After a few minutes Kara comes out with two party trays filled with various ordourves and snacks for the group. She even has some tasty vegetarian dishes for those who don't want meat or protein slop that appears to be some kind of meat. Kara makes sure to include a snack that everyone typicaly likes. She understands that Nova metabolism requires a high consumption of nutients so she made things that would be appealing to everyone. The food smells wonderful and many have a hard time not salivating at the delicious smell. If one is not hungry it is hard to avoid a quick nibble.

She listens to the conversations and especially to the current events that Asche is relating to the group.

Blue-robed guides (a tradition left of the original proprietors, the K’ta’viir) show various dignitaries and VIP’s around the same areas just visited by the LoS and LoM. Kaelan is one of these men and woman getting the grand tour. The show is generally reserved for ruling members of terran houses and those endowed with monies to donate to certain causes. Kaelan stands alone in a group of 7 others and is the only man. That and the fact that he is well over head and shoulders taller than the tallest woman have set him alone as sight dominant. One of the women, named Faria, is from House Devon and the other 6 woman are from a smallish edge clan. It is the first trip to StarHaven for all of them. <!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

The group is currently browsing power amplification nodules and being explained in short the method in which StarHaven draws energy from subspace. Even Kaelan has been impressed at the advances made to StarHaven since last year. With the incorporation of the discoveries of the Coalition of Houses StarHaven was at nearly ninety percent understood. It was only a matter of time before the Coalition, and thus the Lords of StarHaven, would have one hundred percent access to the secrets and power of StarHaven.<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

Participants: Kaelan and any other bystanders.

Kaelan walks and listens to the tour with much interest and enthusiasm. To him it feels as if it has been thousands of years since he last visited the station and he was anxious to hear of the new discoveries and modifications done to the station since the ousting of Ba'laan. Most of his attention is placed on the speaker and the other guests but he lets the rest of his mind wander and capture the sights and feel of the station.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Kaelan's mind immediately raises back in time to thousands of years ago. He recognizes the voice belonging to the enigmatic and ever beautiful Dr. Eberhart. Instantly he boosts his mental defenses and physical defenses knowing that if the beautiful Genine was here, her irrational trigger happy carpet munching lover would be close by as well. Hopefully she would have sense enough to not start a brawl in the midst of the square was all Kaelan could hope for.

Despite his apprehension, no one is aware of the tension. Without missing a beat, Kaelan gallantly turns around and receives Genine's remarks with noble humility, <!--coloro:#0000FF--><span style="color:#0000FF"><!--/coloro-->"Dr. Genine Eberhart! What a pleasant surprise to see you! If you refer to me as lord or emperor it would only be proper to refer to you as Lady or Empress since you are one of the founders of Divergence; one of the greatest philosophies to be adopted in the Sol Empire. If it was not for your initial studies of Nova physiology and especially Nova psycology Earth's advances in those areas would have been delayed for centuries. A thousand thank you's would not even scratch the surface in repaying the debt the decendants of Earth owe you. You honor me by your presense."<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

Kaelan is genuine in his comments and he very pleasant. There is no tension in his demeanor or voice. He is completely sincere in his words although he is preparing himself to have to act in a nano second's notice.

<!--coloro:#0000FF--><span style="color:#0000FF"><!--/coloro-->"I was not aware that I was being looked for. None of my people at Odin or any of the other Divergence facilities notified me that you wanted to be in contact with me. I am a bit confused since I thought that it was clear that you always had my contact information."<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

Kaelan continues to smile and makes a gesture for her to join him and the group as the tour of the power couplings continue.

Kaelan continues to smile and makes a gesture for her to join him and the group as the tour of the power couplings continue.


Genine continues with the group as they walk the few minutes of hallways to the reception area. She fills the short time with small talk;

"Ya' know, Cin and I woke up a few months ago and decided that we were going to build a test facility at our facilities in New Devon. A few weeks later when the test facility was done and we started recruiting newly erupted novas from various earth colonies in the system we realized we were behind the eight ball, to coin a phrase from earth, old earth. So we took over some test sites of various factions, I think some of them were actually hunting nova's, and we discovered that quite some time had passed since the last time we met any of our old friends. Then to our surprise, we found out we were not even considered citizens of earth any longer. You can imagine how Cin felt at that; I think she and Chandler downed several dozen satellites before she recentered herself."

By now the group is seperating in the reception area. genine continues'

"So... Kaelan. Lord Rathien." A unspoken 'whatever' passes her lips.
"I am here now to find out some things before Cin does some things that ERI and Odin and possibly no small amount of people will regret. Dont misunderstand me, this is not a threat but you recall how Cin responds to things like this. Sleeping away nearly a hundred and fifty thousand years is inhumane, even dealing with nova's. I didnt see much evidence of your involvement in this matter before you shielded yourself so tell me; what do you know about the why and who behind our long blink. Please."

<!--coloro:#ff0000--><span style="color:#ff0000"><!--/coloro-->{{Genine never loses her stride. She is a gret diplomat and inspite of my wording above, she is eternally charming and cool and never comes across insulting or rude.}}

Kaelan listens to Genine and her search for answers with genuine concern and empathy. He makes no apology for shielding his mind and boosting his defenses in her presense. His demeanor is caring and he is acting as if he is helping an old friend deal with major bad news.

He motions for Genine to follow him to a public lounge where they can get a booth and talk privately. "Why don't we come over so we can talk a little more privately?" He leads the way to the booth and sits next to Dr. Eberhart. He produces a hand held computer that instead of a screen uses a mini hologram for three dimensional visiuals. He types in various encryption codes to get to the file that he wants to show Genine. Once there a simple excel spreadsheet with a list of thousands of names of Nova's who have disappeared over the past millenia show up.

"Genine, I am sad to inform you that your situation is not unique. Asche and I knew that there were going to be repurcussions for letting down the barrier that protected Earth and its inhabitants from the chaos of the outside multi-verse but what transpired was such a remote possibility that we did not think that it would have been in the best interest at the time to cause a mass panic among the Nova populace. We are talking about a one in trillion possibility of this happening." Kaelan pauses a moment to let this information sink in.

"Thousands of Nova's disappeared. Some have been found and are being helped to adjust to this new universe that they are being awakened to. There are many that are still asleep waiting for their turn to be awakened. We are doing this a very caring way to help guide them to find their place in the multi-verse instead of just letting them jump into a vast ocean without any knowledge of how deep the water is. Now that you and Ms. McGuffy have returned, if you are willing, you can help these people and guide them as once did long ago." Kaelan hands Genine the handheld computer. "This is yours if you wish."

"The matter of you and Ms. McGuffy not being citizens of Sol Empire can be rectified in a matter of minutes. When you are willing to take a moment to do this, I can arrange an audience with the Emperor himself and his aid can take care of all the other paperwork."

If the conversation appears to be going well he asks, "What say you Dr. Eberhart?"

He let Asche inform them as he would, as he was focused on keeping their conversation from being overheard or interrupted. Paranoia being that it was, Asche is a high profile malcontent, and a favored practice by more intelligent security personnel. Find someone who has connections and presence, and keep track of the people that he meets with. Which could hamper our efforts.

Kara then leans close to Rama and tells him, <!--coloro:#0000ff--><span style="color:#0000ff"><!--/coloro-->"I will be back in a little bit.

"Alright, Kara. I'll fill Asche in on what he missed."

Allison gives Asche a smile, and launches into a concise but reasonably detailed account of the events that had taken place since she last saw him... She tells him about the rather troubling novas they found, the arms manufacturer, and the team's growing influence. She also tells him of the advances Chronos and Eve have made in figuring out how they might retrieve the orbs. Finally she tells him of her vision, the Book, and the Door...along with why they've come to StarHaven.

"And on top of all that, Joe and I noticed something odd about the timelines here," she points out. "There's two of them, in parallel, and one will eventually 'take over' and subsume the other. Plus, I'm sure I felt a life force associated with the station, and a name..." She shrugs.

"There's a lot more going on here than there looks like. That's all I'm sure of."

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

"Sounds like for the most part things are in control and in the hands of ones capable of delaing with such things."
Asche turns to Smite and addresses him with much respect and even bows his head ever slightly.
"I am sure Carlise is in your debt for cleaning up their ne'er do wells. I had always thought you would make a good leader under the right conditions. Your view on tactics and diplomacy are rare indeed."

Keeping his charming and collected demeanor as always, Asche does seem more than overly interested in the Orbs developements.
"It is very comforting to know that you are making progress with the Incarnates. ON the same token I am not lightly concerned with the how and when you might activate them. If you would, please keep me in the loop as to the finer details when they present themselves. I would love to be there."

Asche then changes the subject gracefully and discusses some light hearted topic in which all share and laugh now and then. It might be obvious to those more socially inclined that he is fishing for the right time to say something.

Joe listens to Allison bring Asche up to date and realizes there is something that she missed. Probably because Doc hadn't told her yet. Kara isn't here so the timing isn't, quite, ideal... but he might as well give it a try.

Joe says,

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->"Allison missed something. Doc's fault, he's still studying the matter and hasn't told her yet. Lily has a plan to come back.

"Allison missed something. Doc's fault, he's still studying the matter and hasn't told her yet. Lily has a plan to come back. The question is whether or not this would be a good thing and what the side effects would be."


Asche's thoughts take a pause from racing around his compartmentalized mind. All his plans and schemes and even some of his hopes stood still for what seemed like forever to him. The possibility that Lathan, or who the team calls Lily returning weighed heavily on nearly all considerations for and against the revolution. The implication of the simple fact that she was talking to Chronos and planning a comeback suggested many things, but most of all it suggested something Asche needed to consider further. As skilled a mega social as Asche was, it does not take much skill to note he was thrown aback.

"John, that is probably the most disturbing news I have heard so far. NO, wait, that IS thee most disturbing news I have heard in nearly a decade. Easy."

Asche rubs his temples with both hands in contemplation and without looking up asks; "John, have you met with Lathan physically?"

{{Kara please consider some minutes have past where we all engaged in small talk adn you have returned.}}

"Joe" thinks,

*That shook him. Calling me John like that, he just dropped two points, although he did that on purpose as a signal to me how serious this is.*

Joe raises an eyebrow and responds,

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->"Lathan has met with the good Doctor physically on multiple occassions. First at the World Serpent Inn where there were enough other things going on that she dropped the matter. The second time she and Doc actually went back into her early past where she trained him extensively in matters temporal. These were obviously the opening moves in a grand plan to bring herself back by altering her death."

"As predicted she did confirm this on another occassion. After a fair amount of research and investigation, I believe Doc has reached the conclusion that it can be done. Whether or not it should be done is a different issue."<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

*That shook him. Calling me John like that, he just dropped two points, although he did that on purpose as a signal to me how serious this is.*

Joe raises an eyebrow and responds,

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->"Lathan has met with the good Doctor physically on multiple occassions. First at the World Serpent Inn where there were enough other things going on that she dropped the matter. The second time she and Doc actually went back into her early past where she trained him extensively in matters temporal. These were obviously the opening moves in a grand plan to bring herself back by altering her death."

"As predicted she did confirm this on another occassion. After a fair amount of research and investigation, I believe Doc has reached the conclusion that it can be done. Whether or not it should be done is a different issue."<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

"You never mentioned any of that before. When did all that happen?"


<!--fonto:Century Gothic--><span style="font-family:Century Gothic"><!--/fonto-->It was on purpose that Asche called Crumble John.

<!--fonto:Century Gothic--><span style="font-family:Century Gothic"><!--/fonto-->Asche interrupts before John has time to answer.<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->

<!--fonto:Century Gothic--><span style="font-family:Century Gothic"><!--/fonto-->"It matters little when it actually happened but more that it did indeed happen.

<!--fonto:Century Gothic--><span style="font-family:Century Gothic"><!--/fonto-->Asche stands at this point and then says to Crumble;

Joe answers,

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->"No. She seems to come and go at her whim, I'm under the impression she's monitoring things."

"But the real question is whether or not bringing her back is on the balance a good idea. I'm pretty sure Doc is up to it, no, correction. Make that Doc and Smite."<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

Allison frowns.

"Time Lord? I'm sorry, the last time I heard that term was on PBS. This is all a new wrinkle to me. Who are the Time Lords, and what's their significance to all this? I mean, I can guess you're one," she says to Asche.

Then she nods at Joe. "And he's pretty obvious for number two. But who else? And what starts spinning if there's four?"

Joe says,

<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->"The Lord's of Time are basically powerful temporal manipulators. There's a sub-treaty to the Ban, well... actually it's a seperate treaty I guess, also created by Big and Bad, supposedly created to 'protect' the Time Lords. Basically the idea is that the numbers of the Lords would be kept in balance, one light, one dark, one balance."

"That's the theory. In reality what it means is that if one Time Lord is killed, then two more have to be in order to keep the numbers right, and none of the existing Lords can train apprentises. This treaty turned 39 Time Lords into 3. Those three are Denny Forotellon, Lathan Crysan Rathien, and Thane Maor. The Lily got killed and the other two had to flee I think. If the other two are still around then it'd be Doc and them."

"Notice please that Big and Bad doesn't count in all this because far be it for him to need any limits. Considering the results, I have to say that this is yet one more example of Big and Bad opperating in bad faith."<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

Asche gives out a light laugh in spite of the situation. He always could see the lighter side of things no matter what, or perhaps it as his ego saying that no matter what happened he came out the winner so there really no need to stress about anything.

"Actually Allison, A 'Time Lord' or technically, one who has mastered the element of time, is one of the many things I am not. Sure I know how to pass through multiple streams and go back and forth in time, but that is a far cry from aging someone or pulling things from alternate timelines. Some Lords can alter histories with a whim."

Asche looks to say more but at sensing Joes input he waits.

"I do believe that he Lords could train others if and when others died but when their numbers started to wane they dropped too fast and none could be trained in time. There were a few that were trained in time but even with their additions to the number the Treaty was not satisfied."

Asche looks at his watch, as he characteristically did when he was thinking deeply.

"Allison, the fourth would be Lathan, if she came back. I am not considered one. Technically. Denny and Thane have been on the run now for over 20 years to avoid the Pultytes satisfying the Treaty. If a third were to be added in John they theoretically would be safe for a time. But then if Lathan came back and became a fourth it would send the cycle of hunting the Time Lords spinning again."

Allison nods slowly.

"But if there's just two now, and Lathan came back, there'd be three. And they'd all be okay."

"Of course, Lathan caused us a lot of trouble, though I guess it wasn't really her fault, exactly."

Glean takes in all the discussion and laughs inside at something. A smile could be seen if not for his tinted visor.

He walks a little distance away and seems to be trying to listen for something. After a few moments he simply stands still and gazes at everyone.

Asche replies with confidence as if he is sure of his answer. His tone however shows some doubt.
"They have been missing since Lathans death and the Pultytes are making them job one. I had some contact with Thane but over 10 years ago and not as Asche. He helped worked with House Rathien defense ministry for a few months on a project Kenton hired him for. That was the last he was seen or heard from. It is possible but very unlikely that they have been slain; I should have been able to feel their absence. But like I said, I am not a skilled a user as I might seem."

"Thane and Denny never favored the Ban thats for sure. Oh and Joe, Denny despised Lathan and was even implicated in her death. I just thought you ought to know. If you were trained by her he would be able to see that and his derision might pass on to you."

Kara returned from her visit with a friend in the midst of the conversation. The possibility of Lathan's return sent her mind spinning for a few moments. She remained quiet, listening to the discourse of Asche and the others. Still, she wondered why she had not revealed herself to the Light Weilders. Why did she chose to reveal herself to Chronos?

(ooc: other than Chronos' having the beaming light of the PC glow wink )

"Why did Lathan reveal herself to Doc instead of one of the family, a member of house Rathein, or to the light weilders? From what I know of her, she is very calculating in her actions." In a very none condescending tone, she asks, "What makes Doc so special for her to visit him?"
