S’Raal was pretty sure he knew this being and his mind was being blown for the third time in the last ten minutes. He also knew that there was only seconds before the blast hit and they needed to get further inside. Medical professional still, he shoved the scientists ahead of him in the tunnel planning to apologise for the rough treatment later. He would have been intrigued to see how Liam would have reacted to the blast but he wasn’t going to chance it at this intensity. As he watched the “stranger” move he became more sure of his theory as to his origins. This was turning out to be a day to beat all days…
S’Raal Cran Moonshadow CMO
Dan responded to the CMO shoving him along by trotting along faster. Dan was curious who that person was that stepped out of the portal. He had called the guardian father. Dan wondered if that was an honorific title or if there was an actual consanguineous relation between the two. Dan hoped he had time to find out after the dust settled.

OOC consanguineous… :-) That’s my new word for the week!

There was a dull thud of an explosion followed by a fire ball and a rush of air that blew them all onto their faces in the tunnel. Whoever had just stepped out of the portal would have had to have been blindingly quick or near indestructible to escape the plasma. Then there was the Guardian to consider as well…Rxzyth appeared coming up the tunnel, widening it as she came. As a silicon based creature she didn’t possess a face… however something about the way she was coming through seemed to convey a certain amount of panic and concern…

Sometimes it paid to be neither blindingly quick, nor indestructible. This however was not one of them. Whatever the being was as the flash of plasma poured through the area, there was no move to make the tunnel, instead there was a step backwards as it continued to aid with fire as needed, and went back into the portal, to some other time and place as protected by the guardian itself, if it survived the blast.

Survival seemed to be on the top of Liam’s to-do list, his figure shoved down the tunnel and into what they hoped was safety. How his feet managed not to tangle was a mystery he might ponder later. His luck ran out when the fire hit the Guardian of Forever’s position. The CSO’s face suddenly found ground as he fell forward, grit dug into his softer flesh leaving pebbly imprints. Shaking the results off, Liam began to pull himself upright once more.
“Is everyone all right?” He couldn’t help but ask, his worry laced his words.
The sounds of someone or thing approaching caught his attention. Liam’s head twisted into the direction, observing Rxzyth moving closer. Not fully knowing who or what it was, his figure immediately tense at the sight of it.

Rxzyth flew past the group to their right melting the rock in her path at an astonishing rate and then disappeared into the glare of light coming from above. The plasma explosion was over but no one yet knew what damage it had wrought.

S’Raal looked of after the Horta with eyes wide. “What…?” was all he could get out before T’Pon arrived from further down the tunnel her ever expanding torso showing more and more the signs of the expectation of children. She continued up the passage.
“Hang on” S’Raal said a little panicked “You don’t know if it’s safe!”. He turned to follow her catching up more in a bound than in a run.

Dan stared at where the Horta had disappeared to. “Just fine over here Chief” Dan said responding to the CSO’s question.
Dan Jones (Scientist)
As Rxzyth came into sight, Liam shoved himself against a wall. He spied the Horta heading toward the Guardian’s direction before it vanished into the dying plasma explosion. His mind theorized it was out to protect the being they left behind, but he couldn’t be sure. Carefully he peeled himself from the rock structure as he heard both Dan and S’Raal. Moonshadow was already trailing after his expected wife causing Liam to speak up.
“Jones, I’m relieved. Now come on before we get separated from the others. I’m still puzzling over the Guardian’s last words,” Liam added as he gestured for Jones to hurry, his figure trailing S’Raal’s down the tunnel.
