Viyara stared with a mix of scepticism and incredulity. She didn’t even know what to say; especially regarding the whole wiping people from the timeline thing. So she asked the one question she could think off. “What is the Time Axis?”

“Its a constructed city outside of time where training happens,” he sighed, “I’m actually five years older than my service record states and unbeknownst to the Captain here that five years took place between your last two missions”.

Koraia took all this in with a pensive gaze as she sat on Viyara’s couch. Her eyes shifted to take in the scientist and she offered Nazeen a soft smile. “It’s funny how things weave together. I’ve learned the hard way that sometimes you just have to go with it.”

Turning her head towards Ghubari, Viyara looked at her with defiance and anger written all over her pale features. But the Captain would be able sense something else: The fear that was hiding beneath the surface. “What if I don’t want to just go with it?” she asked sharply. The mere thought of just having to go with any of this, any thing in life really, terrified her. It felt like losing control and that was something she couldn’t let happen.

Michail gave her a moment and then ruffled his dark curls. “At the risk of sounding dramatic, the fact that I’m here talking to you suggests that you already have”.

Rising abruptly to her feet, Viyara crossed her arms tightly in front of her chest and started to pace. To say that she was agitated would be an understatement. But she was also frustrated and afraid. Even though she wouldn’t admit the latter even to herself. What she wanted right now was to make both of them leave and pretend none of this had happened. But she had a feeling that this was one of the many things that didn’t just disappear if you ignored them.

Coming to a halt very close to Michail, Viyara looked at him through narrowed eyes and asked hostilely, “Why don’t you just tell me everything I should know instead of playing games?”
