There seemed to be ‘something’ .. a kind of curiosity that hinged on Rexar’s mind .. whatever it was felt like it was drawing closer .. then ..

Ang had rifled thru the list of those able to answer questions and found several possibilities. Messaging the subsequent rooms, she left messages that they were to come to Cargo Bay to help with the cargo to be transferred. She didn’t leave any other facts.

The ranking crewman, a short redfaced man in his 30’s, bald, apparently by choice but with a stiff, short shovel like beard, responded to the call. He, a Lt jg, by the name of Nathan Hess approached Ang. “You Ang, sir?” he asked. “Are you coordinating the transfers?” Which, it seemed was what Hess thought Ang was doing. He bore the colors of science.
- Hess

Barvan, being the gifted telepath he was, registered Hess’ entrance. Upon doing so, he opened a fourth “camera” in his head fixed on Hess, attempting to read his recent memories to see what he meant by “transfers”.

( What would he find?)

Cadet Barvan, Security

Just a fleeting thought of crew transfers to the SeaHawk of which he was one …

Ang glanced at the man who arrived and nodded with a smile. “A pleasure to meet you, Hess. Yes, I am curious about the cargo containers. We are ready an entity of some kind. A couple of my crewmen have commented sensing sentience from them. I was curious if you could tell us what’s in the crates. And if you can’t, then please let me know who can. I fear I cannot allow these to go to the surface without knowing the contents are safe.” She nodded to the said containers behind with an added, “And forgive me, but your word they are safe is not good enough. If it’s a security issue, you are welcome to tell either my Chief of Security or the XO what the contents are if you cannot tell me.”

She didn’t add that the small cluster of men to her left, seeming as if they were simply in deep conversation, were actually trying to contact whatever was giving Rexar his ‘feelings’.

Nathan gave Ang a long stare which in some circles could imply ‘crickets’ … but then a recollection came to him as he looked at the containers. “Oh. Those are them?” His gaze fixed on them. “An entity?” He shook his head and flushed a little redder as if in embarrassment. “Sorry Lt. I know there were classified containers coming down for experimental research in the science division, but what they are? I don’t know. That would be Cap’n of the SeaHawk who could possibly tell you. My understanding is they are to be received by him. It may be related to a project they are working on there. An AI project called Hollowhead.” He gestured to the crates. “But what’s in there? I have no clue.”
-Hess

.. then, as soon as Hess said the word Hollowhead .. whatever it was ceased. Retreated. Vanished.
- Wookiee

Barvan remained focused on everyone in the room. His ability to monitor all sentients in the room was good, and he looked out for anything fishy…

… which happened just as Hess said “Hollowhead”. He detected that, whatever it was, it had ceased being. He kept focusing on the experiment, but this was odd and a slight expression of fear and concern could be detected on his face.

The silence began to stagnate a vapid wasteland of eternal hush. No colour, without scent or sound. Black, starless night. An infinite void of the sensations of existence now that the life force has closed its aura of energy to him. Spiraling into the unknown a strange fear trickled down as Rexar subconsciously lashed out with raw, unabated instinct.

Out. I want out!”

To watch the mind locked Andorian would have been a sight to behold. Quiet and unmoving, Rexar began to shiver and stir. A twitch in the hand or a shutter of the body could be seen as he slowly started to wake from his dreamscape. Yet with the power of Kanto’s trained thoughts and strength of control, he wouldn’t be able to do it alone.

Ang frowned. “Hollowhead? Interesting,” she glanced to the crates then back to the man before her. “I will reach out to them. Thank you. Make sure you have all your items checked and ready for transport as soon as possible.” She nodded with the dismissal and tapped her comm when he was gone. =^= Captain… we need to reach out to the SeaHawk and the accepting officers. Seems they are aware of the cargo contents and we need verification of the contents before we move them. Happy to discuss in person if need be.=^= The woman wasn’t sure how much the Captain wanted on open comms.
