Mission: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 09/26
Location: Void Moon/Starbase M-69
Timeline: Concurrent to C&D

On

The moon was dark as the resemblance of day had been modified to resemble night time. This meant that the day creatures would sleep and the nocturnal ones would prowl through the lush jungles .

Uriah was awake and peered up to see the now far distant planet and Nebula above.

He remembered Leviiath and how things had once been on the moon as they tended to the world and its animals. Leviiath had once been his primary helper. But now he was a prisoner on the alien station.

The moon had survived by the Preserver technology in the absence of the sun but now that they were free a permanent sun would be what both the moon and the planet needed to survive.

Not only for the creatures but also the bioped species living under the planets surface.

Uriah then decided to go to the station and free Leviiath so that order could once again be restored. This would be accomplished by using the transporting device inside the pylon.

Lt Salem manned the communications board during a quiet cycle but quickly made it load aboard as an energy beam similar to a transporter delivered an alien being to OPS.

" OPS TO COMMANDER DEVROE, WE HAVE A VISITOR." Salem reported.

"On my way Lieutenant" Devroe responded wondering who the visitor might be. Commander Devroe was in Security checking with the Brig Officers making sure Leviiath was behaving himself; she doubted she'd ever forgive him for the massive deception on his part just to get free from his past situation.

Walking into OPS Angel took pause seeing who the visitor actually was. Breaking into a smile she walked over to the pair "Uriah, my friend, it's nice to see you once again" she stated out loud instead of just using her mind "How can I be of assistance."

Uriah arrived as the image of Sureth but then molded into a neutral image of a humanoid being.
" Angel your presence pleases me. I have arrived to discuss taking Leviiath home with me." Uriah replied.

Sureth emerged and immediately joined his first officer.

" Who is this person Number One?" as he had not met Uriah.

"Sir, this is Uriah, he's one of the Preservers from the moon" then turning slightly "Uriah may I present Commodore Sureth, he's the commanding officer for the Starbase" Devroe stated while making the introductions.

Sureth nodded but Uriah again faced Angel.

" Please take me to Leviiath and I will take him back with me."

" Uriah I appreciate that Leviiath is your prisoner but I have been told that he knows how to reanimate a dead star. "

Devroe chimed in "If that's true then he would be of enormous help to us as we try an establish a presence in this area of space" she added to their conversation.

Uriah nodded in disbelief.

" The planet below is alive but barely. Reanimation of a star is possible and Leviiath would know how to help you. But his mental capacity is challenged at times. Commodore there is something else I would wish to discuss. The removing of a species to your world once it reaches rebirth."

" Rehoming a species? Are they sentient?" Sureth asked.
" Very much so. An ancient race that was almost wiped out had we not have saved them. They reside in the caves and hunt by night. This races is no longer space faring as their ancestors." Uriah replied.

Thinking for a moment "Would they be a threat to other sentient beings since you mentioned they are hunters" Devroe inquired with some concern.

" All predatory species are a threat to the weak Angel. The answer would be yes to your question. But they are the last of their kind. We can return the reptile and mammal beings back to the land of their origin I suppose. That would leave the moon to this species. However removing their food sources would eventually wipe the remaining few out." Uriah replied.

"I would hate to see any species go extinct" Devroe responded as she thought for a few moments "Since the planet is good sized could the creatures be contained in...let's say....fifty percent of the area then the other fifty percent could be colonized by those who want to live on an actual planet as opposed to a Starbase?"

" They could never live on a starbase. These are a wild breed of beings compared to their once space fairing ancestors. This species tried to destroy whole cultures until they were almost destroyed themselves." Uriah responded.

" I appreciate you situation Uriah but until we have Aurelia suited for human life I am afraid this subject is moot." Sureth added.

" Perhaps you are correct. Would you take me to see Leviiath now?" Uriah then replied.

Looking towards Uriah "I'll have Security escort you to the Brig where he's being held" Devroe replied before tapping her comm badge "Security, this is Commander Devroe, please send two of your officers to Ops" came the order.

"On our way Commander" Security answered.

< Security/Brig >

Leviiath was prepared for Uriah when he arrived and stood against the wall for inspection.
" So this is it . You have come to return me to my cell back on the moon?"
" No Leviiath I have not . I came to check on you and to see how you are." Uriah replied.
" There's is a real jail. I have never been in a real jail." Leviiath replied.

" Forgive them brother they do not know what they are doing. I will allow you to help them and if you fo I will let you go free to live your life. There is one non negotiable term." Uriah replied.

" What is that?"
" Help them figure out how to do this on their own. Where is your staff by the way?" Uriah replied and asked.

" They have it. " Leviiath replied.

" I am always a moon away Leviiath. "
" I know Uriah."

Uriah looked to the security guard and then tapped his staff on the floor causing an energy vortices to open between he and them. Stepping inside Uriah then vanished.

Sureth who had been on his way down, yet again witnessed Uriah's exit. Waiting for the portal to close he then approached Leviiath.

" You are no longer our prisoner Leviiath but rather a guest. I will have one of my yeoman to see you to your quarters. Lieutenant Commander Croesus is our acting chief of science. I will have him and his teams working with you on this sun project." Sureth stated.

" I look forward to teaching your science department how to do this." Leviiath replied.
