Kiama gasped softly as she “heard” the whisper in her mind. It was more than one “voice”, but she couldn’t make out anything. Without asking if it was okay, she placed one hand on Faye’s shoulder as they continued down the corridor. She wanted to focus more on what she was sensing. But she didn’t want to to and neither did she want to risk tripping over something. Both would slow them down and that was not an option right now. She was so focused on what she was sensing that she didn’t even see the well or the nose of the spacecraft in the room in front of them.

~Lt. Naim, CSO

Faye turned her head to Kiama and nodded questioningly. She was fine, but was Naim?

Kiama’s eyes were unfocused and she didn’t seem to really see her surroundings and the other members of the away team, including the questioning expression on Faye’s face when the other woman looked at her. Her focus lay too much on what she was sensing and “hearing”.

Williams was so confused because she knew that she was late but not quite sure what to do. Whenever she was ordered to do something she does it.

Lt. Williams

Williams could swear that she felt a light touch at her shoulder and what was like a whisper of breath by her ear …

Naim would sense the whispers to be louder as they approached the chamber .. or, perhaps not louder, but more of them. As much as she wasn’t paying attention, she would know that the focus was ahead.

When Lt. Williams thought that something touched her shoulder or even a whisper of breath by her ear she then jumped. She’s a jumpy person when she doesn’t expect things. All she did was just wondered around wondering why is she there still. It doesn’t make any sense at all until all that.

Lt. Williams

Pretha saw Williams jump and frowned. “LIEUTENANT!?” Her bark was one of caution and curiosity. Had something happened she missed? Suddenly her head was swiveling around looking for someone other than themselves.

Entering into the ‘room Faye’s stormy eyes widened as she looked up. “Well, hello there,” she said softly to the ship, scanning it with the tricorder. “So you’re the one giving us the run around, huh?”

Moving over to the well, Faye peered into it after a drip had gone down. “How much you want to bet this connects with the aquifer that runs under the crop fields?”

~Faye Calloway, Data Specialist

It took longer than it should have for Faye’s voice to register with Kiama, but when it did the Scientist finally became aware of what she was seeing in addition to what she was sensing. Blinking a few times, she whispered, “Wow!” Looking at Faye she continued, “I’m not going to bet against you. Though-” she briefly looked at each member of the away team who was down in this cave, “we are not alone. I can … hear … sense … people … whispering.” A deep frown appeared on her face as she struggled to find the right words to try and explain what she was sensing.

~Lt. Naim, CSO

“Lt. With your permission to speak freely.” She asked and thought that something was wrong. “To be on the safe side from now on instead of splitting up into teams I say we all stay together and if we find them and they attack us. We shall be ready. With all do respect Lt.” As she thought that she would know more about away teams. But she really doesn’t. She knew that if they all stayed together completely is the more safest thing that anyone can ever do.

As the Lieutenant spoke up, Pretha relaxed slightly and smiled with a nod. “Permission granted. And I think that’s an excellent idea.” She glanced to Naim. “Your call. You said you sense someone or something here? Is there a direction, or connection, or reaching out from them?” She frowned hating to ask the final question. “And do you sense we are in danger?”

“I feel something close by. But something unusual. The direction that is coming from is from the east and the west. Honestly it’s an odd sense but it’s not the first Lt. It’s strange but I like said we should all stay together. Phasers at the ready just in case if anyone comes up and use tricorders and get tricorder readings. I suggest we split up in two groups. I don’t know who’s all here so I need an exact number. I also advice if we do that I advice to everyone to have an open com link with each other at all times.” She explained it to the Lt. She knew that it was the best to keep everyone from dying or injured.
It was taking every ounce of control to not pull her phaser and just swing it around looking for someone or something to shoot. She hated her team sensing the ‘others’ and it troubled her that she couldn’t suss out what was happening.

OOC: Okay, this might get confusing … so bear with me, and I hope it won’t …

As they approached the pool it appeared to have less of a watery form as much as a depth to it that may or may not include water, even though the dripping from above caused ripples. Starry reflections could be seen - even though there were no ‘stars’ possible in a cave with the only roof being tons of rock, earth and an ancient ship hanging over it. The only hint that something was about to happen was the quiet zzzzt of a crackling charge - it was quiet though it seemed louder in the echoing silence of the cavern chamber.

Naim, Williams, Faye and Pretha would feel a tingle through them … and a feeling of another ‘presence’. Only Naim, however, would hear words. The others, not to mention those four would see shadowy figures as though from the very walls of the chamber. They had substance, but not, just like the pool. Everyone could hear quiet voices overlapping onto one another. Now and again one word came to the fore … that word was ‘Choose’.

Naim would hear in her mind .. “You are the Voice. The Mediator.”
Pretha would feel a general sense of the negative .. not a bad feeling but a desire to say ‘No’ but to what she could not yet fathom.
Faye, alternatively, would feel a sense of the positive, to say ‘Yes’, but why?
Williams would find herself wanting to look at both Pretha and Faye to hear what they have to say and to make a ‘Choice’.

OOC: You are all yourselves. You’re not possessed in that sense of the word but you each four feel that you have a ‘job’ that you need to do. Naim, it seems, would be the one who would better know … will mail you :) .. Gene

Williams then pondered about all of this cause it’s not a good sense that she felt. But she did suggest staying together for the primary scans. She also suggested that they’d split up in two directions and keep com signals up and keeps moving as they discovered the disturbance that was off but they do what they needed to do. They have to discover what’s going on here on the planet surface.

((Feel free to have your character actually speak in the post. Gives us more insight into her as opposed to just suppositions))

Pretha shuddered and shook her head. “You’re right. I want everyone to stay together. We aren’t a large enough group to handle anything major if we do. She found herself shaking her head once more as her gaze kept falling to the ‘star lit pool’. In her mind, she knew it wasn’t possible… but, yet…

She looked at Naim. “You felt them, it… whatever… you felt it first. Something tells me we need to stop whatever we are doing but for the life of me, other than trying to figure out how to save the Manhattan, I don’t know what the feeling means. And I’m not gonna stop that.” She half growled under her breath as she knelt down. She had to grip her pant leg to keep from sticking her hand into the ‘water’. “Something here makes me think of a mirror. But the reflection isn’t what it’s supposed to be…” Her final words dropping almost to a whisper as she glanced at the stars and thought of the sky outside, above them, being reflected. She half expected to see the Manhattan falling up towards her as it fell towards the planet above them.
