"UnIntuitive" (cont. Expanations) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Location: RESTIN II Stardate: 2.71119.2335 Scene: Caverns "Naturally, you are trying to find the Iconian Gateway," the leader replied. "And if that is the case, then I might have some news for you. News that will allow you to accomplish your mission and leave us in peace." "This better be good." Tanith muttered under her breath to the Bajoran counselor who'd had the unfortunate luck to stand next to her. "I can explain everything never is as simple as it sounds." She wasn't very pleased by the situation. Daniel, she'd noticed, was overly impulsive for her tastes, seeming to have the typical masculine inclination to act when being passive would probably be the best option. Why on earth in the presence of so many would you go for your phaser when the best possible outcome you could hope for was something akin to a "Mexican standoff"? Tanith hated having weaponry pointed at her with a passion. She always felt gawky and unprepared for physical altercations planet side, her gangly body lacking a certain amount of grace that she admired in other fighters. In space she was at ease, graceful, deadly, elegant, on the ground she got the job done with all the delicacy of a rhino in a china shop. "What news?" Ben said neutrally. "You can stop now, it's already in safe hands." The man put his hands out in a sweeping gesture. "I cannot say much without violating our Prime Directive, but the Iconian technology is already secured by us, to prevent the abuse of the technology by people of this time period." "People of this time period?" Ben raised his eyebrow. "So you're from the future? Or from a time travelling race?" "Something like that. We are part of the successors to the Federation, and it was decided by our council that this time period was far too volatile to allow access to this technology, so we came to secure it before it was discovered." "So why tell us this?" Ben frowned. "Because, you're the ones who discovered it. We found this place due to some old logs of yours that were being gone over by some of our archivists. We were puzzled because it seemed as though no action had been taken on your discovery, when all our temporal simulations indicated that it wouldn't have happened." "So you came to mess with the timeline?" "Not exactly. We came because the only way we could account for it was if we'd gone back in time and did this intervention so you didn't fully disclose the technology you found here." "This must be what going crazy feels like. I'd say drugs, but drugs would make more sense!" Tanith said far louder than she intended, and blushed as eyes turned at her. "Sorry sir." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NRPG: Sorry for long time no post, been busy with grad student stuff. Hope this is helpful, though short! Hope to get back into the swing of things better! Alix Fowler selyara_at_hotmail.com Lt. Tanith Corwin FCO USS PATRIOT From HyperNews_at_youth.net
