Temporal Terror

[RAFrukh]

((I didn't. Now I do. edited))

On the bridge with Claxter, Parag, and Rhohawk one of the Chee approached me, "Sir... I regret to inform you that... Ambassador Acoun Kloa's leeran body was not built to survive on land long, much less a freezing wasteland. So..."

He hesitated. I spoke, "So what Doctor!? Spit it out!", But i already knew...

"Ambassador kloa... is dead sir.", he walked away after a few seconds.

Parag approached me, Ambassador Hamee, I feel I must leave.

I looked at him, "Just because Acoun died, Parag, does not mean you need to --"

He spoke more firmly, I feel I must leave. My job was to protect Ambassador Kloa. Now he is dead. I can not live with that.

I squinted, "So you're going home to sulk?", I retorted. Worst mistake I ever made.

He turned away, Goodbye, sir. It's been an honor., he walked out.

I hung my head. Then I slammed it into a wall. I banged my head really hard, trying to knock myself unconscious. That wont solve anything, I told myself after I stopped, The ship still needs a captain.

I sighed, and sat at my post. I punched the intercomm, "Hamee to all decks: Prepare for Lift-off."

I pushed a few buttons, punched a few keys, and we were extraterrestrial. I turned to Claxter, "Take us back to Mareneoi."

I walked to my cabin, and lay down on my bed... sulking.

Ambassador Hamee walked out of the bridge. I looked at the Andalite excitedly, "Where do I sit, sir!?"

<i suppose its the best you can offer. what kind of info were you looking for? and what exactly is your plan to get me back? it is very important that i know these things.> i responded to Xero. <oh yes, and when is this scheduled to all come together? time is of the essence.>

<<agreed! the sooner everything is back to normal the sooner i can go back to preventing SCUM like you from doing things like this to others.>> aldrea yelled.

<<haha, we'll see captain, we'll see.>> [color]

I pressed the intracomm, "Claxter... are we there yet?"

Ambassador Hamee's voice came up on the intracomm, "Claxter... are we there yet?"

I started to reach for the button excitedly, but cowered realizing it was out of line.

"Sorry, sir.", I apologized to the Andalite, "It's my first time on a space-ship."

I smiled nervously.

"Just the basics. How you got here, what the anomaly is, etcetera. You answer that, I'll tell you how we'll get you back. You'll still have the biggest bargaining chip, the info is just some collateral to make sure we're on the same side here. Deal?" He stands a few feet from the makeshift cell, awaiting a response.

[Aldrea2011]

<we used chronitachyons. Chronitachyons are particles rapidly moving through space and time. spacetime is literally bent so one period in time emerges into another, creating a time portal. does that answer your question??> i responded.[color]

[Ryan]

"Yes. It does. Well, here's my plan, as promised. Firstly, we get you to the Karona Ray simulator. That part requires some trust on both ends, as you will have to exit the body for a short time. We have to trust that you will not take over someone else. We will provide for you a body and a transportation craft with no weapons. You will be free to go. I swear on my mother's and father's lives you will not be harmed at any stage of the plan. Do you agree to this?"

[Aldrea2011]

<i suppose.> i said, putting as much unenthusiasm in my voice as i could. secrety, however, i was highly impatient to get started. [color]

[RAFrukh]

((Unenthusiasm!? You mean... apathy? Disinterest? Indifference? Unconcern? Uninterestedness, unresponsiveness, impassivity, dispassion, lethargy, languor, ennui?))

[Aldrea2011]

((haha very funny. what i was intending was to project was pretending about not being happy about the whole thing hehe.))

[Ryan]

"Alright then, let's go. I'll have to knock you out for a few minutes so we can transport you to the miniature Karona simulator." he pushes the button that injects the knockout gas. When he has done that and is sure that the Andalite is KOed, he turns on his radio. "I need someone to get a small pool of water, a lamp with a green lighting filter and some green water dye. This is very important. The Andalites life is at stake here. You have thirty minutes. Meet me in one of the unused rooms. I'll be there with the andalite tied up. That's to prevent us from being killed until the Yeerk leaves. I'll also need someone in sick bay with me to carry the andalite. Hurry." He waits for an Ensign to get there, and with help he carries the Andalite controller to one of the unused rooms. He says the room number and within five minutes his requested items are there. He assembles them to look like a fully functioning Yeerk pool. "Not bad. Let's hope this works." a few moments later, the Yeerk/Andalite wakes up. "Hello there. Here is the pool." He positions the Andalites ear over the pool, since it's tied up. "Ready?"

[RAFrukh]

((My ship doesn't have any ensigns. Me, the pilot, the two chee in medbay, and the chief engineer and their aide is all. But I'll let it go this time. . Unless of course you called the HQ and brought Aldrea inside the HQ. I don't allow anyone on my ship without permission. )

I heard Xero's voice on the intrecomm, "I need someone to get a small pool of water, a lamp with a green lighting filter and some green water dye. This is very important. The Andalites life is at stake here. You have thirty minutes. Meet me in one of the unused rooms. I'll be there with the andalite tied up. That's to prevent us from being killed until the Yeerk leaves. I'll also need someone in sick bay with me to carry the andalite. Hurry."

What the grethar was he up to? I got up and walked into sickbay...

"Xero?", I called, He wasn't there. Neither was Visser 4.

[Ryan]

((Whatever fits the plot. Me? Unorthodox? Naaaaaaaaah.))

[Aldrea2011]

instead of answering, i just make a break for the pool and jump in.  I saw nothing, smelt nothing, heard nothing. It's the worst thing about being a yeerk. Suddenly, I felt a vibration, like a door closing. [color]

[Ryan]

Xero snatches up the Yeerk. "I never met my parents." he whispers quietly to the deaf creature. "Welcome back Aldrea. You're safe now." he crushes the Yeerk to death(we want it gone, yes?). Then he unties the andalite, offering a hand to help her stand up from the table.

[RAFrukh]

((I'm guessing saying that was just a way to stimulate Xero's anger. but I thought we were going to starve Geriss? We can crush him though, lol. :S))
