Scene: Marine Briefing Room
Stardate: 2.80919
=======================================
He felt something pulling on his conscious mind. At the same time, 3 of his Marines that were present dropped to the floor, he knew he had to fight this with every ounce of energy he had. It wasn’t long before the Marines that had dropped came back around, but acted elated at seeing each other. He drew his focal and pointed it at the imposters. "Funis Maxima!" large ropes formed around the two and bound them tightly.
"Who are you, and you will tell me how to stop this thing from attacking my head!"
"The host has doubts that you will do anything serious. We will not comply."
"Look at the hosts recent memories, there should be an image of this station's CO being displayed broken and dead on the promenade." There was silence for a few moments and both Marine's faces turned as green as their uniforms. "Good, now answer my questions or you will join her."
"Our world was destroyed. We preserved ourselves within sacred objects to aid in our return. Taking the objects off world activated them. One at first, then more when a solution had been found. Our technology is damaged, it activated all at once. We mean no harm, just for a way to live and rebuild our civilization. We wish to live.
"You chose a bad time to re-emerge. We are in the middle of a battle and you have us dropping like leaves in the fall."
"It wasn’t intentional. It was only supposed to be the one, the smart one that could build a way to our future."
Hunter lowered his defenses slightly and allowed the presence in a little at a time. He felt it wrap itself around his own personality slowly and feel grateful that it wasn’t causing the Pnarran any harm.
"this ones mind is very strange." Hunter heard his own voice speaking "I was almost lost until he allowed me entry, and he still has control."
"Yes I do, There are a few beings on this station which wont fall like others. Those of us who have mental disciplines vastly superior to those of the common terran."
"If we had known this and had ways of controlling our departures, we would have selected those who would retain their selves. We hope you will forgive us."
"Lets just try and fix what is going on. Who is the first?"
"He inhabits someone called Chricton."
"Then we go to sickbay."

Outside through the windows you could see the flashes of light from the battle outside. Every now and then the station would launch a volley of torpedoes or an array of phasers, but the battle had primarily moved away and further out in the system. The fleet had arrived and was keeping the Dominion distracted from the station while the internal struggle was going on.
The firefight was cool and all, but nothing compared to the look on his sibling's faces when they woke up.
"I cant believe I'm a boy!" the voice of Gavi cracked. Then it giggled slightly and looked around, and laid eyes on LJ. "Who are you, are you my sister or the host's brother?"
"Host? Sister? Sister is there." He said pointing at Erika.
Gavi or the body of gavi ran over to the body of Erika and picked her up. "We are free little sister!" he yelled and danced around. Gavi looked back at LJ and smiled "I'm sorry, you must be really confused. They are still ok, but are just observing. When we leave they will be back and not be harmed."
"So here I am with open arms" LJ replied.
Gavi looked at him strangely before recognition downed on the facial features of the thirteen year old. "Oh yes, Host says you are stressed and will talk in lyrical formats. Interesting affliction, its kinda cute." LJ's eyes grew wide at that, before he remembered it was a girl inhabiting his brother. He smiled slightly. "You are cute." He/she said, before reaching up and kissing him on the lips.
LJ stumbled backwards and looked at the Gavi form
"Well that’s an interesting sensation." Gavi said randomly looking down at the front of his trousers. Excuse me while I explore new territory." The Gavi person walked into a room, which happened to be LJ's and shut the door. They both heard a cry of "Wow!" before the door opened again and gavi walked out again "I have a question, what's with the hair and do all males of your species have it?"

"Commodore, the Dominion forces are down to 40%"
"Continue attacks, status of allied forces?"
"We have lost 4 ships, 8 more have been disabled."
"Very well, send orders to the fleet to mop up the remaining Dominion forces, fire at will."
Within another half hour another 18% of the forces were destroyed, and the rest of the Dominion fleet bugged out, some towing wrecked ships behind them.
"Trenton to all ships, assist the casualties, tow the incapacitated ships back to gateway, and start searching for lifeboats from the destroyed ships. I want a casualty list and full damage report from all vessels by 0800 tomorrow. Necarra out." She leaned back in her chair, and sighed. "So once again we thwart an evil Dominion plot. I find it interesting that nothing larger than a heavy cruiser was in this battle. Tells me something is going on elsewhere and this was just to keep us busy."

Cursed with an abnormally vast perception of this cruel reality, trudging through levels of intense emotion no small minded creature could withstand! So it is no surprise that, most of all, there is pain in superiority. I suffer because I am better.
