Rollo transported into a room that was mostly dark, lit only by slim strips of blue luminescent light. The room looked out into space through a broad low portal that only partly showed a hint of Graven XII to one side. The entity had been gazing out that at the world, but turned at the sound of the transporter. It tipped its head to one side as though .. perplexed, curious, something else?
- WookieeZef thought quickly. Her body was turned directly toward the entity and she was looking it in the place where eyes would have been. “Please, stop.” She kept her voice soft and non threatening. “We want to communicate with you—to learn about you and your kind. We don’t want to hurt or threaten you. Please stay there.” She had no idea if it understood her or not, but it listened—or at least looked at her while she spoke.

The entity moved. It looked back at the world slowly rotating below then back toward Zef. It moved toward her in a walking gait, though it was apparent that the legs were not needed as the motion was smooth. Will was certainly behind the motion. It came to a halt about a meter from Zef. Here the glowing form showed more definition. Small sparkles, like tiny suns, could be seen in the body that was still transparent but had an opacity to it that made anything behind it look murky and distorted. Features of the person was more distinctive, just under the glow.
It looked .. still perplexed, though reached out one arm toward Rollo.
- WookieeAlthough the entity was responding to her plea, Rollo hadn’t expected it to want to physically touch her. Also—what would that do? Would it damage either of them or because Zef already had her own ‘soul’, would a touch be alright? There wasn’t more than a second or two to think about the possibilities, but the thought most forefront in her mind was that she was facing a new life form and it might not give someone else another chance. Didn’t she HAVE to try to communicate with it?
She was aware of the changes up close. The features and the small sparkles. And as it reached a hand toward her, Zef became a mirror image and reached toward the glowing fingers.

The transparent glowing hand itself with sparkles like tiny supernova in a murky nebula connected with Rollo’s extended fingers. There was a contact made like when a finger might touch a low level electric current sending a vibrating silent hum through her body. The head of the figure tipped to one side, perhaps quizzically. The ‘hum’ didn’t increase or decrease, then it was over; contact was broken.
Should Rollo have glanced at a clock many minutes had passed
The figure was gone, but how had it gone? Rollo was not sure; she was sure it had been before her all the time.
However, something had happened. Some .. exchange. She was certain of that but it was like soul to soul, unconscious. The question was how to bring that ‘out’. All she could muster up was a fleeting sense of the ship around her suddenly reduced to the girders and ‘bones’ of it with four other glowing entities moving throughout it. Down on the planet that was wide and huge below her she could see a multitude of glowing dots there, and above it all were the faces of the three moons, solid and furious like looming gods over the world.
