Summary - Aeon Qui'dinjori, former Ambassador to the United Federation of Planets now appears to have been elevated to the title of "Aeon." What its significance is, no one is really sure. S/he has somehow changed however, taking on a more authoritative appearance...a ten year old child, s/he glows with an inner golden light.

Captain Sulek, Captain Tannis, Commander Azhure and Commander Powers all follow behind the Noori creature as s/he and its companions lead them through the abandoned Promenade. They pass the Fire Side Grill - it's windows sealed shut and the formerly grand three story restaurant showing the signs of age and disuse.

In orbit of the station Commander Kraight works on his analysis of the Noori scans. He uses a Federation console, technology somehow merged with the Noori vessel itself. He is monitored closely by the very laid back and calm Ambassador Starr'aela. The distant wail of Noori spirits seem to echo off in the distance...

That leaves precious few senior staff to guard the U.S.S. Quirinus. She remains docked in the dark hanger of Crossroads Station. Lieutenant JG Jervase prepares to head for the ships medical bays and Commander Pangborn is left with what seems like a skeleton crew on the bridge...

This is but the calm before the storm...

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::walking near Qui as s/he seems to hover along:: Qui: How much of the station have you been able to stabilize?
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Following next to the Captain ::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::walking along the promenade of the ghost station, his hands stiffly by his side, as the party follows the Aeon...::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
:: sitting at the helm, reading a PADD and running a diagnostic of the navigation and helm systems ::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO: Sadly very little...though we require very little space in order to survive. ::S/he hovers above the deck plating, passing by the Grill:: Our primary challenge has been maintaining the Station's defensive capabilities.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO: We have reduced power in much of the station, for our defence...and to conserve precious resources...
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# :: continues to run the anomaly data through several standard algorithms... takes a moment to set his tricorder to record the environment... perhaps the wailings are a language... ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: With so little of the station powered, what defences do you have left.  I've also noted that you have what appears to be at least two ship beside the Celestial on patrol.

ACTION - The conn console beeps as a communiqué is routed from the abandoned Operations console to Ensign Thursson's position.

Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@::S/he nods and continues alone the abandoned corridor:: CO: Very little I am afraid. The Lilithine have attempted to take advantage of our vulnerability and at one point used the station's shuttles against us. Without life support on the docking levels that threat has been reduced.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
*XO*: Sir, I'm receiving a communiqué.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: So then support for our section of docking has been established for our arrival.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::slows to the back of the pack, taking his time to note the progress, or lack thereof, in the upkeep of the station... an important station with good defences, perhaps, but not much to defend::

ACTION - The Commander doesn't response and the beeping continues on Thursson's display. The bridge seems to be oddly silent, as if Erik were all alone.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# :: looks around ::   Starr'aela: Ambassador... may I have a word?
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO: Indeed...we would actually appreciate if you were to remove the possibility of a second attempt and remove your Federation shuttles from the docking levels...
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
:: opens the communiqué ::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
#<Starr'aela> ::S/he hovers over towards the Benzite man:: CSO: Of course, Commander. How may I be of service?
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
<Voice> COM: FCO: U.S.S. Quirinus, this is a sister...please respond.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: Of course.  I had not realized that any were left behind.  If we are unable to fit them on the Quirinus, we can code disable them.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO: That would be greatly appreciated...
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::finishes packing what equipment he needs, and starts away from the research lab he'd been pretty much vacationing in since arriving aboard::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# Starr'aela: I know that the Noori value their privacy, and I respect that. However, Federation scientists know very little about your species' physiology. If I am to make sense of these results, I must have the answers to a few basic questions in that regard. May I ask them of you?
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
COM: Voice: Uh.. hello. This is Ensign Thursson of the U.S.S Quirinus, how may I be of assistance?

ACTION - The Aeon leads the group towards the centre of the Promenade. The Away Teams tricorders begin to detect elevated levels of bio-energy. It appears as if the walls are saturated in the energy.

Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
<Voice> COM: CO: Ensign? Where is Captain Sulek? There is much we must discuss and there is not much time.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
::makes his way toward the airlock, and then station-side::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
#<Starr'aela> ::S/he seems to ponder this for a moment:: CSO: Ask your questions. I will answer what I am able to.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@*OPS*: There are a few Federation shuttles left on station, make arrangements to bring those we can aboard the Quirinus and have the rest code disabled so that no one but Federation can use them.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
COM: Voice: The Captain is not on board at the moment, if you give me a moment I can contact him for you. May I tell him who is contacting him?
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::makes his way towards a lift, re-familiarizing himself with the layout as he heads for the medical level::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
<Voice> ::The voice is definitely female, though it is quite muffled:: COM: FCO: A friend from the sisterhood...
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# Starr'aela: Thank you. Is it correct to say that every Noori individual generates and is permeated by a bio-energy field?

ACTION - Qui'dinjori slows to a stop and glances towards one of the lifts that lead to Command & Control. S/he pauses for a moment. "You do not want to be here, Commander Powers, is that not true?”

Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
#<Starr'aela> CSO: It is what makes us who we are...it is our essence...our "soul" if you will...
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@Qui: It does not matter where I wish to be, I go where I am needed.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::steps off the lift, and scans the corridor as he makes his way towards the labs::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::he gives a quick glance towards the CTO::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
COM: Voice: Okay then. :: mutes the communication :: *CO*: Quirinus to Sulek. Captain, there's someone on the comm. for you, they only identified themselves as "a friend from the sisterhood."
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CTO: Well said Commander. You are needed in the here and now. CO: We do not possess the knowledge necessary to maintain the defensive systems of this station. It was my hope that Commander Powers would educate one of our own...
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# :: nods ::   Starr'aela: And would it not also be correct to say that a Noori can no more survive the removal of hir bio-energy field than a human could survive without oxygen?

ACTION - Qui'dinjori pauses at Ensign Thursson's communication and s/he eyes Sulek for a moment.

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::stepping back and wondering how much of the last announcement Qui heard:: *FCO* Indeed.  I am unable to talk to her at the moment.  Explain to her that I am with Qui and then...take a message ::louder:: from Sister Hood.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
#<Starr'aela> CSO: In essence, yes. Without the energy, we are no more whole then a human without oxygen. ::S/he gives a nod::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Tries not to raise an eyebrow Vulcan style ::  Aloud: Educate... ?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks at Bill with a touch of humour.::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
*CO*: Um, yes, sir. :: un-mutes the communication :: COM: Voice: The Captain regrets he cannot speak with you at the moment, he's busy with Qui. He asked me to take a message.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# Starr'aela: As I suspected. The data from the Noori vessel's encounter with the temporal rift indicates that the rift acted to strip the bio-energy field from the crew. That is how they died.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::finds himself an apparently available lab, and goes to step inside::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
<Voice> ::The voice on the other end can be heard stifling a laugh:: COM: FCO: Tell Sulek that he had best keep his distance from Qui'dinjori. The Noori are up to something terrible, and we intend to stop hir. We shall make contact soon. ::The voice goes quiet and the comm. goes dead::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: I am sure Commander Powers would be more than helpful to assess ::pointedly to Powers:: the systems and help your officer.

ACTION - As soon as Jervase steps inside the lab he hears horrified screams. The wailing comes from another room attached to the medical lab...there are more then one cries of pain...

FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
:: frowns and takes the message down and transfers it to the Captain's ready room for him to view later ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: Tries not to balk at the idea ::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO: Excellent, thank you, Captain. ::S/he turns her focus to Azhure and s/he seems to gage her for a moment:: CNS: You...left...for a time, did you not?
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::pauses for perhaps half a second, then medical equipment gets located with each step across the room towards the source::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: After a moment, nods her head::

ACTION - A blue tinted Noori hovers from the back room towards Jervase with a smile on hir small face. "Greetings Lieutenant Michael Jervase. We have been expecting you."

FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
:: looks around at the empty bridge and grins a little before transferring his diagnostic to the console next to the captain's chair and gets up from the helm console and sits in the command chair and goes back to his reading ::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CNS: ...and when you returned...::S/he motions towards Tannis::...he had replaced Joanna?
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
#<Starr'aela> ::S/he pauses for a moment. There is no sign of horror on hir face, just acceptance:: CSO: Is there a way in which we can shield ourselves from such further...effects?
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::raises an eyebrow as the individual approaches him:: Noori: What's going on here?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::arrives on the Bridge and goes to Engineering station::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::remains silent, but wonders what the Aeon is getting at...::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Not in the same capacity, but again silently nods::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CNS: As suspected...::S/he glances towards Tannis and seems to review the newest of the team:: CIV: You shall serve your purpose. CO: Come, we shall proceed to Command & Control.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
:: notices the CEO enter the bridge and transfers his diagnostic back to the helm console and gets up out of the captain's chair :: CEO: Sir. :: goes back to the helm and sits down ::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::follows:: Qui: Of course.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks at Tannis for a moment before following.::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# Starr'aela: I am not certain. It might be possible to construct a "temporal shield" of some sort, but I know of no successful attempt to create such a technology.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::his eyes widen menacingly, before relaxing slightly.... again, he says nothing, and glances at the CNS in return::
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# Starr'aela: Possibly the best course, at least for the time being, would be long-range detection and avoidance.

ACTION - The group makes their way into the turbolift and it takes them up towards the command centre of the station. Qui'dinjori is fairly silent during the trip. Hir companions say nothing.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::transfers readouts to captain's chair and heads to chair and sits::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
FCO: Ensign report.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
#<Starr'aela> CSO: Any assistance you can provide in regards to this phenomenon would be greatly appreciated, Commander.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::decides not to wait for the Noori's response and goes to find out for himself::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CEO: Not much to report sir, it's pretty quiet. Most of the officers are on the Crossroads. I've just been running diagnostics and reading old ship logs for information.
CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# Starr'aela: I will contact Captain Sulek, and ask him to convey a request to the Federation that our temporal sensor technology be shared with your people.

ACTION - The doors to the back room slide open and Jervase notices that the storage chambers have been converted into cells. Five Ko'ra insectoids sit in their cells, all wailing in pain. Their tan hides are covered in bruises and burn marks. Two of the prisoners wail in pain...one appears to be bleeding from her abdomen...another has at least two broken bones that are protruding from the skin.

Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@<Noori> MO: We have been preparing the samples for your testing.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CO*: This is Lt. Telarus sir. I have taken command of the ship, any standing orders or any orders that you would like me to carry out?
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::raises both eyebrows, then turns to face the Noori:: Noori: Okay, now I think you'd better explain. *This*... ::jabs a finger at the prisoners:: doesn't look like research.

ACTION - The turbolift doors swish open revealing the Command & Control Centre. It appears to be the only part of the station that has maintained a pristine appearance. It appears to have faired well considering the lack of Federation support over the past year. At least a dozen Noori forms float around...

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::sends message to all departments to send status reports in absence of department heads::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@<Noori> MO: We are not scientists...Lieutenant...that is your job. ::S/he gives a sly smile and hovers away in silence:: Good luck with your studies.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::entering:: Qui: Perhaps now you can tell me about your title.  I have noticed that you have taken on an older appearance.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::just curses at the back of the departing Noori:: Self: Closest thing I've heard from the truth out of this tin can since I got here. The first time. ::opens his tricorder and starts scanning the prisoners::
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO: That...we shall discuss in private...::S/he motions towards the Commanding Officer's Office:: CIV: Captain, if you will please join us.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: Understood. ::follows hir to the office::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: As he and the Counselor are left behind ::  CNS: So...
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::if his eyebrows could go any higher he'd have no forehead... tries a deep tissue scan on the group::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Follows behind the others.::
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@::he gives a bit of a nod:: Qui: Of course. ::nodding to the others, he follows the CO along with the Aeon::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::steps back, stares at his scans for a minute, then taps his badge:: *CO*: Jervase to the captain. I think you aught to have a look at this.

ACTION - The doors of the office slide shut in Azhure's face, cutting her off from the private discussion.

CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Pauses at Bills' words and turns back around.::

ACTION - The gold Aeon hovers behind Captain Malachi's desk...the desk formerly occupied by Captain Joanna Matisse.

Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO/CIV: As both of you are well aware, the political situation here in the Xherivhan has been unstable for quite some time...
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CEO: Sir, there are at least a dozen shuttles on sensors being remotely operated that are requesting to be brought aboard.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Hearing the door swish close, looks back at for a moment, then continues toward Bill.::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@CNS: Quite a different place... what did he mean by me educating them?  Are we taking sides now?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
FCO: Put them into a standby pattern.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CEO: Wait... it appears there is one weak lifesign aboard one of the shuttles, sir.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@::moving opposite of Qui on the other side of the desk:: Qui: Unstable is a mild understatement, Aeon.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@Qui: Goes without saying, I add.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CTO: You are a good teacher.  They are not well trained for defensive apparently.
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CEO: It appears to be a Tzani.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::tries his badge again:: *CO*: Jervase to captain Sulek. ::already turns and heads for the door::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
FCO: Give that one landing priority.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@CNS: Before we tried to maintain an independence... now we're siding with the Noori?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Sick Bay*: This is Lt Telarus, emergency medical team to the Shuttle Bay. We have incoming.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@::S/he gives a curt nod:: CO/CIV: Following the Federation abandonment - ::That term is used with some weight:: - of the Xherivhan, it was determined that in order to survive, the Noori would need to band together to eliminate any threat posed by the Sisterhood. ::Hir eyes narrow for a brief moment as hir gaze falls on Sulek::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
CEO: Aye, sir. :: brings that one aboard and puts the rest on a standby pattern as they are each taken aboard one at a time and secured ::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
<MO_Ens_Selara> *Bridge*: Aye, bridge. Medical team's en route.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CTO: I would have a problem if they were asking for the offensive, but to protect oneself... that is another issue.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO/CIV: The other Noori nations were absorbed into the Syndicate...and as a result of our "restructuring" it was determined that single voice would be necessary to represent our issues. I...am that voice...
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Security*: To the shuttle bay, keep everyone there until we can establish a better accommodations situation.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@CNS: Sometimes the best offence is a good defence.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<Sec_Nani> *CEO*: Aye, sir.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::hits the main door and keeps walking:: Computer: Computer, locate captain Sulek. ::prays the federation computer still works::

ACTION - The shuttle is brought in by remote control. It lands safely and is contained for the time being. Sensors show no life-support aboard the small craft.

Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@<Computer> ::The familiar female voice is choppy and weak:: MO: Captain Sulek is located in Command & Control.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: Aeon...does your voice act as the Syndicate instructs, or is there authority there as well?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ CTO: This is true.  :: Steps closer and looks up into his eyes.::  There is something bothering you about this?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Shuttle Bay* Get it open.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO/CIV: I am the authority of the Syndicate.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::pace increases, and he b-lines for the nearest lift, demanding C and C the second he's inside::

ACTION - The lift doesn't respond. It has no power.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@CNS: Maybe a little.  Can't put my finger on it... maybe I need to read up more on the current political situation.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::sighs, and steps out, trying a different approach:: *Quirinus*: Jervase to the Quirinus. I'd like you to transport me directly to command and control, please. I don't have time to explain.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
#<Starr'aela> CSO: I pass on the thanks of the Aeon, Commander. ::S/he bows politely:: CSO: You must be tired from your journeys...I believe that your facilities have been prepared.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Looks away, her eyes searching the room but seeing something different.::  CTO: It has changed in ways not quite foreseen.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::hears the commotion over the comm.:: *Sick Bay*: Cut it open!

ACTION - Security and medical staff get the shuttlecraft opened. They find a small Tzani man curled up with an oxygen mask weakly held over his nose and mouth. He shakes violently on the floor of the shuttle.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
# Starr'aela: I could use some rest, to be honest. I can contact the Captain from my quarters.  :: gathers his equipment and luggage ::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Security*: What's the status?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: A dangerous choice.  How does one know if the authority you command with then comes from the Syndicate or from Qui'dinjori?  The weight of such power as a single voice for all, must be tremendous.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
<Nurse_McNiel> ::begins administering emergency triage::
FCO_Ens_Thursson says:
*MO*: Initiating transport, sir. :: controls the transporters from his console and beams the MO to the C&C of the Crossroads ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<Sec_Nani> *CEO*: One Tzani.. I think it's Trogdo.  Bad condition, but Medical is taking care of it.

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light Lieutenant Jervase is beamed onto the far side of Command & Control. The glow of the transporters almost seems to match the soft glow of the Noori that stand nearby.

MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::materialises about 3 feet from Azhure and Powers, takes a minute to adjust::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*MO* What are you currently doing right now Lieutenant?
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@CO: Authority comes only when the People are willing to grant that authority. Should the Aeon ::he nods accordingly:: act in discord with the other bands, I would imagine that this union would undoubtedly revert back, Sisterhood or no... Of course, using your authority now, why are we here in your office?
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CO/CIV: The effects, whether for the positive or negative, have yet to be seen. ::Hir attention turns to Tannis for a moment:: CIV: ...and you Captain, what is your place in all of this chaos?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@MO: Come to join us?
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@*CEO*: Calling a bluff, lieutenant. ::looks around the centre:: CNS/CTO: Where's the captain?
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CIV: Because no matter how united the Noori may be...we still require your assistance to ensure our hold on this Sector of space.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*MO*: Go into standby, we might need some help we are receiving some wounded people.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: points to the Ready Room::  MO: But I don't think you can go in.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@*CEO*: You'll be receiving a lot more, lieutenant. ::shakes his head:: This whole place stinks. ::closes the channel:: CTO: That wouldn't surprise me. I couldn't get up here without the help of Quirinus.
CIV_Capt_Tannis says:
@Qui: As for my place in this chaos, Aeon... my place is my own. My purpose is the same shared by all of us - to ensure that this sector of space remains... peaceful.
Aeon_Qui`dinjori says:
@CIV: Then you have been well placed. Peace is what we all seek...::Hir focus returns to Sulek, recalling his efforts to forge peace in the Holy Space::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@::adds after a moment:: CTO: Something's not quite right here by any stretch of the imagination.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@MO: There are many things not right for the simple fact they are hidden.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@CNS: Not as hidden as they should be. I assume you've tried to contact the captain recently?
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
@:: snorts ::  MO: You can say that again.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Security*: You have LCARS access I need background checks and questions asked before you release the people to quarters. Get them in and out processed. Have the medics do their job there, have them set-up triage camp there.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Steps away from Bill.  Quietly:: MO: Are you alright?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui:  You have asked for our help in science and in an advisory capacity.  My failure as a peace negotiator in this sector is well known.  Despite the fact that what occurred was well beyond the control of the Federation, I have shouldered much of the blame.
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@CNS: I'm fine. Azhure. ::nods, then shows her the tricorder readings:: This sector, though? Not so much.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
@Qui: And yet time and again, from your demi-gods to others, we have been warned that our course is dangerous.  The question in this sector is not who do we trust, but who can we trust?

ACTION - Starr'aela leads Kraight towards a small chamber that seems to have been created specifically for him. The room isn't spacious by Starfleet standards, but it is functional and will serve its purpose.

CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ :: Takes the tricorder and looks it through, closing her eyes.::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@CNS: Their 'research', at its finest. ::knows she's aware of at least part of his previous conversation, so explanation isn't necessary::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
@ ::Opens her eyes, a depth of sadness clearly seen there.::
MO_LtJG_Jervase says:
@CNS: There's a connection between this and the station's being difficult when it comes to me getting up here, or contacting anyone. They obviously don't want this becoming common knowledge.

ACTION - The Tzani Trogdo is rushed to sickbay to be stabilized. At the same time Commander Azhure sees the readings that Jervase took previously. The Ko'ra "samples" have endured weeks worth of torture, beatings, lacerations...one of the women has even had her reproductive organs surgically removed...with her wounds not being closed properly following her operation. The great calm before the storm seems to be waning. Sulek is correct...who can they trust in this endless hell?
