Host SM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Andorian craft that carries Sulek, Telarus and Kraight drops out of warp in a system with only two planets and a sun that can barely sustain life.

Host SM_Selan says:
# ACTION: Two days have passed since Jade Morgan had been arrested for the murder of the psychologist whom had been working with her. Her side of the story has been taken, and mysterious disproved by sensor data and records that suggest she was in the apartment AT the time of the murder. 

Host SM_Selan says:
<Vee> @ ::Staring out the window of the house::

Host Sulek says:
::in the cargo bay taking inventory of the equipment::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::gets up out of bed, feeling better::

Jade_Morgan says:
#::is staring sightlessly at the wall::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Captain O't'kain> *Sulek* Mr. Sulek, we have arrived at our destination. Are you prepared for beam down? 

Cherry says:
@::in the kitchen keeping busy by trying to figure out what all these appliances are for::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::calls out, walking through the house:: Cherry? Vee?

Host SM_Selan says:
# ACTION: There is a beep in the room, and the two Earth security enforcers exit. Two Starfleet security officers enter to replace them, signaling things are rapidly changing for Jade Morgan.

Host Sulek says:
*O't'kain* On my way.  ::Taps the communications panel on the wall:: Telarus/*Kraight*: Please join me in transporter.

Cherry says:
@Ben:  In the kitchen!  ::tentatively switches an appliance on::

Host SM_Selan says:
<Jeremiah Terry> @ ::Pangborn's ancient ancestor appears as another migraine strikes him:: -- They move against you my son, you must move fast to avoid them --- ::And disappears just as quickly::

Kraight says:
*Sulek*: On my way, sir.

Jade_Morgan says:
#::looks at the newcomers without much hope::

David_Telarus says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO: When ever you are ready sir.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ::Enters the room reading a PADD:: Morgan: Lieutenant Junior Grade Jade Morgan.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::walks in the kitchen:: Cherry: Anything to eat in here? I could eat a horse.

Kraight says:
:: checks his cabin one last time for anything forgotten, and heads for the transporter room ::

Jade_Morgan says:
#::doesn't stand:: Marshall: Yes?

Host Sulek says:
::moves down the hall to the transporter room of the small ship:: Telarus: now would be good.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: The barren world that the Andorian ship enters into orbit around looks desolate even from this far up. It is amazing that any civilization could have once been housed down below.

David_Telarus says:
::gears up and follows the Captain:: CO: Well away we go sir.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::disturbed by the apparition, and based on past experience, says nothing about it::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
<Captain O't'kain> *Sulek* Mr. Sulek, you'll be beaming down into a desert terrain. I trust you’re properly attired for such travel. We will be maintaining contact. Be sure to activate the transport amplifiers at regular intervals during your travel into the subterranean regions.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::rubs his head trying to shake it::

Cherry says:
@Ben:  Food?  You can make food in here?

Host Sulek says:
::entering transporter room, he steps up on the pad and awaits Kraight::*O't'kain*: I prepared just before we dropped from warp just as did my team.  Thank you for your consideration.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ::Grabs a chair and sits it in front of the force field, taking a seat with the PADD neatly placed in his lap. He gives Morgan a smile that he obviously does not mean:: Morgan: I am Zachary Marshall, a sort of attaché from the Internal Investigations department of Starfleet Command.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: Ostensibly

Kraight says:
:: enters the transporter room :: Sulek: Good morning, Captain.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
<Vee> @ ::Still staring out the window, as if looking for something. Anything::

Kraight says:
:: just finishing tucking away his tricorder inside his tunic ::

Cherry says:
@Ben:  How are you feeling?

Host Sulek says:
::nods:: Kraight: All in readiness.  You have familiarized yourself with the sparse data that there is, I assume.

Jade_Morgan says:
#::looks at him silently:: Marshall: I'm Jade Morgan...a sort of Starfleet Officer. How may I help you?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: A female Andorian is in the transporter room, waiting for them to get on the pad - "Mr. Sulek, your supplies have already been beamed down and are waiting for you on the surface."

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::fakes a smile:: Cherry: I'm doing just fine today. Where is Vee anyways?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: You've been handed over to Starfleet. This is now a military matter. Now, I already have all the information you provided on the incident ... along with all the evidence from the scene. Is there anything you want to say about it?

Host Sulek says:
::as the others join him on the pad:: Andorian: Energize.

Kraight says:
Sulek: Of course. This system's primary is very old, a Population 0 star, in fact. It will fade and die, becoming a brown dwarf in a matter of millennia.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: The trio is beamed from the Andorian vessel and are surprised to find that, while they are in a desert of sorts, it does not seem to be hot at all.

Jade_Morgan says:
#::shrugs:: Marshall: Besides the fact that I didn't do anything? Can't think of a thing.

Cherry says:
@Ben:  I'm not sure.  ::opens up the fridge and finds what looks like sandwich meat and bread::  You want to check on her while I slap some of this together.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: So you said. Yet ... all the evidence points to YOU being the murderer. 

Kraight says:
:: opens his tricorder and begins scanning :: Sulek: Interesting. This region appears to be essentially a sort of temperate-zone tundra.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: Sounds like a plan. ::gets up and goes looking for her::

Cherry says:
@::removes the alleged food from the refrigerator::

Host Sulek says:
::hearing the last of Kraight's statement in transport:: All: Most interesting.  The temperature is no doubt  a result of the dying star and a lack of moisture.  ::pulls out tricorder to get his bearings to the possible entrance to the underground::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: The purple and orange sands gently give way underneath their weight. Before them is a stone temple built into a dune. Purple sand has since worn away the intricate carvings that once adorned the temple, but it seems there is a way in. Nearby are a few bags of supplies and a nice small set of transporter amplifiers.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
<Vee> @ ::Sees Pangborn entering the room:: Pangborn: Are you feeling better?

David_Telarus says:
::grabs some gear and starts to scan the area with his tricorder as well::

Kraight says:
:: hefts the pattern enhancers :: All: Excellent. If we go very far underground, we will need these.

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: The evidence is wrong...but of course, I would say that even if I were guilty, one would assume, no?

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::sees Vee staring out the window and approaches her slowly:: Vee: Vee? Are you alright?

Kraight says:
:: picks up two bags of supplies, and slings them with the pattern enhancers over his shoulder ::

Jade_Morgan says:
# ::leans back against the wall and closes her eyes::

Host Sulek says:
::shoulders one of the three heavy supply packs:: All: Gentlemen, it would appear that rise would be a logical place to look for an entrance.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
<Vee> @ Pangborn: I -- ::Stops as if she doesn't want to continue her train of thought:: I'm fine. Just bored.

Kraight says:
:: scans :: Sulek: I agree. There is evidence of a passage near that location. I cannot tell yet if there is an opening, however.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ::Nods:: Morgan: Things seem stacked against you. But I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. You just came off of what, according to logs and journals, seems to be a VERY harrowing adventure.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Vee: Why don't you come with me and have something to eat. Cherry is fixing something for us.

Cherry says:
@::sniffs the meat cautiously::

Host Sulek says:
All: Then shall we get moving.  ::heads off in the direction of the tricorder scan::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
@ ACTION: Another migraine strikes Pangborn, another image of Jeremiah Terry -- "... She is death, destroyer of worlds ..."

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::grabs his head suddenly::

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: And I AM dangerous now. Weird abilities and all.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
<Vee> @ ::Sees Pangborn grab his head:: Cherry: CHERRY! ::Rushes to him::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Terry: Who are you?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: That too. Any strange feelings. Mood swings. ::Looks at PADD:: Morning sickness?

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::writhes::

Cherry says:
@::drops the knife she was just about to slice the sandwiches with and runs towards the sound of Vee's voice::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
@ ACTION: Terry fades before he can answer.

Kraight says:
:: follows the Captain ::

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: Am I supposed to be pregnant with an alien messiah now as well?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
<Vee> @ ::Stares at Pangborn and thinks the question is for her:: Pangborn: I-I don't know. ::Upset by what's happening to Pangborn, she darts out of the house::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: Of course not, don't be ridiculous.

Cherry says:
@ ::calls after her::  Vee: Vee!  ::turns to Ben, torn in two::  Ben:  Are you all right?

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: Well, when one talks about immaculate conceptions, it does cause one to wonder, doesn't it?

Kraight says:
:: still scanning ::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::shakes it off - or tries to:: Cherry: I'm fine. I think I upset Vee. She ran out of the house ::remains composed::

Jade_Morgan says:
#::is beyond frustrated at this point.::

Cherry says:
@::runs out of the house calling Vee's name::

Host Sulek says:
::sets a quick and steady pace toward the rise which appears to be about one kilometer away::

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: I'm not pregnant, Sort of Investigator Marshall.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::sits and thinks::

Cherry says:
@::looks around for Vee::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: Your medical examination has suggested that is the truth. ::Stands up and begins to pace:: Now, have you had any lapses in memory of late?

David_Telarus says:
All: There seems to be a stable chamber beyond the temple, underground.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
@ ACTION: Vee has vanished. But Cherry gets the strange feeling she is being watched.

Kraight says:
All: Confirmed. Scans indicate a number of passages leading downward from there.

Cherry says:
@::feels a horrible prickly sensation at the back of her neck::

Jade_Morgan says:
#::laughs bitterly:: Marshall: So, let me get this straight....I had sex with a stranger, forgot about it, and then killed the psychologist, and forgot about that too? My, how convenient for me.

Cherry says:
@::calls out::  Ben:  Ben!

Host Sulek says:
Kraight: Any openings into the underground passages or something near the surface that we can cut one into?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: Now, now. We're not suggesting anything of the sort ...

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::cringes at the loud sound, yells:: Cherry: I'm coming ::gets up and goes to her::

Kraight says:
Sulek: No need... we have only to find an entrance into the upper chamber. All the passages lead downward from there.

Cherry says:
::turns to Ben as he comes out of the house.  Thinks he looks a bit pale::  Ben:  Something is not right.  Can you feel it?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: But Command is concerned about these abilities of yours. And the effect they're having on you. There seemed to be multiple claims from so-called "precognitive" that you were to pose a great danger?

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::stops:: Cherry: Yes. I can. Where is Vee? Did you find her?

Cherry says:
@Ben:  No sign of her.  ::looks around carefully, and not just for Vee::

Host Sulek says:
:;checking scans and making sure that all is being recorded, he notes the nearest likely location for one of the openings and turns towards it::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: Damn. Well we are on an island. She can't have gone far.

Cherry says:
@Ben:  You don't have a tricorder stashed in the house, do you?  ::continues looking around::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: The temple is empty and abandoned. Intricate carvings fill the walls but get less and less worn down the farther they are from the entrance. They seem to tell tales of beings long ago.

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: Okay...so, let me get this straight. I'm a pregnant, forgetful, dangerous murderer who just happens to see auras? Wow...you guys have been busy, haven't you? Who, pray tell, who is the father of my child? The construct, perhaps? Is that why I'm dangerous? Perhaps my cyborg child will destroy the Federation before it's three?

David_Telarus says:
::follows the Captain::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: Whoa whoa whoa, Ms. Morgan, calm down. I was just asking a question. There's nothing to suggest that you are pregnant.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: There's one in the bedroom. Near the Comm. unit I've kept on standby.

Host Sulek says:
::pausing to study the carvings:: Kraight: Perhaps a history?  ::sets tricorder on a wide scan to record the images::

Cherry says:
@::quietly::  Ben:  Phaser?

Kraight says:
:: nods slowly :: Sulek: Very possibly...    :: also records the images ::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: I'll start looking, get the tricorder. No phaser, I didn't think we'd need one. Do we?

Cherry says:
@::very quietly::  Ben:  Something or someone is watching us, right now.  And I don't think its Vee.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::grim:: Cherry: I'll fill you in later, but that would explain some things

Host Sulek says:
Kraight: Too bad that we do not have a 'Rosetta' stone for this. ::moving on::

Cherry says:
@::looks at Ben in surprise::

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: Perhaps one should be careful when playing mind games with the dangerously homicidal, Mr. Marshall. ::opens her eyes for the first time and truly looks at him::

Kraight says:
:: smiles :: Sulek: We don't have one yet, you mean.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ::Gulps::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: C-could you recite, for me, exactly what you were doing up and until the time of the murder? Or, if you will, when you discovered the body?

Jade_Morgan says:
#::sees his aura flare briefly and frowns::

Host Sulek says:
Telarus: Be sure to take physical samples of places where the carvings have flaked away.  Perhaps we can learn what means were used to carve this giving us an idea of the level of the civilization.

Cherry says:
@::continues looking around suspiciously::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::searches for Vee::

Cherry says:
@Ben:  It's gone.

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: Nervous, Mr. Marshall? You'd think that YOU were the one on trial........

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: What is gone?

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: The unseen?

Cherry says:
@Ben:  Whatever was watching us.

Cherry says:
@::realizes she sounds as crazy as Pangborn used to be::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: That still leaves Vee to be found. She must be here somewhere

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
@ ACTION: Another migraine strikes Pangborn, this time it nearly causes him to lose consciousness. A visage of a beaten and bloodied Cherry appears before Pangborn, sobbing - "Please! PLEASE don't let her kill me, please!" and then she vanishes.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::staggers in pain::

Cherry says:
@::calls out::  Vee:  Vee!  Come back!  Everything is okay!

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ::He stares at her:: Morgan: I'm j-just tired. Now, if you could please tell me what you were doing up and until the point of discovering the body ...

Cherry says:
@::notices Ben stagger::  Ben:  What is it?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: The ancient air that hasn't touched living flesh in centuries tingles against the trio as they move deeper into the temple. There is a sense of agelessness here. As if this place existed before the dawn of time.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: Stop. We must return to the house. Vee will be fine without us for the time being. In fact, I'm not so sure we want her around right now ::rubs his head::

David_Telarus says:
::starts taking samples and storing them::

David_Telarus says:
CO: Let see what stories these samples will tell us.

Jade_Morgan says:
#::continues to stare unblinkingly at Marshall::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: Are you going to speak, Ms. Morgan or should we just forgo anything until the court martial occurs?

Cherry says:
@Ben:  All right.  She certainly knows how to look after herself.  ::takes Ben's arm and heads back into the house::

Host Sulek says:
Telarus: Hopefully good ones.  ::watches as dust of centuries is disturbed by his boots:: All: At least we know that no team has entered this way.

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: I was out. I came home. He was dead on the floor. I was arrested.

Kraight says:
Sulek: Indeed. R'vwar will no doubt be pleased.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: What were you doing out at the time? Where had you been?

Host Sulek says:
Kraight: There could however be other entrances.  The scans I'm getting indicate the underground passages are quite numerous.

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: I was shopping. I came home. ::still staring at him::

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::follows:: Cherry: I've been....seeing things...some from what I feel is the past - though I'm not certain. And some things that may yet happen. Come inside and I'll explain. It may be a 'gift' from my old friend that haunted me so long.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ::Nods, makes a note on his PADD. Without looking up, he says:: Morgan: Find anything good?

Cherry says:
@::goes inside and sits quietly waiting for Ben to explain::

Kraight says:
Sulek: I can't see that we have any reason to choose one passage over the others. A random choice may be the best we can do.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::follows her in:: Cherry: I'm not sure how to explain this. But someone or something may be trying to kill us. And it may be Vee. I'd like to think not, but we've got to consider the possibility

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: Not really.

Host Sulek says:
Kraight: Agreed.  I suggest we go down the first major passage indicating downward slope.  Once we reach the bottom, it should, I think level off.  We can establish a base camp there.

Cherry says:
@::nods::  Ben:  Jade has already said that Vee is dangerous, and I believe her.  But Ben... think of this.  ::pauses to collect her thoughts::

Kraight says:
:: walks along the nearest cluster of passage entrances ::

Cherry says:
@Ben:  Jade has been framed for murder.  You are being attacked by something.  Something is watching us.  Is it possible that all of us who went to the construct are being targeted?

Kraight says:
:: stops :: Sulek: This passage has a downward slope of 1:15. That's the steepest of the nearby passages.

Host Sulek says:
Kraight: You have the honors.  Which passage shall it be....then lead on Mr. Kraight.

David_Telarus says:
::sets down a beacon:: All: I have set a beacon just in case we get lost.

David_Telarus says:
::something is familiar about the markings, but can’t quite put his finger on it::

Host Sulek says:
Telarus: A wise precaution.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::nods:: Cherry: Very possible. We need to be on our guard. I'll arrange for weapons to be delivered. I'd say we could leave, but somehow that doesn't seem right. We need to see this through. For better or worse. We must find Vee.

Kraight says:
:: switches on his wrist light and heads down the indicated passage ::

Host Sulek says:
::follows::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: I have some questions about your so-called 'Journey.'

Cherry says:
@::nods::  Ben:  I'd feel better if I knew how the Captain and Commander Kraight were doing.  Is it possible to contact them?

Ben_Pangborn says:
@ Cherry: We should be able to. ::grins:: as long as they've followed orders and stayed within the core worlds. I'll contact them as soon as possible.

Jade_Morgan says:
#::smiles bitterly and leans her head back, closing her eyes once again.:: Marshall: By all means.......

Cherry says:
@Ben:  Thank you.  ::all the stress of the last couple of days catches up to her::

Kraight says:
:: scanning, walking slowly ::

Host Sulek says:
::shines his light beam along the surface of the passage walls::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: You recall the world of the Q'Ether, where you acquired your abilities?

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: Kraight feels something give under one of his feet as he takes a step.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::gets up and rummages through the refrigerator:: Cherry: I know...food at this time....but I'm starved for some reason ::picks up a piece of meat and smells it:: Is this okay to eat?

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: I'll get on the comm. right after I eat.

Kraight says:
:: stops :: All: Halt. Something in the floor may be unstable.

Cherry says:
@::laughs in spite of herself::  Ben:  You try it first.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: Click.

Kraight says:
:: takes one careful step back, then kneels to examine the floor with his wrist light ::

Host Sulek says:
::kneels down near Kraight and scans for fracturing::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: A piece of the floor has been depressed. There is a clicking within the walls. Something has been set off.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@:;eats it anyways:: Cherry: I've always been a scientist you know. It was my first assignment. Doesn't taste bad....

Kraight says:
:: tricorder beeps wildly :: Sulek: Sir, we've triggered... something...

Jade_Morgan says:
#::nods silently::

Cherry says:
@Ben:  If you don't die in ten minutes, I'll try some.  ::gets up and turns the outside lights on, so Vee can more easily find her way home::

Kraight says:
:: scans the walls, trying desperately to figure out what has been activated ::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: The ground and walls rumble. There is a roaring behind them as a light compression air burst pushes past them. The passage is being rapidly closed from where they came.

Host Sulek says:
Kraight: There are no indications of fractures...it appears to be...perhaps a security device...All: Back up the passage.

Kraight says:
Sulek: No! The passage is closing... collapsing in that direction. We have to go deeper!

Host Sulek says:
::seeing that way shut, he turns:: All: Down the passage, quickly.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: According to the logs, you were overcome by a virus of sorts? Was this because of your Minaran physiology?

Kraight says:
:: turns and runs ::

Host Sulek says:
::sets off at a run::

Cherry says:
@::looks out the window, feeling uneasy::

David_Telarus says:
::runs as fast as he can::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: Sand and stone rush after the trio as they desperately run down the corridor, the unknown before them ... certain death behind them.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::finishes eating and head to the bedroom to the comm. unit:: Cherry: I'll be looking for the captain.

Cherry says:
@Ben:  Thank you Ben.  ::resumes looking out the window::

Jade_Morgan says:
#::shrugs:: Marshall: I'm not a scientist, Mr. Marshall.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::reaches the bedroom and turns on the comm. unit, waiting for it to power up::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# Morgan: No, but Minarans are usually good and understanding what is happening to them. Did you CHOOSE to absorb what was afflicting those people?

Kraight says:
:: scans, looking for any side passages they might duck into to escape the onrushing collapse ::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
@ ACTION: The comm. unit powers up ... but there is no signal.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Self: Damn

Host Sulek says:
::allows the incline to help him gain speed::

Jade_Morgan says:
#::quietly:: Marshall: No, I did not.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
@ ACTION: Something beeps - "Signal being disrupted."

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ::Leans forward:: Morgan: What was that?

Ben_Pangborn says:
@::returns to Cherry, leaving the comm. unit on to search for a signal::

Cherry says:
@Ben:  Any luck?

Kraight says:
:: points :: All: Look! Light up ahead!

Host Sulek says:
::charging for it:: Kraight: I see it.

Jade_Morgan says:
#Marshall: I said, no.

Ben_Pangborn says:
@Cherry: None. The comm. unit says that something is disrupting the signal. I'm not sure why. I left it running to see if it clears, but for now, we're on our own. ::looks out the window::

David_Telarus says:
::keeps just on following trying to notice any other possible routes::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: The trio burst out of the tunnel and are hurled forward by an explosion of sand, debris and compressed air. They land on their stomachs and are briefly disoriented by the light. They seem to be in a large chamber of sorts. There is stone and purple sand all over the place, and parts of the wall seem to be made of glass or something similarly reflective. 

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
ACTION: It's reflecting light, but as it's reflecting it in multiple places the true source is unknown.

David_Telarus says:
::sees the light:: All: Look at this ::takes out his tricorder and attempts to sort out where the source is coming from::

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
@ ACTION: Elsewhere, Vee sits on the beach crying to herself, mumbling ... "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." In the jungle, two figures watch and speak amongst themselves, "'ould 'e 'ake our 'ove?" "Not yeeeet, Mr. Brute. But soooon. Veeeeery soon," his companion responds.

Host Zachary_Marshall says:
# ACTION: On Earth, we move out of the chamber where Marshall & Morgan speak to a secluded room where a single monitor is set up. Two Romulans watch, one speaks - "That's our target. Everything is set and prepared as we thought it would be. When shall we engage with termination?" "One hour."
