Hiri prepared the Brol corpse for the cremation but she had neglected to inform the CMO and Captain of Brol death.

" H'iri to Dr Bjorgo and Captain Song. The Brol creature has died. Do you wish me to continue with its spiritual request for cremation?"

Bjorgo had gone to the arboretum for some relaxation time. Sitting on the grass with his back to a tree he simply enjoyed the serenity of it all. Then, the comm broke into the quiet. "Bjorgo here. Yes, Doctor H'iri, let us honor the being's final wishes. Also, send me your report on it all and I'll sign off on it once I'm back in my office." He left the comm open since H'iri had contacted them both simultaneously.

" Affirmative sirrr," she purred.

Cyndi tapped her com-badge "This is Song go ahead."

" Captain, Brol left you a video message. I had it sent to your yeoman." H'iri added.

"Thank you," Cyndi replied as she took the PADD from her yeoman and headed for her ready room where she opened the message.

Feeling that it no longer concerned him, and with his work load piling up lately, Tore tapped his badge off. "Odin, All Father, bless me with the skills to keep people alive, to fight another day." He stood as he spoke to his gods. "Sif, grant me the strength to defeat my enemies. Frigga, grant me the knowledge to cure all ailments from this day forward. Blessed Be." After finishing his minor prayer Tore Bjorgo left the arboretum.

Brol appeared on the screen and spoke slowly.

" Captain Cyndi, this shell is dyeing but my inner core will survive. The spores are inside the Arboretum that contain my living essence. If you find them and take them back to Brol my life force can be reborn again." Brol told her.

"Doctor what a nice prayer you said," Cyndi commented as she took in the message from the Brol.

Bjorgo must have hit his combadge wrong, the channel still open as he had spoken to Odin and the other Aesir. "Thank you, Commodore. I'll sign off, now." He made sure to tap the badge OFF, this time, grinning to himself as he left the arboretum and headed back to Sickbay. Unaware that the spores had found rest on his back.

Cyndi sighed and leaned back in her seat as she thought about the message from Brol. But if the spiders were still near the Brol homeworld it would do no good to locate the spores. But Cyndi did have an idea and for that she'd need the science lab.

Tbc......
