Yes Dan thought to himself. As I suspected. They are using time to remove a future threat.Ensign Dan Jones (Scientist)
The Guardian’s answer was swift as if it had been anticipating this particular question. “You must understand the nature of time, you must join those who would protect it. You are close to knowledge that few possess. You are approaching knowledge that could make your saviour or tyrant depending on how you use it. Time Sister chose your ship and it’s inhabitants for a reason. She you call Rxzyth is bound to me because who but the rocks themselves can understand the passage of time?”
There were the sounds of approaching noise coming from the north.

Liam’s lips frowned harder. His eyes closed and lowered his head, his fingers applied pressure to reveal the tension growing there. He made a mental note to contact Roberts after this whole mess was over. It was the prior CO’s fault he was originally assigned to Athena’s rag-tag group in the first place. The CSO let his breaths inhale then exhale. He was trying to recall everything he knew before he tried to piece this whole thing together.
The tablet was made from stone which explained how it survived the ages until the present day and why Counterstrike couldn’t destroy it. It was a perfect transport for information. The one piece of the puzzle that didn’t fix was the name Rxzyth. He didn’t know anyone or ever heard of the name, feeling slight frustration at the lacking piece.
His head lifted from his fingers to glance at Jones for a clue to who Rxzyth was when he heard a sound. Immediately his eyes turned northwards for the answer to the source.

“Chief”, Dan said after wracking his brain. “That sounds like a Horta name. The Horta are extremely long living. Some are as old as rocks from what I’ve heard.”

Liam’s eyes widened in alarm.
“Jones, I think our Q and A session is currently being cut short,” Liam stated after R’han confirmed his suspicions.
In the back of his mind, he wasn’t eager to experience a test to see if the creature’s fire resistance extended to his whole body. It was better to be safe rather than sorry.
He wasn’t quite sure of the reason, but there was little he could do now. His eyes flipped about the area to locate some tunnel, cavern, or makeshift shelf in the ruins around them. This way the fire wouldn’t promptly turn them into cinders. When something suitable popped out, he intended to grip Jones by the arm then tug him into it first. Unless Jones was the quicker of the pair. It was Liam’s duty as the current senior officer to ensure those under him were safe first.
His eyes immediately scanned the ruins to seek some sort of makeshift shelter for those who needed it.
“We’ll talk more when we get somewhere safer.”
