    Bri: The Dominion thing is still up in the air right now. Odo for sure is on our side. I'm not so sure about the rest of the founders.

    Cunningham: The Romulans were on your side? And they didn't stab you in the back?.. this place just sounds more outlandish each passing statement... But a wormhole with the bajorans? Really? I'm sure after the expeditionary forces from cardassia joining the battles, the federation in my time will actually want to help commit to their liberation... I was never able to help them..

    *******

    Donovan: what to discuss next then? Or is it time for me to leave?

    *********

    Freeman: it's good to see you, Rin! Seku is the reason we have this ship. Was hers during the clone wars... *He whispers right after* and her helping us is one of the biggest reasons Mister Moral High ground left her in the dust thinking she was going back to the way of Hondo.

    Seku: the hell...

    Val: I suppose not… what were you two doing here anyway? *she seems to calm down for now*

    ******

    Kara: my mom fought in the war. Well back in my universe anyway, lost the second autumn to a swarm of bug ships.

    ******

    Lythe: the mon-Keigh here are strange… xenophobia doesn’t exist and they prefer to solve issues diplomatically. It is a complete change from back home but I suppose it’s for the better. As for history I am still figuring that out myself.

    ******

    *evelynn is currently sleeping on the floor*

    Jaessa: well Sam and I have some things to take care of and seeing as how eve is asleep it seems as good a time as any. I hope you don’t mind if I leave her here with you *she looks at henha*

    ******

    Kenzie: *walks next to freeman looking down at rin thru her helmet* spartan 229 lieutenant mackenzie carter I don’t have any titles or anything. *she says shrugging* how long have you two know each other? I figured he had always been in the clan… then again I know jack sh*t about him too. *she shrugs again*

    Krystal: No one knew about the Wormhole until the late 2360s when Starfleet stumbled across it after the Cardassians withdrew from Bajor.
    And the Romulans at first had a Non-Aggression Pact with the Dominion, before they declared war on the Dominion. They had just as much to lose as anyone else. Think the Tholians had one the whole war so they sat it out.

    Janri: She wanted to test my abilities, we did a strength test and a test of my ice powers, but she wasn't quite satisfied with the latter because I didn't want to damage the ship. She also wanted to test some stuff like... Polymorphing? *She shakes her head with confusion, looking to Val* Does that mean I can shapeshift? You've never mentioned anything like that before. She seemed a bit upset with how you were handling my training.

    ***

    Reina: *She coughs* Gonna be an interesting conversation when she meets Seventeen... think we should let her know about that ahead of time?

    T'Lera: I'm not too surprised the Tholians would sit out... they tend to avoid everyone else unless they're there to f*** something up. *With the drinks finishes she comes to help with the food*

    ***

    Nova: That sounds much more pleasant than home... few of any of the species my people know of are very amicable.

    Nexa: I can get you quarters here or on the station, and maybe I can get one of the introductory kits for Lythe too to help her with our history. *She looks at Nova's armor* Because walking around like that is going to draw a lot of attention...

    Nova: I do have an undersuit, but I do not have alternative attire, I may need assistance with this.

    ***

    Henha: Its okay to leave her here, I already agreed to babysit, and Cerys is still crashing on the couch too. *She jabs a finger as she begins to clean the dishes*

    Samaia: *She smiles softly* I think Evelynn looks comfortable enough anyway.

    ***

    Rin: We've known each other for many years, we used to fight for the rebellion together. Though, I went my own way after the Empire fell. With the rise of the Jedi and the New Republic, I wasn't as welcome as I used to be, though they don't really bother me so long as I keep my nose out of trouble. *She smiles softly trying to sound reassuring to Seku* Hey, maybe we could catch up a bit? Been a while.

    Cunningham: Sounds like the tholians alright. *she looks at the drink* So what is this drink exactly?... and who is this seventeen? an android I'd guess with a numeric name like that.

    Bri: my dad back in my universe and here fought in the dominion war... the version of him here was trapped on a bug ship for awhile... like a long while.

    Cunningham: Bug ships?

    *******

    Donovan: when Cerys wakes, could you tell me? I don't think i should continue to intrude here.

    *********

    Freeman: Rin is uhh... well she's not malevolently evil, so you can trust me there, right jorin? She was part of the rebel cell I joined about... eleven years before yavin or so. She also helped train my little brother a bit with force and saber stuff... well as much as the living moral high ground would let her. Seku took charge of his saber training mainly.

    Seku: where is eli anyways? *she asks sounding a bit sad, looking at rin then down to the ground* and... yeah I'd like to catch up.

    val: admittedly i have been lax with your training..... im not really sure how to teach this stuff to me it just comes naturally so its difficult to explain it......

    ******

    kara: little frigate sized ships the dominion used in swarms to overwhelm larger ships. they had a name for the class but starfleet just called em bug ships.

    ******

    lythe: i have already been taking those courses. im joining starfleet after all so i will need to know its history. as for clothing i am unsure.

    ******

    jaessa: yeah she does. *she looks over at donovan* see you later then, and dont be a stranger. *she says getting up* i'll let you know when she when she gets up if im around for it.

    ******

    jorin: *looks at rin for a moment then seku and freeman with a ponderous expression* eleven years.... i think i was a kid at that time but i dont remember any of my early life..... its probably for the best..... its not something to get into with present company anyway. *she says with a thousand yard stare*

    kenzie: huh ok then.

    Krystal: *goes to a panel and brings up an image of a bug ship* Also doesn't help that the main body kinda looks like a beetle. As for Seventeen... no. She's not an android. She was liberated from the Borg Collective. Another enemy of the Federation. The Borg... literally take people and transform them into drones that are given numeric designations. A techno-organic hive mind that doesn't negotiate. They spread like a virus, assimilating just about everything as long as it brings them "closer to perfection". There's very few things they won't assimilate.

    I'll make sure you get a full briefing on them later as well.

    Not gonna lie... the Galaxy is a lot more dangerous than it was in the 23rd Century.

    Janri: She seems to be upset at how you've been handling it... admittedly I would like to learn more. But I understand that its kind of a new thing for you. Though, I'm curious what I'm *really* capable of from how she spoke.

    ***

    Reina: Seventeen is also a... Romulan. She's the officer specifically in charge of K-13. I thought we should warn you, to avoid any "surprises" when you eventually meet her.

    ***

    Nova: Starfleet? I like this naming convention.

    Nexa: *She tilts her head* Have you looked into more "mundane" clothes Lythe? Maybe we could go shopping or looking through designs for the both of you. The replicator can take your measurements and give you some basic ones, but it doesn't quite beat a tailor.

    Nova: Replicator?

    ***

    Henha: I'll let you know. See you all later. *She gives a wave and continues to clean*

    Samaia: *She stands beside Jaessa ready to leave*

    ***

    Rin: Well, I suppose I should also tell you before you hear it from someone else... My title is Darth Vamrin, I'm a Sith. Probably one of the only ones around *She looks over at Clea seeming to recognize her skin tone as she specifies there may be more*, but I tend to fall in the middle of Light and Dark. *She gives a look to Freeman* As opposed to accidentally evil? I had more moral grounds than Mr high and mighty did most of the time. So... maybe lets focus on brighter topics? I don't want to drag you down with bad memories, Miss? and Seku could use some cheering up.

    Reashe: Sith? *She raises an eyebrow thinking of Samaia and Jaessa*

    Clea: *She coughs* Well, that's certainly interesting.

    Cunningham: this keeps getting better all the time, huh. I'll try to keep an open mind... now this whole Borg topic reminds me of tales Zefram Cochrane would tell.... and some incident with Captain Archer's Enterprise... *she inspects the Drink T'Lera made and gave her since it wasn't specified what it was and she did ask. suddenly her eyes widen as she comes to the realization* K-13?!?

    Bri: *she keeps working on food stuffs with Reina and T'Lera* do we wanna do a dessert too?

    *******

    Donovan: *he stands and waves, heading out*

    *********

    Freeman: Its really good to see you though, Rin. as for that miss, that is Jorin. *he looks to Seku* and as for Eli, I'm sure we can contact him. he's... likely somewhere doing stuff.

    Seku: Why do I need cheering up. not like... not like he mattered... nor did I to him really... Now what's this whole holodeck thing about?... we shoulda brought some more drinks.

    val: from what my father told me each vampire has their own unique abilities. his was blood control and mine is hellfire along with the basics like polymorphing and telepathic manipulation. you have your ice ability so thats something.

    ******

    kara: *meows* i want cheesecake

    ******

    lythe: my robes are mundane?.....

    ******

    jaessa: *waves back as she leaves with samaia to their room*

    ******

    jorin: *looks at her prosthetic hand for awhile before shaking her head* uuh yes i am jorin krayt. leader of clan krayt, i wasnt aware that freeman was in the rebellion longer then ive been alive.... i was never fully part of it they just paid the previous leader, my father as a contracted merc company. we'd disrupt imperial supplies and act as orbital shock troopers.

    kenzie: oh i didnt know you have your own ODST division. cool

    jorin: ODST?... not sure what that is... the orbital dropping tho was his idea, he never told me where he found those old basilisk war droids but we'd hot drop with them onto heavily contested positions and turn the tide in the rebellions favor just like the neo crusaders of old.

    kenzie: it stands for orbital drop shock troopers, kinda the same concept minus riding droids to the ground....

    Krystal: Yea. We found K-13 in the Draconis System, Alpha Quadrant. And I too heard stories of one time Cochrane talked about that.

    [qJanri: I think Reina has blood based powers too from the one time I was able to talk with her... I'm still working on my ice but I feel like I'm hitting a roadblock and I'm not sure why. Maybe I need to learn more about my other capabilities to better understand my ice? Like... polymorphing. I've experimented a bit with the power of suggestion but we Orions already have such a capability I'm a bit nervous about what mine will be like...

    ***

    T'Lera: *The drink appears to be a whiskey sour* We could make some cheesecake for after we eat.

    Reina: *The smell of the cooking meat is filling the room as she's finishing up with the steak* K-13 was temporally displaced, it wound up in that system a few hundred years ago. Most of the crew, along with several klingons placed themselves in stasis in the hopes of rescue in the future.

    ***

    Nexa: Oh no, I meant that we should get you some mundane robes. Your robes look great. Also, a replicator is a form of technology we have that can convert matter into energy into matter. The specifics of its function are a bit complex, it'd be better to talk to an engineer about it.

    Nova: WHAT?! You gue'la have created such a marvel? And you speak about it so casually? Even our greatest minds can barely even conceive of such a thing.

    Nexa: Well... you've certainly got some catching up to do. *She walks over to a replicator in her ready room* Computer, half and half tea with lemonade, give the cup a lid. *The replicator creates one momentarily which Nexa hands to Nova* I hope your species isn't allergic... Anyway, I think K-13 might have a tailor.

    Nova: *Is just wide eyed staring at the cup before tasting the liquid*

    ***

    *Samaia certainly seems to have a spring in her step as they leave*

    ***

    Rin: Some Mandalorians ride Basilisks droids from orbit into battle.

    Reashe: Rax has one, he's got it in storage on the ship after our visit to tatooine.

    Rin: Its nice to see you too Freeman. What's this about some holodeck? Is it a new card game? *She gives a nod to Jorin though looks somewhat confused* I thought the head of Clan Krayt was a man? Or... do you identify as one?

    Cunningham: All that time and it was just sitting for centuries... Where are we. System wise. how far from Sol. or UFP space in general. You said Draconis System. Well which one? Sigma Draconis? It can't be Sigma Draconis, we've had ships there, we woulda noticed it... 26 Draconis? 20 Draconis? there's a Draconis for every damned Greek letter and more. *she sips her drink* Its a tragedy that they were out there and we could do nothing.

    Bri: Alright, Cheesecake it is.

    *******

    Donovan: *once out of sight of the others, he sighs and heads off to the bar, sitting down* Least they don't charge for drinks here.

    *********

    Freeman: I still have the Basilisk me and Waine fixed up way back when. I'm likely to move it onto the ship... along with my fighters.... for jorin the situation... is complicated so I'll let her explain.... and as for the holodeck... well holosuite... its... better you see for yourself.

    Seku: Even I don't know what we're walking into here

    Freeman: *he nods and leads the way to the Stardust Crusader, heading up the ramp and opening the door to the holosuite's inactive blank room* This is the place... The Ship is the Stardust Crusader and for the moment, she's mine. there's probably a lot I should tell you both.

    Krystal: 20 Draconis. Same system as K-13. And while we couldn't do anything back then... we were able to do something for them now. Had to chase off a greedy Ferengi to do it, but... we're retrofitting the station with modern tech.

    Closest Federation Member World would probably be Bajor, and Deep Space Nine being the closest major Installation. Cardassia is a protectorate after the Dominion War. Kind of a similar situation to the Japanese after World War II. Not allowed to have anything beyond a Self Defense Force. Although... even then they're pretty tough. And thankfully willing to help everyone right now.

    Janri: I suppose we should go join them, I think I've calmed down enough. *she gives a nod to Val, offering to follow her back to the others*

    ***

    Reina: Federation has grown a decent bit.

    T'Lera: Putting it a bit lightly. *she starts to get some things to mix for a cheesecake, needing a bit of help for the ingredients* It can cook while we eat and be ready in time for dessert.

    ***

    Nova: seems like most of the rest of our universe knows only war. It is refreshing to see something like this, even if it seems simple it's miraculous.

    Nexa: we should wait for Val and Mom before we leave for the station. So... how did you get here Nova?

    Nova: Well, I am an experimental soldier of my people, and thus was chosen to pilot an experimental vessel. We were trying out a new drive that allowed us to travel similarly to the gue'la, but we had problems. It is difficult without I believe they are called psykers? Our scientists attempted to combine ideas we had obtained from the Imperium, along with encounters with the beings I believe are called Necrons. It worked! Just... a bit too well it seems when I started traveling the stars at some point the ship slipped between realities. Maybe they should have sent a scientist alongside me but they were worried about risking too many people.

    ***

    Rin: Well, I'm down for something relaxing. Though I probably should've changed out of my armor. *she looks herself over as they get to the ship*

    Janri: Maybe try some of that shape-shifting too? That might have some interesting potential. *she hums for a moment*

    Nova: *she shakes her head* No, it was just me. That's likely part of why the flight went wrong... while I have a wide skillset, I don't know as much as our engineers or scientists would. I happened to crash on the same world as the inquisitor. Cosmic coincidence I suppose, or maybe something attracted the ship's drive there when I arrived in your reality.

    *Soon Janri and Val join the others*

    Nexa: How'd it go Mom?

    Janri: Mostly good. I think. Cass wanted to check on how my training was going.

    Reina: Some really big ones. The biggest you should know about is probably the Iconian War. It was a... dark time.

    Rin: What? It looks and feels real... but I can feel with the force that it's false. Its... strange. I don't think I've seen anything this advanced before. What, you rob a scientist? *she starts to poke around* Hmm... I really am overdressed foe this.

    Clea: I'm sure it includes changing rooms in the program.

    Reashe: We could take it off... I think some of your equipment is on this ship too.

    Cunningham: you know... I haven't questioned it literally at all since You've came around. You've mentioned Iconians... Repeatedly... Iconians as in the mysterious ancient civilization that died off around 200,000 years ago? Those iconians? some remnants frozen on ice or living in another galaxy? maybe even someone pretending to be them.. have you fought a war with the Preservers too? *she takes a sip of her drink* the Tkon?

    Bri: I mean... There was something like that with the T'Kon... kinda sorta... but that was not long after the dominion war.... *she mutters to herself after* Not sure if that happened here though... back home it did, so maybe...

    ********

    Freeman: Its a holo suite. If there are any utilities you need to get your armor off, we can have the computer spawn them in... as for the other questions, yes there are changing rooms. *he points in the direction of them* and lastly.... No I didn't rob a scientist... This tech is from... a different galaxy with a wildly different tech base. The Stardust crusader has a hyperdrive as you'd expect, but a Warp drive as well thanks to some extra installation. It warps space to move at FTL speeds. you don't go into hyperspace, Its far more maneuverable, and hyperlanes aren't a requirement. We also have Matter-energy conversion replicators which can make *he pauses for a moment* whatever you request really. So if you're gonna use the springs you can go in the traditional way or with swimsuits... The replicator does work on the holodeck thankfully so you don't gotta go out for it.

    Seku: *she's just staring at Freeman, wide eyed, a shocked look on her face as he keeps going on*

    Krystal: No. We didn't fight a war with the Preservers. We actually found some on Lae'nas III... Then the Iconians killed them. Turned out they weren't as dead as the galaxy thought. And it was a bit of an awkward situation too. In the Ancient Past, the Iconians were saved from extermination by The Other during the bombardment of Iconia. The Other... is standing right here. In a desperate act we used Time Travel to go back and prevent the Iconians from escaping, thus preventing the war altogether as... we were on the brink of defeat ourselves. The Technological difference was just too much. Any victory we had was pyyric at best because of sheer losses.

    What we found in the past... was an Iconia FAR different than what we were at war with. The Iconians had their own Prime Directive, and were actually benevolent. If a bit arrogant. I made the judgement call to help them because... I could not hold them accountable for actions they had not yet done. Sela, the Empress of the Romulan Empire, still wanted revenge for the Hobus Supernova that wiped out Romulus, but we made her back down. Turned out she was the reason for Hobus. I was able to recover an artifact called the World Heart. It was an artifact that contained their entire history and more. When we returned to the siege of Earth, I forced the Iconians to hold fire long enough to reveal they were at war with the very people who saved their lives long ago. The Iconians backed down, other than T'Ket. In exchange for peace, I returned the World Heart to them so they could rebuild their civilization. L'Miren recognized me as the same woman who helped her back then. So did T'Ket but she had been so consumed by vengeance that... not even exterminating the whole galaxy would have satisfied her.

    2409 to today have been... Interesting Times to say the least.

    Val: *nods* well I will try my best to help. *as they return to the bridge* so is it back to k13?

    Lythe: it would seem Val has returned. I do not think so. We are going cloths shopping.

    ******

    Kenzie: ah I can just take it off in my room here. Be right back. *she says leaving the holodeck and running into jorin* oh where were you off to?

    Jorin: I uuh was heading to the bridge. I don’t want to intrude on their reunion…

    Kenzie: oh come on don’t be so anti social they have a hot spring program in the holothingy.

    Jorin: you go on I’ve got a lot to-

    Kenzie: *interrupts her as she pulls her by the collar* bullsh*t you’re coming with me and getting changed got it!?

    Jorin: *lets out a surprised mew* y-yes ma’am

    Nexa: We can visit a tailor on K-13, though I've never been personally. We are very close to deep space nine however, which is practically a few minutes away and has one of the better tailors in the galaxy. *She puts in a command for the ship to head to deep space 9 which barely takes any time to arrive at* Do you want to join us Val? Mom?

    Janri: It has been a while since I got some new clothes... *She taps her chin*

    Reina: It was a trying time, but we're beginning to recover.

    Rin: Um... well... *She looks around before shrugging* I suppose that all makes sense... if a bit fantastical. *She heads into a changing room.*

    *Clea and Reashe also head to changing rooms, each one choosing to go into the hotspring traditionally*

    Rin: Might as well give it a try. Seku, think a hot spring might do you some good.

    Reashe: Hope Kenzie doesn't take too long...

    Cunningham: Of course the romulan empire... *she sighs and cuts herself* So what's Hobus? some battle you had?.. Its in Romulan space. we did pass by on our way for that blaze... I'm imagining Iconians wiping out the entire Romulan fleet or something?... I can't blame you for not shooting the metaphorical Baby Khan in the past though... Speaking of, does he have any grandchildren? I never expected they'd give him a chance especially with what I saw living in my long life, but war makes people desperate. tame the beast and give him some redemption... no war here though so, penal colony after a lengthy trial with an eventual release on rehabilitation? Black site prison? oh wait, Ambassador to the Klingons. That would be trippy.

    Bri: Oh boy... good luck explaining all that, mom!


    **********

    Seku: *she takes a moment to collect herself, looking over to Rin* uhh.. Sure... lead the way i guess...

    Freeman: *he mutters to himself* Mira will wanna kill me... *he shrugs and heads to the men's changing room*

    val: i suppose i could use some more variety yeah ill go with.

    ******

    kara: oh... uuuh so who wants to tell her?

    ******

    *kenzie gets out of her armor and walks over to jorin*

    jorin: o-oh my... you're going like that?

    kenzie: well yeah its a hotspring not a ball room. even if it was a ball room i would look horrid in a dress..... anyway. go on get ready.

    jorin: like that?! *the spartan nods in agreement, as she does jorin heavily blushes with a defiant expression* absolutely not! as head of the clan i must maintain a look of professionalism. its unbecoming of one in my position....

    kenzie: just cuz you run a clan doesn't mean you cant have fun besides you're hot as h*ll might as well flaunt it.

    jorin: *feels her own forehead* i dont think im running a fever....

    kenzie: *facepalms with a heavy sigh* jesus christ. look just live a little jorin. dont be so up tight all the time, let your hair down and relax. you'll run yourself into the ground at this rate.

    jorin: *ponders for a moment then bashfully looks down* ok fine... just this once...... are you going to-

    kenzie: nope we've kept them waiting long enough.

    jorin: fine.... *after finding her courage she finally gets ready standing awkwardly in front of the spartan*

    kenzie: damn you do look good c'mon lets go. *she walks back to the holosuite with jorin*

    Krystal: Uh... no. Hobus was not a battle. And it happened several years before we even knew the Iconians were coming. Hobus just... blew up and took a large swatch of the Romulan Star Empire with it, and threatened the rest of the galaxy somehow. It wasn't a natural supernova as it seemed to actually GAIN strength and even passed through subspace. Ambassador Spock had to create an artificial black hole to stop it from spreading farther.

    We eventually learned that it was the Iconians who detonated Hobus to attack the Romulans.

    However it did eventually lead to the formation of the Romulan Republic, lead by a man who was taught by Spock.

    Nexa: Perfect!

    Nova: Er... I still need to remove my armor first before doing any shopping.

    Nexa: Do it in my ready room if you can, we can see about quarters on K-13 or on my ship afterwards.

    *Nova nods and begins to remove the battlesuit. Fortunately despite its appearance it's designed for simple removal for maintenance, allowing her to exit it. Though her undersuit covers her it leaves little to the imagination*

    Nexa: Hmm... you're still really tall... Garaks can probably handle that. *she nods, gesturing to follow her to the transporter.* Now... I know Lythe and Val can just port us over to the station, but its better to do this the old fashion way, station security will fuss at transdimensional travel being used.

    Nova: What is this? *she says looking at the pad*

    Nexa: Transporters. Functions how you think. Beam us over please. *and with that they'll be transported to ds9*

    ***

    Reina: Er... well, hobus along with a few other star systems like Romulus itself were destroyed when it's star went supernova. There's more to it than that but it's a touchy subject...

    ***

    Rin: *She holds Seku's hand gently and leads her to the hot spring ahead of the others, taking a seat in the waters* So, how have you been aside from y'know... the stuff with Mr. Moral? Been a while since we saw each other... and I doubt we saw as much of each other as this. *she says with a faint tease in her voice*

    Clea: Jorin, you came after all. That's good. *she scratches her head* Maybe we should talk about grooming at some point... *she then shakes the thought away, gesturing for her to join them, occassionally blushing when she notices Kenzie.*

    Reashe: *she squirms a little, but has a softer smile* Lets go enjoy the water.

    Cunningham: That... oh I... I'm sorry?... I may not like the empire, but that is... a lot... as for other things.. Spock... Spock.. Spock... *she thinks, sipping her drink and thinking, snapping her fingers* Ah, Ambassador Sarek and Amanda Grayson's Son... I met him once, Diplomatic conference. Pike said he was promising... its a real shame what happened to him. *she winces and closes her eyes* I don't think he'd be able to achieve much like what you're telling me. but I suppose Miracles can happen.... so uhh.. About Khan? I did ask about him. Khan Noonien-Singh? Augmented Dictator from the 1990's?... wait... 90's no that... hold on.. *she closes her eyes* maybe... something feels wrong there. I'm not the one to forget.. *she downs the rest of her drink* I think I'm gonna need a new drink here!

    Bri: *mutters quietly as she cooks* oh that whole deal... she can remember both... just like dad..

    **********

    Seku: Wait hold on, don't we need to change for this? I'm in my armor.... and... b-besides him. I'm fine... mostly... kinda... *she keeps a tough look on her face, blushing heavily at rin's state and still drunk and swaying slightly* I don't need him *even with the tough face, tears are welling in her eyes*

    Freeman: *after sending off a message to Mira, he comes out in swimming trunks. his athletic build on mostly full display, to those who knew him from their time in the rebellion, he hasn't seemed to age a day from when they last saw each other... or even from 11 years before Yavin.* Alright how is everyo- *he stops, looking around* Am i seriously the only one that decided to put something on? Et tu, Jorin?

    lythe: this is my first time to the station... the design is vastly different then the other.

    jorin: *her face is bright red as her ears fold down in embarrassment. as she shyly shuffles into the water* this was a mistake.....

    Krystal: Found by Captain Kirk in the 2260s. Marooned on Ceti Alpha V after a failed attempt to take over the Enterprise. Came back in the 2280s when the USS Reliant stumbled across him and his crew thinking Alpha V was Alpha VI while looking for a site to test Project Genesis.

    Khan tried to exact revenge agaisnt Kirk and the Enterprise. Ended up blowing himself up with Genesis in the Mutara Nebula.
