Guinan sighed. “It is possible, yes. However in order to do so, it would require a significant overpowering of someone else’s mind. If someone were on the verge of being murdered by another being within the Nexus, the Nexus itself acts as a barrier in a way. One person’s joy can not override another’s, unless the other has given up.”

“Good to know the rules, for both attack and defense purposes” Stark’s eyes were distant.

OOC, Ok now I’m signing off wrong the other way… repeat after me, Don’t post when you’re tired :-)

Guinan looked over the pair curiously. “You have the opportunity to see whatever you like, as you please. What now?”

-Guinan

Stark went very still, “Can you see alternate futures?” his eyes stayed rooted on the ground as he asked.

Guinan nodded once. “Possible yes. But the only future possible is one outside of the Nexus. Remember, time has no meaning here. You can visit anywhere, anytime. And you can leave anywhere, anytime.”

And there it was, the understanding of why this place was so dangerous, of why she needed to leave it. There could be no joy for her here, and so it was the worst kind of trap. A nightmarish one. Moisture rolled over her slightly rounded cheeks and Janna was startled momentarily before she wiped it away. “I want to leave. Now,” she said adamantly.

As dark cloud started pushing over the hills, Guinan answered, her eyes on the horizon ahead. “As I said, you can leave to any moment. Where would you go? And what you do?” she asked, her eyes still fixed on the cloud ahead. Despite her patience and wisdom, Guinan seemed…nervous.

“I just want to go back to the Athena, or even the Starbase, where we were before we were brought… here,” Janna said bluntly. Was it that hard to understand? “Will Orvos stay here?” she asked, suddenly afraid for him. She had spent just enough time with him that she understood there was a connection between them. It could mean nothing, but she… cared. As hard as that was to admit, she did care about him and what happened to him.

Guinan then looked to Janna, trying to keep the clouds away from her focus. “If you go back to the time you were brought here, time will then begin to take place where you are. You would likely end up back here without a plan. As for Orvos…” she said trailing off, trying to keep her expressions as neutral as possible, yet still showing some evident pain to what she was about to say. “Orvos might leave or stay. But if he doesn’t leave, you’ll know when you talk to him.”

At the top of the hill, a figure came up and over, moving towards them tiredly. Guinan gently stood up and moved forward tensely as her gaze fixated on the man in the distance. The man appeared tired, and kept looking over his shoulder, not paying particular mind to the trio.

Stark watched on with fascination straining to see who it was.
