It took Janna a couple long moments to clue into what the man was saying and her green eyes widened. Wife. She was the only one who could match that description- he meant her! “Uhhh, I’m no one’s wife. Trust me, I’d know,” Janna said defiantly. “I am with them willingly and they are my friends,” she added, her tone more gently and her eyes fixed on the man with the bow and arrow.

The time for diplomatic strategy was closing. They were bent on starting something. Orvos took the moment to attach a circular device to his right temple. After doing so, his drone appeared before him out of his wrist device and stayed mid air on standby.

“She’s not your wife, and she’s not going with you. So, unless you have some sort of other business to attend to, it may be best to leave.”

Orvos had a feeling a fight would ensue and so his he prepared for the inevitable. His drone was already powered up and targeting the man’s waistline, specifically his belt. Comical move? Perhaps. But advantageous if the man’s pants were to come down and tie up his feet’s movement and drop his sword to the ground. And he knew he would only have on shot. Orvos was an engineer at heart, but he wasn’t completely defenseless without his technology. He had some extensive training in hand to hand combat, and sword play. It came with the centuries spent with his best friend Dawson, who had studied his whole life to be a fighter and strategist.

Stark took a second to reflect that downtime needed to be reassigned in the Federation Manual to “amok time” due to the proclivity with which said downtime always turned into some form of bar room brawl. He approved.

Stark’s eyes darkened as he cross targeted the two animals and made contingency plans. He wanted to avoid them being flanked, especially by the panther who had five danger points compared to the wolf’s one. He was also aware of a growing crowd of “rubber neckers”, people who if they died in the ensuing violence would at least by their demise raise the average of the intelligence quota of the universe by several points. No doubt on top of their presence it wouldn’t be long before local law enforcement arrived to further make this day more complicated. Stark found his “happy place” and prepared to concentrate on prejudicial “disembowlement”.

The hooded man stared at Janna, as he did so, the two animals appeared to relax and, if one could read animal expressions, they appeared to be slightly confused. The flame on the arrow dimmed slightly as he stared at her behind his hood.

“You are right, you are not her. You look a lot like her, but she has blue eyes, not green.” He explained, with each word he spoke the anger in his voice became more apparent. Suddenly, he turned his bow away from group. He took a couple of steps forward raising the bow up and around. This man was clearly looking for someone.

“Where are you, you little bastard!” The wolf moved forward sniffing the ground, while the panther leapt down from the boxes also looking for new prey.

“I know you are here, I can feel it! Show your self!” He yelled taking slow steps, as if he was expecting and ambush.

“Someone tell me what the hell is going on here,” Janna said under her breath through gritted teeth. She instinctively felt the danger but she had very little context for any of it. All she knew was that Orvos was involved and he was full of interesting secrets.

Orvos raised an eyebrow, puzzled at the sudden change in pace. He brought his drone back to his wrist device as quickly as it had come out. This man was looking for someone else apparently. He also wondered how long until security and medical teams arrived. This was certainly something out of the ordinary.

“Do you know anything about the person who took your wife away?” he asked in a somewhat calmer tone. He was still pretty irritated at the fact that someone from another time had just randomly shown up on this starbase of all places. The place where he, Orvos, was at.

He glanced to Stark, hoping he would catch on that somehow security teams still hadn’t made it yet. He also gave Janna an apologetic look. Truthfully, he had no idea what was going on…yet.
