<Katrina`> Session 99 (tentative): Emerald Passing
<Katrina`> Time Chart: October 8th, 2222 (3 days later)
<Katrina`> Location: Aquarius
* Sardis stands on the bridge, looking out the central port.
<Katrina`> Drake: *sits in his chair, writing reports. He glances at Sardis* Something wrong, Lt. Commander?
* Sardis looks over his shoulder.
* Katrina` sits in the lounge, listening to the rather drab music play. She looks out one of the starports, glancing at the nearby planet.
<Sardis> You have read the report on the events on the planet, haven't you?
<Katrina`> Drake: Rather extensively.
<Sardis> Doesn't it strike you at all odd what happened with the apparition that appeared to be Garland Hianule?
<Katrina`> Drake: *pauses, then looks at Sardis* What do you mean? He used the sword, didn't he?
<Sardis> Yes, but at the same time the apparition itself said the sword wasn't alive, nor was it good or evil.
<Katrina`> Drake: Hmm, I see. Rather odd the sword would have an apparition, if it wasn't alive, right?
<Sardis> That's my point.
<Katrina`> Drake: Do you have any ideas why that might be?
<Sardis> None.
<Katrina`> Drake: I see. Does Katrina?
<Sardis> I just find myself wondering what the cause and meaning of all this was. The aspect didn't offer any answers, just the solution to the problem at hand.
<Sardis> I haven't asked her.
<Katrina`> Drake: It does seem like a mystery. But I'm sure you'll figure it out.
<Katrina`> Drake: *goes back to his report*
<Sardis> Hrm.
* Sardis turns and heads towards the elevator.
<Katrina`> GM: *no one says anything. It seems all the snide remarks Sardis might have heard previous has now ended*
* Katrina` closes her book, standing up. She tucks it under her right arm and begins to pace towards the elevator.
* Sardis steps onto the elevator and hits the button to the lounge.
* Katrina` goes to hit the button to open the door when it slides open. She looks at Sardis, blinking in surprise.
<Sardis> Oh, there you are.
<Katrina`> Hi, Sardis. *smiles*
* Sardis nods and smiles back.
* Katrina` shifts back.
<Katrina`> How have you been?
<Sardis> I was coming to ask you about what you percieve from the events back on the planet.
<Katrina`> What do you mean?
<Sardis> I'm trying to piece together the events of what happened.
<Katrina`> Which part, exactly? In general?
<Sardis> More or less, figure out why an aspect of Garland was there, also how it is that we were put to the task of "finding ourselves" when the sword itself supposedly isn't sentient or good/evil.
* Katrina` leans back against the wall, her face going into deep thought. She goes to speak once, then stops, thinking some more.
<Katrina`> I'm not sure. Maybe it was an imprint left on the sword? I read the reports - Skaad kept calling it "the source".
<Sardis> The source of what, though?
<Katrina`> I don't know.
* Sardis crosses his arms, tilting his head forward in thought.
<Katrina`> Why does it concern you? Do you think the sword might be sentient?
<Sardis> Well, if it's not, I want to know who, or what, put us through that ordeal.
<Katrina`> Do you think the sword would be dangerous if it is sentient?
<Sardis> What's to stop it from becoming evil once more if it is?
<Katrina`> I thought it became evil because of the impurties of it's users?
<Sardis> That wouldn't make sense if it were sentient.
<Katrina`> I suppose we're doing nothing but guess work here. We have no real evidence to support either case.
<Sardis> I suppose not...
<Katrina`> What do you plan on doing with the sword>?
<Sardis> It's more what do you plan on doing with it?
<Katrina`> Me?
<Sardis> You're the only one with a direct connection to the original owner of the sword.
<Katrina`> I didn't know Mr. Garland that well.
<Sardis> But you knew him.
*** Vile has joined #TAW
* Katrina` nods reluctantly.
<Katrina`> I suppose so.
<Sardis> It's up to you, it's in containment in the brig right now.
<Katrina`> I don't think I want it. I mean, the sword doesn't really make me that comfortable.
* Sardis nods.
* Katrina` shifts some, as if avoiding the idea.
<Sardis> Then in the brig it'll remain.
<Katrina`> Sorry. I just don't trust it completely either.
<Sardis> Don't worry about it, I feel more safe with it there, anyway.
* Katrina` nods, smiling, almost relieved.
<Katrina`> Hopefully no one will bother it down there.
<Sardis> I should hope not.
* Katrina` shifts, as if at a loss of what to say now.
* Sardis presses the residential area button on the elevator.
* Katrina` stands there as the elevator moves down.
<Sardis> I was worried about you.
* Katrina` looks at him.
<Katrina`> You mean with the sword in my back...?
* Sardis nods.
<Katrina`> I was careless. I'm sorry to worry you guys.
<Katrina`> GM: *the elevator doors open o nthe residental floor*
<Sardis> You're alright now, that's what matters.
* Katrina` nods.
<Katrina`> You guys helped me out when I neededed it most.
* Sardis nods, smiles, and steps off the elevator.
<Katrina`> Sardis - thanks for being there for me.
<Sardis> It's what I'm here for.
* Katrina` nods and the elevator doors close between them.
* Sardis heads to his room.
* Katrina` stands on the elevator, thinking.
<Katrina`> S.E.S.S.I.O.N E.N.D.S
