to see her in action tonight.  ::walks alongside the two other warriors, eyeing the backsides of the two 'Newcomers'::

CIV VD Harker
::Wishes not for the first time she was a CTO again, life was much clearer, not all these 'command decisions' she was having to deal with. You shot the bad guys, protected the good guys and that was it...

CEO SL Spanner
ACO:  What the......??????

ACTION: Thunder rumbles in the distance after the clouds are lit up by lightning::

CTO VD Murphy
Odn: You mind letting us in on the joke, boys?

TO SL Thalataar
::Holds onto his hand and then looks up at the commotion in the trees.::

CIV VD Harker
::whispers to CTO:: CTO: Anyone of them gets fresh you have my full permission to tap dance on them...

Malak
::turns from his friends towards Jorn, and shakes his head, sighing:: Self: "She" is getting angry with them. Not good... ::remembers his own nasty scar hidden on his left thigh::

ACO SL Rome
::pulls on the vine angrily:: Outloud: Let her go!

CTO VD Murphy
::whispers back:: CIV: Not that I would have needed or asked, but thanks. Nice to know I have Command Support. ::grins::

<Odn> CTO: This feasting.  There will be entertainment.  A showing of prowess, contests of fighting strength.  It is much looked forward to.  ::laughs::  Your time to release your hostilities, show us what you're made of...if you can.

CEO SL Spanner
ACO:  Take it easy Jonathan, it let me go.  Good thing before it sprouted those thorns.

TO SL Thalataar
::Looks over at Malak, overhearing him.::  Malak:  Who is getting angry?

CIV VD Harker
::Whispers:: CTO: I know but I thought you'd like to know you're supported.

ACTION: The remnant of the vine the ACO got his hands on suddenly withers, dries up in his hands, and snap, falling lifeless to the ground. At the root of it is dripping a dull, creamy white substance that dries and hardens quickly.

CTO VD Murphy
Odn: Laddie, anyone you put in a ring with me is going to get a lesson on Dirt Zen. I'll show them how to become one with the ground in no time flat. ::grins wider::

VD Chieftain Abm
::the permacats stop trailing behind the group of warriors and new smelling ones and growl low in their throats toward a point in the distance, among the trees::

ACO SL Rome
CEO: You alright?

AXO SL Burton
ACO: Seems you killed it sir. Nicely done.

CIV VD Harker
::Stifles a laugh but, grins.::

VD Chieftain Abm
Shore Liners: People of Verta!  Where is your leader?!  I have come all this way and he is not here to meet me?  Is this respect for our negotiations?  ::places his hands on his hips, angrily::

ACO SL Rome
AXO: Probably a big mistake.....I feel that this will probably come back and bite me in the ass. ::smiles:: ::kneels down and looks at it::

CEO SL Spanner
ACO:  I'm fine.  :: looks down at it ::  I don't think it actually wanted to hurt me.

CEO SL Spanner
ACO:  I'd give anything for a tricorder right now.

Malak
::walks over to Jorn and the others, forgetting how some Tellarites have great hearing:: TO: The Earth Mother, of course. The creatures around here are attracted to certain...feelings in this place. You'd wonder sometimes if the fauna have empathic senses.

AXO SL Burton
::Hears some shouting and walks towards it::

TO SL Thalataar
::Raises his eyebrow.::  Malak:  Some of them do.

<Odn>  ::stops immediately and turns quickly to look out where the cats are looking, makes a hand gesture::  Krina: Krina...go!

Malak
TO: Don't worry, you'll be fine. Almost nothing on land is poisonous, except for some plants. Best not to eat any more flowers, were I you.

CIV VD Harker
::looks at Odn, then looks around puzzled.::

ACO SL Rome
AXO: Kurtis....stay here, see if you can find out more about this plant, have Karri assist....I'm gonna take Jorn and get this bonfire started.

<Guard One> ::watches the two women warily, glancing back from them to the forest and the loping black permacat::  CIV/CTO:  Be alert.  There is something stalking...in those trees.  ::keeps walking::

CTO VD Murphy
::Watches Odn and the cat, getting lower to the ground by instinct::

ACO SL Rome
::picks up the log he dropped earlier and carries it over to Malak::

CTO VD Murphy
::Picks up several rocks along the way, and a large stick as well::

CIV VD Harker
CTO: Duh..::at the guards comment, she continues on high alert.::

AXO SL Burton
ACO: Aye sir.

Malak
::hears the voice of the 'Dwellers' chieftain, turns heads in the direction:: Valley Dwellers: We welcome you to this land by the shores of our ancestors. The Seers grant us the blessings of your company this day, honored Chief Abm!

CTO VD Murphy
CIV: Might want to get a few things handy Boss, just in case.

VD Chieftain Abm
::the permacat rushes faster through the undergrowth and shrieking and growling ensue then all is quiet, the black cat lopes back to his master to rub against his leg::

CIV VD Harker
::Nods as she grabs a solid stick, walking style but a good quarterstaff..::

CTO VD Murphy
::Continues along, rocks ready to throw and stick in hand::

<Odn>  ::runs his hands over the soft short fur and feels warm blood on his leg and his voice is worried, very caring::  Kirna:  My Kirna, you are hurt.  ::stands::  Guards/CIV/CTO:  We will need the Shore Liner healer, Cannai or her daughter, Resa.  Kirna is hurt.  We cannot have that.

CEO SL Spanner
:: begins to investigate ::

TO SL Thalataar
::Walks alongside Malak.::  Malak:  If I am to be on this planet I would like to know what I can work with to provide vegetation for the others.

AXO SL Burton
CEO: And away we go. Hope we turn something up.

VD Chieftain Abm
::remains standing tall over the shorter Shore Liners, his glare stern::  Malak:  Herron...why is he not here to meet me as custom dictates?  Where is the respect?

CTO VD Murphy
Odn: Aye, best see to your beastie. Canna let wounds fester.

CIV VD Harker
::Her body on alert, continues to scan the tree line, not nervous but careful.::

ACO SL Rome
::starts getting the bonfire started::

CIV VD Harker
Odn:What does that kind of wound?

VD Chieftain Abm
<Odn>::looks back towards the woods::  CTO:  You are very right.  Are you a healer?  Look... ::points to Kirna's right lower leg::  ...the bear rake.  Its claws are sharp even though it moves so ponderously.

Malak
::looks at Jorn over his shoulder and speaks quietly:: TO: There will be time for that later. For now, we prepare for a feast... Abm: His health declines, and I come in his stead. Come, we shall feast together this eve. I can provide as surely as great Herron can, with his sacred blessings.

CTO VD Murphy
Odn: I know a bit about it, but it's not my primary job.

CIV VD Harker
Odn:We all have a little training in that area...

<Odn>  CIV:  That is a good skill to know.  Perhaps you can learn more of a healer's ways.  We have none.  These cats are our guardians.  They would give their lives for us.

VD Chieftain Abm
::looks warily at this StarWorlder wondering if there is trickery::  Malak: So be it.  But I would speak with him.
