<I do not apologize for what I did.> Claxter said to Alic. <I do hope I didn't give his host a concussion, though. I didn't know how much pressure would render a Human unconscious, and may have used more than neseccary.> He put his shredder away, and wondered if it wouldn't be best to take Efaen to his ship or the Mirage where she would be safer. He did not leave her side or take his eyes off Myitt or Corliss.

<Terenia, Corliss decided to stun her and reunite the two of you, but I stopped it. No Yeerk will take Efaen without her permission while I stand by.>

[Midnight_Huntress]

When he introduced her to Gaz, she smiled and held out her hand. "It's nice to finally meet the famous Gaz I have been hearing so much about recently." she said. "I have heard many stories, but I think Fa- Morgan has a story for you." she said, catching herself before she slipped and said father before the story was told and ruin the surprise.

[Terenia]

<Well it's certainly a shame you're standing by then, ain't it?> Terenia says with a chuckle. Whatever depressed state she had been in over the admission that her sister was a voluntary controller seems to have fallen by the wayside. Either it didn't bother Terenia as much as it seemed to or she was hiding it well. Regardless, she was back to her typically mocking self. <You know, Efaen really is better off with me. It isn't like I'm cruel to her or anything. Besides, I'm not a Yeerk. I'm just a lovable human in a Yeerk jacket. Completely different.>

[Alic]

Alic nodded. <Thank you.> She ignored Terenia. Let the yeerk-human figure it out on her own. <Is Corliss okay?> Alic kept her gaurd in front of Efaen, just in case. But she was worried about the blow to the head her friend took. <Ya know, little andalite warrior..> She was starting to get aggravated. Alic hated going against her friends and was happy Myitt at least somewhat agreed. But this Claxter was getting on her nerves. <I'm pretty sure two of us in the way would have been enough to stop Corliss for us to talk. You even think about harming my friends again you'll deal with me too. I don't care what you are.> Her fists were clenched and she hadn't relaxed her tail, but now she wasn't sure who she was mad at.
<Lovable human my ass,> Alic thought, hopefully not too loud.

[Gaz]

Gaz caught the slip and looked confused.

"What do you need to tell me?" she asked Morgan.

"Well, it started some time after the incident with Caven," Morgan explained. "I started talking to Artemis here. Things started coming up that caught attention. She saw the pictures."

"You showed her the holo-images?" Gaz asked in amazement. "You never show those to anyone."

"Because of what the day was," Morgan said.

"Oh," Gaz replied. "I'm sorry I wasn't here. Is that all?"

"No," Morgan said, "there is something else you need to see. This was put together with the help of Parker."

Morgan brought up the picture of his daughter as a baby.

"Why are you showing me this?" Gaz asked. "I know you're looking for her..."

"Just watch," Morgan said. And he started the computerized aging of the photo to show what Morgan's daughter would look like.

"Take a good look," he said.

[Chad32]

<You obviously are not kind enough to her, or she wouldn't dislike you so much after five years. You may have been born differently, but you're just as much a Yeerk as any other.>

Claxter might have made a remark that a female probably wouldn't stand much of a chance against an unarmed male. He might have also apologized, but still being in the moment he had already said he wouldn't. <She was already stunned, and he was holding Terenia right above her ear. It seemed he wasn't planning to talk much. Perhaps we could take him to a ship and I could run a cranial scan to ensure both of them are relatively unharmed. And perhaps put something on the contact area.

"Hey bartender. You have something to wake a person up back there?"

The bartender thought for a second, then went into the back and brought something back in a can with a top on it. Zoshonel took it and lifted the lid, but immediately shut it and turned his head. "Wow! That will burn your nosehairs off!" He took it over to Efaen. "This indescribable stuff might wake her. It might also clear the room. I don't want to ask where he got it."

[Midnight_Huntress]

While Gaz watched the Holo-images, Artemis shifted from her blue haired pale form to her true form, matching the picture Gaz now looked at. "It's funny how the world works isn't it?" she said non- chalant to catch Gaz's attention to her after looking at the picture.

[Myitt]

"They're alive," says Myitt, standing up.  "Other than that, I can't tell."  She smiles faintly at Alic.  "Don't get yourself worked up, Aliciania.  This young warrior isn't worth it."  She looks at Terenia's tupperware prison, biting her lip.  "I don't know what we should do with her.  Maybe Efaen is better off with Terenia's presence, but she clearly doesn't want Terenia to return."  She smirks back down at Efaen's prostrate form.  "Even though I'd hardly trust what she says she thinks."

[Terenia]

<Excuse me, Claxter> Terenia asks hotly, <In case you hadn't been paying attention for the past twenty minutes or so, it really doesn't matter how nice I am. I could be as friggen' nice as your grandma and she would still hate me for what I am. I assure you that I've endured enough on my own to get any joy out of bringing Efaen unhappiness, even if she is a royal pain in the ass>

[Gaz]

Gaz did a quick double take between Artemis and the picture.

Her eyes were wide and her mouth gaped trying to form words.

"Is it really?" Gaz said. "You're not trying to joke with me, Morgan?"

Morgan shook his head, a grin on his face. "Parker used DNA testing to confirm. It's her."

Gaz hugged Morgan. "That's amazing! All these years and she walks right up to you! The 'verse really is an amazing place."

[Midnight_Huntress]

She smiled brightly. "I heard him Mention mother, and I seen the picture. She has been in my dreams as long as I can remember, and I still hear her lullabye sometimes too." she said.

[Alic]

Alic shot another glare at Claxter. He didn't think she could take him? He would be surprised. She was overly confident he wouf be begging for mercy in just a few short moments... But no. Maybe another time. Myitt was right. Alic relaxed her hands and lowered her tail.
<Maybe we can't trust Efaen right now, but maybe Ossanlin and I can speak with her as well? I wouldn't trust Terenia in her head even more though. I'm sure we could figure out something for the yeerk-human.>
If only they had a way back to Visser 3, maybe Alic would volunteer.

[Chad32]

<I doubt that someone as self serving as you has tried very hard. If you aren't getting along together after all this time, then obviously you need to be separated. Completely spearated.> Claxter said. He felt that Efaen may be safe with Alinciana, so he went to the pool and picked it up. He then began walking out of the bar. <As an Andalite, I am aware of the distance of thought speak range. I am taking you far anough away that Efaen won't have to hear you in her head unless she wishes.>

[Myitt]

On the ground, Corliss starts to stir. 

"Ughhhh..."  Mike presses a hand to his face, eyes still shut tightly.  "Who 'it me?  Bloody blue bastard, all my eye and Betty Martin...cor...me 'ead..."  He struggles to sit up, and Myitt turns to help him. 

"Come on, wakey wakey," she murmurs.

"Hmmm," Corliss says dreamily, taking control.  "Why are there two of you?  Where's Terenia, then?"

"Back in the pool, you idiot," Myitt says gently.

"Oh," says Corliss.  "Oh.  Yeah."  He squints up at Claxter.  "What the hell did you hit me for?  I wan't trying to murder her..."

[Chad32]

<What did you expect me to do, Corliss? Hold her head just so for you? Involuntary infestation is similar to murder, in that the host no longer has a life of their own.>
