Michail ran a hand over his grizzled features noting again how much thinner his grey hair was these days. The equally grizzled golden haired Caitian next to him grimaced slightly as he watched the sensors on the screen.

“Any guesses as to what happens next” S’Raal said with his usual half smile that hid his canines.

Michail shrugged, “When the Guardian’s involved this is more like playing Poker than Bridge, at least through all this we were able to trace Pierce back to the Eridian Vault and get the time drive he stole back”.

“Bonus that they finally killed him off” S’Raal said bitterly.

Michail said nothing, it had been hard on S’Raal when T’Pon had been killed during the mission to retrieve the Vedala Confluence Drive. Her final act to secure the transuranic element necessary to make this ship functional had led them to be sorely tempted to go back and try to save her from Pierce’s clutches. S’Raal turned and the Black Sword Skotos could be seen strapped across his scarred shoulders. The look in his eye was tinged red with the memory of loss. Then they both spun as the turbo lift arrived. Instantly S’Raal’s look of pain vanished as a young woman strode confidently onto the bridge with an ethereal grace.

Her eyes were purple, as was her hair and she had slightly elfin looking ears. She smiled and ran a hand down S’Raal’s grizzled visage.

“Hello Father” she said with a beaming smile.

S’Raal wrapped her in a big hug and then stood back to look at her. His eyes were filled with love as he said her name.

“Meryidiyth”

Gho’lem Epoch walked out from the captain’s ready room on Timeship One. In form he was a less purple, more human looking Adam Chryst, having perfected his matrix over the millennia. Michail nodded in his direction. “Is it time?” the wizened Greek looking man asked with a note of sadness.

Gho’lem nodded soberly. “I have been given my orders by the Aegis High Command. I must remove my present form Adam from the timeline and venture into my own predestination paradox. It is time to make myself and complete the cycle that brought me to this place”.

Michail shook his head wryly, “To be your own creator, such does not bear thinking about in rational mindset even after all these years of working the Continuum.”

Affecting a human gesture of amusement Gho’lem chuckled slightly. “If I had not ventured through the Guardian and dealt to the final CounterStrike agent trying to escape into the future then the Athena and my very own past would have been extinguished forever. I work to a necessity beyond linear thinking”.

S’Raal laid his paw on Gho’lem’s shoulder. “You will be missed my friend” The golden haired Caitian smiled his usual half smile “I know it’s linear thinking, but it’s true none the less”.

Gho’lem placed his hand on top of S’Raal’s paw. They were past the need for words as they all looked into each others eyes. They were past sadness as well and had entered a realm where destiny placed demands on them beyond what any of them could express. Pressing a button on the console they watched as Adam materialised on the bridge of the vessel. He did not look surprised and as he looked at his future self the only words he uttered were filled with regret.

“So soon?”.

Gho’lem nodded at himself and then they all walked to the airlock as Timeship One landed on the newly restored planet.

It was a small band of time travellers who stood in a semicircle around the Guardian but the people of the Aegis attended the farewell en masse and a sea of eyes watched as Gho’lem and Adam walked towards the Guardian.

The Guardian’s flickering lights were subdued as befitted the moments gravity. Gho’lem saluted the Guardian with a fist over his heart. “Father, I commit myself to destiny, past, present, future and beyond the linear plane. Adam nodded in silent assent.

The Guardian remained silent as the tomb as the pair stepped through and become one with destiny.

OOC This farewell was in large part written by Jeremy as he had penned some of this in emails we shared regarding the future and past of Adam. I hope I have done his creation, and his memory, justice :-(

OOC: You certainly have Ian. Thank you for sharing this!

-Tony

OOC: Thank you for handling this moment so expertly. ~Linds

OOC Thank you both, I needed to hear that, I feel woefully inadequate to the task and I’m only half done :-(
