*The ship is vast as the bulkheads are dark, the air is running, but gravity is low.. The lights don't work...*
Velvar: Well isn't this creepy... Who votes to go into the creepy corridor.
S. Sam: Like we have a choice.
*She takes out a small beacon light from her pocket and begins leading the way, with Velvar following. C. Sam looks at Delby, gesturing towards the two leaders as though encouraging Delby to go ahead.*
Delby: Oh no. After you.
*C. Sam glares at her before complying as the two catch up with S. Sam and Velvar.*
S. Sam: Don't run. There's not a lot of gravity here. Won't take much for you to just float into a wall if you do anything more than walk.

*They progress through the ship reaching bulkheads and slow moving walls. But the pressure on Sam's mind and its loud noise in her mind that is incomprehensible. *
*Dorman feels the death the Relay implosion caused.... and lowers his head... he looks at the galaxy map as the area fades out*
Dorman: Captain.. If I may go and see my wife. We have a lot to talk about and catch up on.
Matt I think you might want to see your wife. Not sure how long any of us will have.
*Stane cursing the luck he has as Waff's fleet makes its way to one of the hidden bases.*
Stane: We continue our game then. Destabilization.
*Venture sick bay*
*Widow is standing outside waiting for the doctors to finish... She does notice Sanders standing behind her as they stabilize him...*
Widow: Captain... *wiping her eyes..* I did not know you were here.
*OOC: Okay, I'm ignoring you calling John "Captain" 'cause naval tradition does give him that title, but he is just a Commander in rank. :rolleyes:
Okay, I'm fine now.*
John: Go ahead, Admiral.
*Matt leaves, heading to sickbay.
After Dorman leaves, John turns to the holo-map, looking at the spot where the Relay was, only seeing a mangled chunk of metal.*
Goodbye, James.
Inform the Bridge that I'll be in the Brig.
*2 minutes later, he walks into the Brig, looking at Kela.*
I think you should know that the Relay's been destroyed. Whoever you were trying to bring through aren't coming.
You should also know that because of what you and Stane were trying to do, a good man gave his life. A man with a family, a sister, parents, a nephew, two nieces.
*They progress through the ship reaching bulkheads and slow moving walls. But the pressure on Sam's mind and its loud noise in her mind that is incomprehensible. *
Velvar: Can anyone feel that pressure??
S. Sam *painfully*: Feels like... something calling...
S. Sam *painfully*: Feels like... something calling...
Delby: I don't feel anything.
C. Sam: Me neither.
*They reach a room that is dark and quiet but not for S. Sam or Velvar*
Velvar: I think this is it but I don't quite understand. What is this. *he taps controls*
*The lights come on that reveal the vast room filled with terminals working on minimal power and a stasis tank with a humanoid in it. The workers on the walls ignore them as they continue to operate. *

Just thought you'd like to know that.
Kela: They are still coming. A small victory that comes at high price. Especially when it delays the inevitable. *laughs*
You did not kill Stane nor will you stop what is coming.
Plus you killed a few million people on the neighboring systems to destroy the relay... So don't think your better than me. Your not. All of you have their blood on your hands.

John: You think we made that choice easily? Several million people or a hundred trillion. The difference is we chose the lesser of two evils.
Commander James Mitchell - the man who sacrificed his life to destroy that Relay - was a good man. He gave his life to save trillions. The Klingons call that honour. So do I. Something people like you wouldn't understand.
*He throws a PADD into her cell, momentarily dropping the forcefield so it can enter, before glaring at her.*
Mitchell was a friend of mine. That PADD has his final words on it; everything he said while he was on the Relay. Listen to it. You might learn something about sacrifice before we give you to the U.G.C. and let them string you up for war crimes.

*She ponders for a moment about that mind meld. Was Damon still alive.*
*R.S.S. Republic, Situation Room. The Senior Officers of the Republic, Sam, Matt, Dorman, Reynolds and John are all gathered as David fills everyone in on the events at Veridian.*
David: We don't know a hell of a lot about what is happening, but what we do know is that Veridian is building up to supernova. When it does, it will take the entire system with it.
John: Is the system inhabited?
David: Viridian IV is home to a pre-warp civilisation. They're society is at the technological level of mid-20th century Earth, prior to the advent of atomic energy. There are at least 3 Billion people there.
Sam: Let me guess; the star was not supposed to go nova this early.
David: Exactly. Long range scans show a massive amount of twilight energy being fired directly into Veridian's sun.
T'mar: Gee, it's as though someone gave the Shadows a sword capable of destroying--
Sam: Shut up.
Matt: Why would the Shadows do this?
Sam: Theatrics. He needs to use S'tak'ra to open the Forge. He knows that once he does that, we can find him.
Matt: So this is a distraction.
Sam: No. It's a countdown.
David: To what?
Sam: Extinction.
He's going to let the star go nova and, in the wake of the wave, he's going to bring the entire Shadow fleet through, unopposed.
Matt: But his forces on the planet--
Siraga: Will be able to port across the entire Galaxy once they arrive.
*Siraga, Taraka and Ryan have all emerged in the room.*
Ryan: There is no way any of you will be able to stop them once they've arrived. 5 Shadow Vessels? A challenge. Drazaak is going to bring in hundreds!
Siraga: Not even my people at their height could challenge that many vessels, except with the aid of the Preservers, Guardians and Shedai. Now, there are only a handful of Guardians left.
We'll only be able to stop the Shadows if we strike before Veridian goes nova. We destroy the blade once and for all.
Ooc: if possible let's try to get moving with this before Monday. After Monday for me is bad as I work opening shifts a week. If not I'll manage just would be nice.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

Dorman: *Bringing up the Innovade consular* Given the current state of things the Federation is committed to putting this to an end. Its what Allen would want us to do, not to mention those that are not here to help.
How long do we have?
*The Innovade comes on the screen, his eyes glowing as he is connected to the rest.*
Drexler: You have around 72 hours but that is a rough estimate. We have moved out more of the Twilight weaponry and Outfitted them onto the MS squads and Ships. The Captured WMD that was acquired was much help in finding a trick to have it adapted to our technology. But again the cool down rate on the ships with fold space drives will run the chance of extreme consequences...
Dorman: What are those perhaps?
Drexler: Anything from Overload of the neuro-gel packs, to drive core breach, or at worst a artificial singularity.

Siraga: If you check, you'll find that the rate of collapse is increasing. You actually have less time.
No matter how many people you arm with twilight weapons, you won't be able to fight a Shadow army.
We can.
Sam: But they can distract the Shadows.
Siraga: A distraction which will likely cost them their lives.
We'll get ready for the coming battle.
*Sam stands up.*
Sam: I'm coming with you.
*Siraga nods and the guardians vanish again with her, except Ryan.*
Ryan: Admmiral Dorman, good to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances.
