Drudoc’s voice came back through in reply to Kord.

=/\= So it would seem, Commander. I will be sure to make note of this in my post mission report. I am sure had we had more time to explore the reactions the two together would have caused we would have caught this. Though it does explain then how in our time this planet was destroyed, and that thankfully there seems no other lasting damages. =/\= She said.

After his reply she added, =/\= Is Captain Glen available?=/\= She asked again.

Glen overheard the conversation as he entered the Bridge. “I can speak to her now. We were delayed by security in the Transporter Room but everything checked out okay,” Glen told Kord. “I’ll need to speak with you regarding some HR issues once this mission is complete and we have some kind of normality again.”

Glen found his chair and sat down. “I’ve missed my old chair!”

=/\= Commander Andone. This is Captain Glen. =/\=

Cross stepped on the bridge looking around for Kord, whom she saw behind the Captain’s chair ‘’Cmdr may I speak to you ?’’ the doctor asked in a cordial manner ,on hearing Glen converse with Commander Andone......... she thought about the expression how old habits die hard.

Drudoc it seemed had decided to open a visual channel though kept it narrow in scope to mask out the details of the bridge beyond those for her crew. Standing she smiled in a friendly manner, next to her was a human lt commander in rank, with the deer like humanoid science officer he had met named Sadie to her left, a few others were arrayed about the bridge in a stance that though concealed their bridge functions or the details did show a difference in layout and size then Glen’s own bridge. =/\= Captain Glen, good to see you safely got through all this. I’m not sure there are many who could claim to be inside a planet and have it become torn apart around them and survive. =/\= She said

=/\= I wanted to congratulate you and your crew for our efforts in defending our reality and timelines from the Serpents. It is unfortunate that there was not a means to find a peaceful resolution to these matters, but they seemed from our brief comm hail we tried before the battle began that they are ran by a religious or cultural doctrine that does not believe or allow compromise to their own desires or goals. But based on a temporal communication I received a few moments ago the Serpents in the past and future by other allied forces report them in retreat or destroyed. It would seem your time period keeps coming up being a key point of history swirling with temporal anomalies. First the Elders, Ancients, and Harvesters, and now these Serpents. Hopefully there won’t be any further problems like this for you to have to deal with or experience..=/\= She said.

=/\= I also wanted to remind you and your crew that in this instance speaking of these events is a recorded part of our history. So you need not worry about ordering them to keep silent on things here. Did you have any questions for me or concerns before we finish our own temporal calculations to return to our time period? =/\= She asked.

” I have so many questions,” replied Glen, “None of which you will be prepared to answer. No… unless we meet again, I wish you Jolan-tru!”

Cross being there to speak to Kord listened attentively It would be nice to offer us a tour of their star ship she thought to herself . Hearing the words Elders,Ancients and Harvesters could have brought back horrendous and atrocious memories ,strangely enough she showed no emotions what so ever.

Mthunzi, fresh uniform and sans the spear he had carried on the Away mission, stepped onto the bridge. He didn’t acknowledge anyone, but stepped to his station as the Ark Angel commander spoke. As he began running his checks, he said simply without looking up: “Doctor.”, acknowledging only Cross’ prescence on the bridge for some reason.

Glen, CO
