"I will pass along your message. Caleb is well versed in what these mental manipulations the Drej are capable of. He would be be one to speak with should the need arise. I'll let you know what the Captain says."
*nods to them both and exits....a few minutes later he arrives on the bridge
"XO...Sitrep."

"Sir I've ran the numbers and the worker bots are working much faster than we anticipated. 12 hours was correct at the time you told me....that time table is shrinking as we go."

"That's good news indeed. I need to send these findings to the Captain to see what our next move is."
*Sits at a comm station and sends an encrypted message to the Drifter.
"Sitrep on Titan...Worker bots are working much faster than we anticipated...we should be underway in less than 12 hours. Here are out current coordinates."
"Captain...I have relayed your message concerning Lt Kendall to Dr Eiluned. Since you now have our coordinates do you wish us to come to you or you come to us."
"Concerning Lt Kendall...Captain...I can not stress how important this could be. If the Drej have developed the technology they had where I am from then there is a chance Lt Kendall could be compromised and they are getting intel on our technology with the intent of gaining access and location to Solaris. Extreme caution should be taken with Lt Kendall. If he is compromised he will not even know it. My father Caleb is well versed in just what to look for and I would advise consulting him on this matter."

“Caleb...we need to talk. We have a possible Drej situation with Lt Kendal. The Captain wants to speak with you about your expertise.”

*stands up. His whole demeanor changes upon hearing about Lt Kendal and the Drej
“”If they have developed the technology then we could be in serious trouble. I’ll speak with her at once.”
*opens and comm to the Drifter
“This is Caleb to Captain Thomas.”

Caleb, the Major tells me you have some insights into drej technology and what it can do and its effects on a person, can you please share those with me.

Your scans look fine Constable. I suggest you grab a shower and a change of uniform before you get an update from the SST and let them know about Adam.

A shower sounds wonderful. Thank you for the clean bill of health. I will head down to the cargo bay to tell them, do you think as the Major says he could be infected?

They rescued a lot of people from the planet, I have counted about 24,000 but the others keep moving around so much I can't keep them straight. I don't really have a set number of people counted here.

You're a good counter. We should walk around to see if they need any help.

Infected? I don’t know but compromised in some way is likley. It seems unlikely that we could have recovered him unless the Drej wanted us to, unless we were just very, very lucky

“These will be cautious times Captain. If I were you I would assume the worst. If Lt Kendal is one of the Taken then I’m afraid there may not be a way to detect it...as time goes on his behavior will become more and more erratic. There will be anxiety issues and will become extremely paranoid. He will show signs of confusion, be quick tempered. If he is taken he is among us to gain intel and possibly sabotage our technology....Captain.....The Drej could be after Solaris. Extreme caution must be used Captain.”

Are you saying, that there is drej technology in Lt Kendal?
Or that Lt. Kendal will use our technology against us?
Are you aware of how the drej create what you call "the Taken"? If so what is there process?
You are absolutely correct, the Drej are after Solaris, I have no illusions about this.

“It’s a symbiotic relationship created by the Drej. If Lt Kendal is affected he may not even know it. The Drej has this where we come from. Both of my sons Clay and Lee were affected. Major Voss is the only one I know of who was able to overcome it. It took over 10 years but he was able to get over it. You know how Clay ended up.”

Yes, I do know how Clay ended up.

*Still open Comm
"We could never tell just how they did it. It's not biological, it was like an energy source so there was no visible entry points....it's just there."
*as he is speaking new reports about the ongoing repairs come across the screen.
"Captain I have just received a report...our repairs are going along very fast. I've never worked with these bots so we didn't realize how fast they are....we will be underway in a few hours."
*back to Lt Kendal
"Lt Kendal should remain in isolation until we can figure out if he has been infiltrated. We don't know if the Drej here have this capability or not......should we continue to Twilight or come to your location?"

Excellent news about you being under way in a few hours.
Continue onto Twilight, the Demon Hawk will meet you either on route or there.
Is there any other information you can think of?

"If I think of anything else I will sure let you know....I hope this is all speculation at this point. We really have no way of knowing if they have figured out how to do this here or not. I urge you to take all necessary precautions Captain. We shall continue to Twilight...see you there."
*Closed Comm
"We have a few hour before we can engage the hyperdrive. Captain Thomas wants us to rendezvous at Twilight."

"That is indeed good news about the repairs. Why don't you go get a few hours of sleep. I'll wake you before we are underway."
*comm to Sharrel
"Dr. Eiluned......it appears repair bots are really fast. We should be underway in a few hours. We are to rendezvous at Twilight. We have informed the Captain of our concerns with Lt Kendal."

*sits alone on the bridge....the constant hum of the impulse engines...the various chirps and quiet noises from the various computers disturb the otherwise quiet solitude of space.
"Computer....dim lights to 25%"
*the lights dim way down making the bridge darker...the lights around the entrance are the brightest.
"Let me try to get a little bit of sleep."
*lays his head back and closes his eyes.....after a while and unable to sleep on the bridge he simply sits in the darkness and just takes deep breathes and relaxes.
