Nivor looked up sharply as the glass broke, but others were closer and more able to assist. He watched the engineer leave with the counselor, mentally making a note to check with both of them later - the engineer to ensure she was well, and to get the counselor’s assessment. He could hardly blame her, everyone was on edge. He had voluntarily left his home planet almost two decades before, and expected he’d never likely see it again, whether they were in their own galaxy or not; he’d long before come to terms with this, else he’d likely be in the same place.

“You mentioned your religion covers many worlds, Elder One,” he began, trying to refocus everyone’s attention. “How many sentient species are in this area of space?”

XO Rhansi

The Elder One turned back from his study of Miz’uki as she left to regard the XO. There was a pause as if he considered how to answer. “..At least 30 are known to me, but there are likely many more that travel in small ships from further beyond. You all seem like such people in your own fashion unless I missed my guess?” He inquired and answered.

Hayley nodded to the Counselor in answer then continued to sip at her tea for a few moments. She then stood and made her way closer to her commanding officers and their conversation with the Elder One. The XO’s question had caught her attention and she was interested in the outcome of it.

Rhansi paused, holding still as he contemplated the Elder One’s words. “Elder One,” he said slowly. “When you say ‘from further beyond”…” He glanced at Drudoc and then at Hayley as she approached. “Do you mean ‘further beyond’ from within your galaxy, or… like us?”

The idea that this was a potential… nexus for lost travellers made his head spin, but that was getting too far ahead.

XO Rhansi

”..As I said earlier, no known race has extra-galactic travel abilities. Though some come from far and wide in this galaxy. Most are lone travelers, sleeper ships, or generational ships on exploration and trade missions..” He said.

GM CockRoach

Nivor nodded, sipping his fruit juice. This was the expected answer, even if he’d briefly considered otherwise. He glanced about the table before he continued.

“We noticed advertisements for goods as we approached the system” he said, setting the cup down. “Is there a unified currency in use at this trade hub? What is the normal trade operation like?”

XO Rhansi

Serenity listened intently. Then turned her head sideways, a confused look on her face. “Ummm… I may have missed or forgotten this but what is a generational ship?” She asked. A ship with multiple generations came to mind but something told her that was not quite right. “Is it like a family ship?” she added.
