Hsull woke and stretched, stifling a yawn. He rose from the bed and padded into the bathroom area, it was dark in his quarters with just the dim night lighting faintly glowing. He turned on the tap and as the water turned warm he gathered it in the palms of his hands and splashed it on his face as he bent over the basin. He grabbed a small towel and began to dry his face and upper chest, his face felt odd for some reason this morning, “Computer, lights.” As the the lights brightened he stared into the mirror over the basin, what he saw there awed and frightened him. Facing him was a being he didn’t know, this being was massively muscled, the muscles rolling smoothly under the golden fur as he raised an arm to his face, protruding from his upper lips were fangs at least 3 inches long, the normally cool blue eyes stared back at him with reddened rims. This being was at least 7 ft. tall and must weigh 250 lbs at least. The now cool water dripped off one of the fangs and plopped gently into the basin. In shock he left the bathroom and entered the small living area, <Was this what they had done to him, turned him into some kind of freak ? The little one wouldn't come anywhere near this monster ?> He raised a massive hand and extended the claws, they were smooth and black with needle points and fully two and a half inches long.

He turned and looked over to where K’Haat slept on the sofa. The sofa was empty and Hsull saw that K’Haat had moved to the floor, he called her name, “K’Haat”
From near the sofa a huge head rose and yellow eyes stared at him. She stood and Hsull gasped, K’Haat was easily five feet long and must weigh near to 300 lbs, long fangs were prominent and her chest and forelegs were densely packed with muscle, a long tail whipped back and forth. The yellow eyes blinked and a low gutteral voice said, “Yes we are changed, we are nearly ready for what is to come. We must guard and protect the others.” Hsull stumbled back, “You speak now ! You actually speak !” He stumbled backwards and fell striking his head on the door frame, and all became dark...... .

Hsull woke with a start realized he was tangled in the covering from the bed, in fact he was laying between the bed and the wall. Hearing a noise he looked up and saw K’Haat staring down at him, a normal sized K’Haat with no fangs. He reached up and touched his own face and felt only the normal short fangs all Caitians posessed. “Nightmares, only nightmares !” he muttered, reaching up and stroking K’Haats ears. Or were they ? He looked up where two yellow eyes peered down at him.

Hsull - CAARS

Lance was walking the ship he had a scanner he was tracking a very unusual Temporal Energy wave that was bouncing around but then it stopped and disappeared. He looked up and saw the quarters belonged to Hsull. He had to make sure he was alright. He press the bell and waited it any one entered.

Dr. Hellsing

Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull heard the door chime, he stroked K’Haats head, and threw the tangled bed covers across the bed. Upon entering the living area he made sure he was wearing the loose shorts he had taken to wearing to bed and uttered an “Enter”, wondering who might be calling, it was too early for Cerenity. Curiosity aroused he faced the door as it slid aside.

Hsull - CAARS

As the door opened the scanner Lance had beeped and Lance looked at him “ now why will there be trace amounts of temporal Energy coming off you” he said leaning and then he said “tell me everything from the beginning”

Dr. Hellsing
Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull saw that it was the Dr. from the mess hall, and that he was holding a scanner of some kind. “Have no idea about the temporal energy, but I just woke up from a bad dream and apparently got tangled up in the bed covers and fell and knocked myself out for a few seconds.” Hsull rubbed his head where he felt a small knot beginning to form. “Let me put some ice on this before it gets any bigger.” Hsull moved to the small kitchen area and retrieved some ice wrapped up up in a small towel which he held to his head. “Come on in,..... Van Helsing isn’t it ? We met briefly in the lounge.” Hsull sat down at the small desk and gestured to the sofa. K’Haat remained where she was, sitting in the bedroom doorway and watched the visitor. “Anything I can help you with ? It was a strangely bizarre dream.” Hsull related the gist of the nightmare to Van Helsing and felt a mild headache start to throb.

Hsull - Hsull

OOC: I will be gone until next Monday, but feel free and I’ll catch up.

Lance thought for a few moments “ it is a slight possibility that you might have some psy ability. That mixed in with in your nightmares could’ve manifest a temporal read…….. I would like to research this if that’s all right. As a thank you I will not report this to the time Agency”

Dr. Hellsing
Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull continued to rub the sore spot on his head with the ice, “As far as I know I have no psy ability. I was tested at the academy and scored a (0).” Hsull stood and paced back and forth as much as the small living area would allow..... How much should he tell of recent events, could he trust this human ? Still pacing he made a small gesture with his right hand, K’Haat rose and stretched and slowly moved to place herself between Van Helsing and the door. “Dr. Van Helsing, a question if I may....., How do you feel about Luna and Cerenity ? They both are a bit freakish with the wings and all.” Hsull stretched, twisting his torso left and right while digging his claws into the floor covering. Behind Van Helsing K’Haat gathered her feet under her. A lot was going to depend on Van Helsings answer.

Hsull - CAARS

Lance can feel the tension in the air. If it wasn’t for his years of combat training he would never have sensed it. He Took in a deep breath “they are good people i’ve been around a long time so I don’t go calling things freakish that I don’t fully understand. As for Luna and her daughter I know session 31 experimented on them. I do not condone what they did to them” he said his left hand was on the handle of a knife he had in his boot just in case.

Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull continued to stretch, placing his hands behind his hips and arching backwards to stretch his spine. K’Haat relaxed and moved to the back of the sofa. “I’m glad you feel that way, I too feel they are good people who have been abused by Section 31, and K’Haat has a special bond with Cerenity.” Hsull took a seat at the small desk. “Let me fill you in on what has been happening since our arrival, and you can try to make sense of it as you will.” Hsull rose and went to the replicator and ordered coffee, “Can I get you anything ?” Returning to the desk he began his tale, “When we arrived K’Haat was a full grown Savannah cat, about 35-40 lbs, now during times of stress she can increase her mass, as you can see she’s now about 120 lbs and the size of a Terran Cheetah, and she continues to display enhanced sentient abilities. As for myself, I’ve grown about 6 inches taller and gained about 30 lbs of mass. I can sense what K’Haat is thinking and feeling. ” Hsull reached into the desk and pulled out the small shielded container with the ceramic capsules and shoved it across the desk. “I dug one of these out of my arm and K’Haat spit out the the other one, I think they are tracking devices implanted by said Section 31. K’Haat keeps sending that someone is coming and we must be ready and on guard, and she specifically selected Cerenity to watch over and to guard.” Hsull took a sip of his coffee and set the mug down on the desk. “So Dr., I’m trusting you with a lot of information here. I think Section 31 has done something to us both, and they’re eventually going to want to see the results.” Another sip of coffee. ” Give me your synopsis of what’s going on here.”

Hsull - CAARS

Lance looked at his “well I did read your file but I need to ask you afew questions. Like we’re you transferred to this vessel did you request to be sent here and I can backtrack these and see who was receiving the single. And as for section 31 back on earth they try to use werewolves and vampires as weapons so you can understand my distrust in them”

Dr. Hellsing
Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull continued to sip his coffee and answer Van Helsings questions. “I didn’t request the Leviathan, but was reassigned after my time in rehab. K’Haat was given to me , supposedly, by the medical staff there. It did seem strange that most anything I asked for they acceded to, like the INQUIRER, I’m sure it has tracking devices on board too. I’ll need to get rid of those asap. After hearing what they did to Luna as a child, section 31 has earned my enmity, and look at K’Haat and what they’ve done to her. I’m not sure what they did to me but I am getting larger and developing certain psionic abilities it seems.” Hsull set his coffee mug down and held up one large hand, he extended the claws which were about two inches long. “I always tried to keep my claws filed down to about a half an inch, now they grow back overnight, I just dug their tracking device out of my arm, now there’s not even a scar,” Hsull showed his forearm where the skin was now smooth and the fur had grown back in. “I’m not ready to play super-soldier and his mega-cat for section 31’s entertainment.” Hsull curled his extended hand into a fist and slammed it down on the desk, eliciting a growl from K’Haat.

Hsull - CAARS

Lance thought for a moment “ if I can have a blood sample I might be able to create a antigen and they can target the markers there’s making you guys grow and change” he said “ I do have a good success reading regarding the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Incident back on earth five years ago”

Dr.Hellsing
Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull went to the replicator to freshen up his coffee, and K’Haat resumed her spot on the back of the sofa. “I have no problem giving you a blood sample, and I’d like to give you one from K’Haat also. I’m starting to feel like Jekyll and Hyde, anything you can come up with would be welcome.” Hsull stirred extra cream into his coffee mug, “Your last name, Van Helsing..... I’ve heard or read of it somewhere, it’s terran Germanic or Austrian isn’t it ?” Hsull sat back down at the desk and placed his coffee mug down on top of it. “I noticed back there a minute ago that you carry a knife in your boot, .....very wise with what goes on on this ship at times.” Hsull reached down by his side and picked up the cane, gave the handle a slight twist and exposed the long tapered blade. ” We all have our little secrets, it seems.”

Hsull - CAARS

Lance smiled and pulled his knife out “ This is a cold iron obsidian blade. In the past we believed that cold iron was the best weapon to hurt other worldly beans. Most of my family still carries them today” he said as he put his knife away “I know there was something off about your cane when I saw it. Tempered steel if I’m not mistaken strong with a little bit of flexibility you can use the cane as a small spear” he said eyeing him.

Dr. Hellsing
Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull held up the slender blade, it was about two and a half feet long tapering to a needle point and sharp on the bottom edge. “Actually it’s a neutronium alloy, very light but practically unbreakable. It’s primarily a thrusting weapon, but has a cutting edge also.” What Hsull didn’t mention was the type one phaser concealed in the handle. “I don’t know about using it as a spear, once you throw a spear and if you miss, you’re weaponless and now your opponent has a spear. I prefer up close and personal, plus I’ve got these.” Hsull held up his hand and extended the two inch ebony claws. “All four extremities have claws.” He slid the blade back into the cane and secured it with a slight twist. “Plus K’Haat there has an impressive set of claws and dentistry on her own.” As if to display her weaponry K’Haat rose and stretched, while yawning, showing her claws and four inch canines. “I hope you can come up with an antigen, she’s eating about half a horse a day now, literally, and I’m constantly hungry myself.”

Hsull - CAARS

Lance stood up “as it stands I still need blood from both of you and as for you Hunger is due to your body’s Constant state of change. I have seen the effects are similar to a human who just became a Lycan they have a Hunger because of the change” Lance went to the replicator and input a few commands and some food squares appeared “with the new lycans the reason for the hunger is because they don’t get a lot of protein but their normal food these are a little supplements that are packed full of proteins they taste pretty good they may be able to help with your hunger” Lance also pulled two glass vials “can you get the sample from your friend first then I can get your sample”

Dr. Hellsing
Lt. Lance Von Hellsing

Hsull accepted one of the vials from Van Helsing and attached a hypo-extractor, “K’Haat , I need a small bit of your blood to see if we can figure out why you’ve quadrupled in size since we’ve been here.” K’Haat gave him a look and the thought came into his head If you really must Hsull took the sample which was a totally painless procedure and gave it to Van Helsing, then taking the other vial he attached a fresh extractor and took the sample from his forearm and handed that vial to Van Helsing. “I’ve done this a hundred times before and it’s just easier to do it myself, sometimes hard to find veins under the fur.” Hsull sat back down and picked up his coffee mug. “Thanks for the food packets, I’ll give them a try. I hope that if we can’t reverse the effects we can at least arrest it, I’m all ready having to duck to enter a lot of spaces and I’m having to modify the INQUIRER so K’Haat will fit.”
