" The Proposition "

Posted on Sun Sep 20th, 2026 @ 3:23pm by Commodore Sureth & Captain Jamie O'Connell & Commander Angel Devroe & Commander David Wallace & Lieutenant Commander Croesus Rivers & Lieutenant Commander Isabelle Veran-Dallas & Lieutenant Commander Ramvek Williams M.D. & Lieutenant Commander Kah’lyn Chiara-Rivers

Mission: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 09/26

OOC: thought I’d start a post leading on from the end of the last staff meeting after Angel and crew return with Uriah.

{IC}

Isabelle was in quarters with John and her children when she felt an all too familiar presence creep into her mind. “Uriah?” Considering Uriah was supposed to be a secret to all but David, & herself she wondered what was going on. She tapped her comm badge.

“Veran-Dallas to Wallace, are you getting what I’m getting?”

"He's here, but it seems he's toned down his abilities." David said sitting on the edge of his bed.

“Agreed.” Isabelle responded. “Considering he wanted us to keep things quiet about his existence. No doubt we’ll find out what’s going on soon enough. I’m heading to Ops.”

"On my way!" David said grabbing his uniform shirt.

Uriah was indeed aboard and seeking out whomever he considered the higher life forms first. Sensing Isabella and David near by he also felt many other such telepathic being aboard.

< Operations >

Sureth exited his office and paused at his chair as he felt something at first he thought was another Vulcan probing his mind.
" Sureth to senior staff departmental evaluations have begun. Please see that your promotion lists are turned into Commander Devroe."

Isabelle made her way to Ops, if Uriah was aboard then her father would no doubt know about it. She nodded politely to Kah’lyn and the Ops staff as she walked in.

“Commander” Kah’lyn smiled warmly.

Sureth turned around upon hearing his daughters voice. He had seen her during the staff meeting but did not get to speak personally.
" Isabella is this business or family related?"

“It’s most definitely business Sir” Isabelle responded as was proper for on duty. May we talk in private?”


Croesus manned his science station unaware of the events of the moment. He was however still upset that the unknown life form had been allowed to come aboard..

Isabelle offered Croesus a respectful nod of her head.

Uriah the visitor made himself at home on the arm of Commander Angel Devroe from the moment they arrived back to the station.
" Angel I want to see everything about your culture."

"We can do that but first I'd like you to meet Commodore Sureth and explain your ideas for Aurelia; that's why I agreed to let you return with us" Angel responded not really sure yet if she was comfortable with Uriah being in such close proximity to herself.

Uriah looked confused and then walked over to a a bay window.

" Forgive my excitement to be here."

"Not to worry; I just wanted to get this whole thing with Aurelia settled then I'll be happy to show you more of our culture" Angel replied.

" Lead me to this Sureth."

~ Meanwhile in Sureth’s office ~

Isabelle waited for the door to close. “I’m sensing a new arrival onboard, a powerful one. Do you know anything about him?” She wasn’t going to raise the point if her father wasn’t aware of the fact that she’d met Uriah before, she had sworn secrecy regarding the matter.

Sureth replied " I am aware of a visitor coming and I do believe this person psionically found me. As a Vulcan I was able to close my mind and it repelled. Has this being been taken to sickbay?"

“I have no idea, I was simply wondering if you knew this being was aboard?” She paused. “Actually there is something I need to talk to you about, but it can wait until our visitor is dealt with.”

" Isabella visitor or not I always have an ear for my daughter."

Isabelle nodded. “There’s something very important I need to show you father, I trust you.” She paused feeling guilty for keeping Uriah’s existence a secret. “I swore not to say anything but…the being on the station, his name is Uriah. We met him on the moon, but we swore to keep his existence a secret, which is why his being here seems so odd. Please don’t put that in a report, that moon needs to be protected! If Starfleet saw a report on it they’d have people crawling all over it in no time!”

" No doubt they would make it into a Jurassic Park. " Sureth replied and then tapped his comm button. " Sureth to Commander Devroe where is your guest?"

"He's with me Commodore; we're on our way to you now Sir" Devroe replied. Turning to Uriah "The Boss wants to see us; well you mostly" as she grinned. Soon they walked into Ops then into the Ready Room where Sureth was standing with Isabelle " Commodore, this is Uriah one of the Preservers from the moon; he has something he wishes to share with you.

Isabelle was quick to tap her comm badge. “Veran-Dallas to Wallace, please come to the Ready Room.”

"Ninety seconds out..." David said.

When Isabelle gave Uriah a curious look wondering why he’d decided to change his mind to reveal his existence to those on the station.

Sureth stood and waited for Uriah to enter.

" So you are the revered Commodore Sureth? Vulcan is it? Your species was once very wild and savage. The moon of the planet you call Crestacia was once ours. We rescued a remnant of its thriving creatures for posterity only to find ourselves thrown through time and place to this time by damaged technology. That can now be corrected thanks to the repairs to the revolver as we refer to it. I can remove this moon and stop the planets quaking." Uriah replied.

" Intriguing! Are you a remnant of the Preservers people?" Sureth probed.

" Aren't we all?"

“Uriah” Isabelle looked towards Uriah. “Why did you change your mind? You told us not to reveal your existence, now here you are.”

" Aaah yes Isabella. Where is David? When the others crew came I realized my initial choice was in error.

“He’s on his way” Isabelle added. “So you decided to come visit our station after all.” She offered a smile. “To say I was surprised to sense you here is an understatement.”

" Meeting you was a happy surprise to us.....to me. So much so when I met Angel I asked her to take me back to this station to meet more. It has been a millennia since we last made contact with our progeny. " Uriah replied.

“Your progeny?” Isabelle gave Uriah a curious look. “Are you saying that your kind have been here before? That you are somehow related to all our races?”

" All life in this Quadrant began from one source. We made sure that life had a chance to thrive." Uriah replied.

David arrived in ops to see Uriah, "But I sense that's not solely why you're here."

“I’m feeling that too, so what aren’t you telling us?” Isabelle looked at Uriah waiting for his answer.

" The animals on this moon will go extinct. They have lost their ability to reproduce due to the radiation exposure inside the Temporal Bridge. Despite all of our efforts in a few generations they will expire. This goes against everything we are. "

Sureth stood up.
" We? ..there are more of you ? "

" Yes Commodore Sureth. The one you call Uriah stayed back to attend the animals. I am actually Leviiath. I am sorry to deceive you but it was necessary. We have the ability to repair your planet but it will require a fundamental change in this system." Leviiath replied.

Isabelle nodded as she looked towards her father letting him know that Leviiath was telling the truth. “I knew you felt different, Uriah asked us not to reveal his existence but he didn’t tell us this.” She paused. “What change are you talking about?”

Leviiath turned to Isabella.

" Reanimation of the planets matrix."

“Pardon me?” Isabelle looked at Leviiath in surprise. “Exactly how do you plan to do that?”

Sureth had an idea and projected his thoughts over to Isabella. The idea of reseeding a planet had been tried a century ago by Carol Marcus and David her son in a project called Genesis.

" Ours will not fail." Leviiath said aloud.

Isabelle looked between her father and David. “If they can bring life to the planet, we could save the life that Uriah wanted us to save. I think it’s a good idea.”

Leviiath smiled .

Sureth then added, " The planet is experiencing tectonic quakes on a grand scale from the moon's arrival. We will explore all options."

David had been watching things unfold in the distance, "We're going to need to get things stabilized though dealing with the harmonic resonances along with the polar disruptions that the moon's arrival has caused."

“Just one question Leviiath, why is it Uriah didn’t suggest this to us?” Isabelle asked.

" Uriah did not expect your return so soon. When the Angel arrived I met her." Leviiath replied.

Commander Devroe stood beside their guest listening to the conversation wanting to get as much information she could before making any comments and/or recommendations.

Croesus was also there and looked over to Dr Ramvek Williams.

" Doctor have you had a chance to do a medical scan on our visitor?"

"No I have not but I would need his consent in order to do so; otherwise it would be highly unethical" Williams explained "Of course unless the Commodore ordered me to do so."

" Isn't there a protocol that all people coming aboard have to have a contamination scan?" Croesus replied. " On the moon this being had no life sign readings."

Thinking a moment "Yes of course; especially if you believe there is a potential for contamination" as Ramvek paused a moment "As to his life sign readings...perhaps he has the ability to block your scans" he concluded seeing Croesus didn't seem to be too fond of their guest.

Croesus scowled.

Isabelle looked towards Ramvek. “It was Uriah’s telepathic contact that caused my change down on the planet, these…people are very powerful.”

"And that proves my point.....he may have the ability to block any type of scans" Ramvek responded as he glanced over at Croesus.

“He does” Isabelle looked towards Croesus. “I wouldn’t bother with the scans Commander.”

" Is that you saying this or what ever that is?”

“Most definitely me” Isabelle smiled. “I’ll submit to a medical scan if you prefer?”

Leviiath joined the conversation in all of their minds.

[ I will submit to what ever scans you desire.]

To be continued....!
