Mission: The Restroffs (Space Spiders)
Location: Transporter room
Timeline: Concurrent to Post 30-31

{ON}

Will Raymond took the next lift down to the transporter room where the lone life form aboard the Brol ship was beaming to. He was not sure what he would find or what condition so he belayed telling Amethyst.

< Transporter Room >

Security was on hand but the need fir such was unclear as the tree like being energized once Raymond entered.

It staggered a bit as its leg like roots stepped off the platform.

" Is the Jewel still onboard? My friend? I am of Brol." exclaimed the visitor.

< Quarters >

Amethyst was getting some rest when she sensed a familiar presence onboard, a voice that called her name made her sit up on the bed. Swinging her legs around she got up and followed the voice ending up at the transporter room. As the doors opened she was surprised to see an adult Brol with Will. “You’re alive!” Her smile said how relieved she was to see one of their new friends.

( Yes Friend. Come to me.)

Amethyst automatically stepped forward.

( The creepy one's freed us. We transplanneted ourselves to this body and are now whole. But we will have no way home.)

“I think we can sort that” Amethyst looked at Will, “Commander can we arrange transport home for the Brol? They have no way home.”

" I will discuss it with the Captain. We also have the Pak'shree guest aboard. It would be a perfect time for the Amandora to host a shindig." Will replied.

“Indeed, a diplomatic gathering” Amethyst smiled. “Once we get out of our current predicament of course.”

( How did our freedom occur? The creepy ones do not, as a general practice, give up. They consume all they capture.) Brol whispered mentally to Amethyst.

Amethyst looked at Brol. ( The queen came to an agreement with my Captain. I just hope she honours the agreement and doesn’t deceive us. )

( There is confusion. The Queen is unapproachable. I sense your encounter and am certain your encounter was not with the Queen. ) Brol replied.

Amethyst frowned. ( Are you sure? I felt no deception when the female arachnid used me as a conduit to speak to the Captain. But then I’m not used to interacting with insects, perhaps my senses don’t work that way with them. )

( The Queen has been ill and repelling an over throw from 3 daughter's.)

( So you think maybe it was one of these daughters that made the agreement with us? ) she was starting to worry exactly what that would mean.

( Three planets, three daughters.) Brol replied. The treeture then did the unexpected as it reached down and hugged Amethyst.

Amethyst was taken by surprise but she didn’t refuse, she’d made friends and she loved it.

( The seeds, are they safe? They are our gift to you. There are 12 and each posesses a fruit for consumption. From our world.)

(They’re for me!) Amethyst smiled and looked at Will realising he wasn’t getting to hear any of this conversation. “Our friend was just telling me the seeds we brought onboard are for me, each possesses a fruit for consumption.” She smiled warmly at the Brol, “Thank you.” She looked back at Will. “We need to warn the Captain ... The Brol say that we could have made our agreement with one of the Queen’s daughters, not the Queen!”

Will nodded, " We need to speak to the Captain. Let's go to the bridge."

Brol then added.

( The first fruit is the fruit of fertility. When it matures. The other fruits offer other gifts to carbon based life forms.) Brol added. ( When it is possible we need to go home.)

( Don’t worry we’ll get you home again) she looked towards Will. “Our Brol friends need to get home again.” She then looked back at Brol (Fruit of fertility!) Amethyst smiled. (What other gifts do these fruits offer? )

( Endowed by the great creator our people boast of a long heirtage of age. Alas we had to evolve beyond words. I sense you are in pain from this telepathy. We will speak later.)

Amethyst nodded. She had to admit she was feeling tired, she wasn’t used to using her telepathic gifts quite as much as this. Being on Betazed amongst family minds were free to be fully open but using Telepathy whilst trying to hold back the thoughts of others on the ship was a strain to say the least. She turned to look at Will. “Commander if you don’t mind I’d like to go and rest?”

" Yes by all means. I will take our guest to hi...quarters." Will replied.

Isabelle nodded. “Thank you. I’ll catch up once I’ve rested.” She nodded to her Brol friend and headed off to her quarters. Kal would be with Christina so she’d have a chance to nap for a little while.
