=/\= Rol’s Start =/\=
Rol woke feeling rested. Yesterday had been a big day. The evening ended with an opera performance and dinner by the stars and then a nice long reading session. As good as he felt there was an eeriness today as if today… He felt as if today would be a day that changed ….
A sound drew him out of his bathroom and into the living room. There, right in front of his eyes, a Romulan female stood. She wore the robes of his people. She had a Bajoran erring…but she seem ephemeral it was as if her grasp on the world was short.
“Today,” he began. “Today love will be tested. Today will be a day of sorrow.”
The voice the faded and then the figure disappeared. It had been a prophet but…unlike anyone he’d seen and then an image popped into his head. “Lai’lira!” He dropped to his knees. “Rol to Hades. Get over here to my quarters now!”
=/\= Braxton’s Start =/\=
Braxton woke up feeling low. He felt numb at the same time and he couldn’t pull himself together. Going through the motions she’d gotten his time away approved and was packing for his trip with Vox when a sound drew his attention.
Leaving his bedroom he got up and walked over to living room. There in the glow of the stars a stately Romulan woman stood. Within seconds he recognized her translucent form. “Lia…but you’re…”
She smiled, “In another world. Braxton today you will face a test. You always chose those around you but you must…choose yourself to save your life.”
He gasped as he watched her disappear in a shower of golden mist. He tapped his com unit. “Braxton to Hades…Get over to my quarters. Now!”
=/\= Splendora’s Start =/\=
Splendora woke up feeling better then she had in a while. Michael had been pushing her all week and she’d been sick. Today she felt better. Today she would go to the Centre even though the thought of it didn’t excite her as it usually did.
Deciding that it didn’t matter she started her breakfast a bit of the food Human’s called Lucky Charms, some form of marshmallow. She smiled, it was sweet but fun to eat.
A sound from her bedroom drew her attention. She put down the bowl and headed into her bedroom. There in the light of her bedside lamp a figure shimmered into view. She had been glad she’d put the bowl down. “Lai’lira?”
The Romulan smiled, “Today will be a rough day. You are changing but today you will need to be a friend to your brother.”
She scrunched her forehead. “Brother….my brothers are not…”
Before she could finish the figure disappeared in a sparkle of purple glitter. She took a moment and then ran to her nightstand. “Splendora to Hades. I need you here now!”
=/\= Michael Nivar’s Start =/\=
Michael had just stepped out of the shower. It was a long night. He’d had to deal with the council and section and had come across a man with his name. Curious that was. He’d look into it today.
He dried off and slipped into his boxer shorts. He wondered what the day would bring. No sooner had the thought come to his mind then a sound came from his bedroom.
He picked up his phaser and entered. There, in the corner, a translucent figure stood. He tried to file but the phaser would not work. He simply stared at the beautiful Romulan.
“Michael. In your heart you want nothing more than to protect. You want to live for yourself, to bring justice. You must fight that feeling today. You must let things flow. You cannot help Hades.”
With that she disappeared in a glow of green sparkles.
Michael’s heart was racing. “Nivar to Hades I need to see you now.”
=/\= Isaiah Nivar’s Start =/\=
Isaiah stood looking in the mirror of his room. Today something…felt off. He had this feeling like the walls were closing in on him. T’Mira and he had fought last night. He’d come here to his ship to spend the night.
Sighing he changed into uniform and was about to leave when a sound drew him to his bathroom. He entered but nobody was there. Then a sound from the mirror. He looked into it to be faced, not with his own image, but the image of a woman, a Romulan unfamiliar to him.
“Today you will need to learn a harsh lesson. Let go of the woman that you love and leave her shadow. It is the only way. Sometimes love can heal and at others destroy. You shall see that first hand.”
With a shower of sparks that blinded him momentarily the image faded. “Isaiah to Hades….I need to see you now.”
=/\= Kalani’s Start =/\=
Kalani had gotten to the lab early. She decided to get some work done and as she had the rest of the day off she would move Hades’ things into their new quarters. Last night he’d relented and showed her the wonder he’d had built with T’Lar’s help of course.
She smiled as she catalogued the last of the items from Cardassia. One drew her attention. It was a box but intricately carved. She looked at the writing, old Bajoran. Carefully she opened the box, whatever could go wrong from opening a box.
Suddenly a shower of green, purple, and gold sparkles surrounded her. A female voice filled her ears. “Kalani Liora, seeker of the orb of love you shall not triumph!”
She looked around and a figure of a tall Bajoran man with intense red eyes started at her. He laughed mockingly. “The Pah Wraiths will stop you.”
With a burst of light he was gone!
=/\= Hades’ Start =/\=
Hades had come to the office and had tried, unsuccessfully, several time to enjoy his day. Each time he tried to take a sip of tea a call came in. First Rol, then Splendora, then the Nivar’s and Braxton.
He sighed, “Computer open a channel to the following, Mikhail Braxton, Michael Nivar, Isaiah Nivar, Splendora Sage, Rol Ilan.”
He waited then, “If you are hearing this message my office, five minutes.” He called Harris down too. This was ridiculous. Everyone with the same message.
A sudden flash filled his office and a man with red eyes and translucent features stared at him. He laughed and like a ball of light he flew through a wall.
=/\= Lynn’s Start =/\=
Nurse Lynn had just finished filling the supply shelves. She felt a sudden breeze and then turned just as a ball of light flew at her. She tried to dodge but…within seconds she felt weak and dizzy. When she stumbled to the bathroom and splashed water on her face she felt a bit better. She looked at the mirror and gasped as her blue eyes turned deep red. “Today you will cause a lot of trouble.” A voice in her mind said. She smiled coldly. She headed out towards the senior officer’s quarters, Hades was on her mind.
