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.

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.

The sight that greeted them as they emerged was one of chaos. Debris and body parts were strewn everywhere, thankfully most Starfleet personnel had cleared the blast radius save for an unlucky few who had been picked up and thrown by the concussion. At first glance all you could see was rubble but then out of the dust something could be seen, or more correctly could not be seen. The Guardian was no longer flickering with energy. A large crack traced it’s outline from top to bottom.

T’Pon standing next to Rxzyth spun and looked at them eyes wide with horror. “We tried to change the timeline to save ourselves but now we may have doomed the future for everyone!”

Dan thought briefly about how he could use a vacation. Dan then said “Aye Chief. On your heels. And how you doing?”

Passing by T’Pon Dan said to her ” If we take anything away from this it’s that the future is not set in stone and is unpredictable. I wouldn’t dismiss anything just yet.”

“Well, the creature is irritated but it is behaving so far. How much longer that remains will depend on our situation,” Liam answered honestly about his symbiote, disregarding his own well being in the situation.

As he stepped out into the destruction, his eyes scanned the horror that met him then into the space above the planet. He wasn’t sure what he might see. Only that it was better than standing here, among the wreckage, and feeling useless. Maybe the answers lied in the scenery rather than what was happening around them.

His eyes snapped to Dan, catching his words about the future. It was true. The future was always changing based on the actions of those creating it. Anything thoughts toward solutions felt pointless without the actual knowledge of what was happening and how.

“S’Raal, T’Pon could use your support,” Liam said quietly to the now ex-CMO of the Athena. The tone wasn’t an order, but rather a suggestion and hint that she needed emotional support from the person she loved the most. He stepped forward to join Dan.

“He’s right. Time is complicated, full of cause and effect. We have to understand them because it gives us variables and understanding how it influences the outcome,” He stated to no one particular.

S’Raal looked at him and nodded. T’Pon, drawn to Rxzyth laid her hands on the Silicon lifeform and initiated a mind meld, her face a mask of concentration.

Meanwhile a crackling sound could be heard above and a large energy bubble started to slowly descend upon them from the heavens.

T’Pon straightened her hands still on the Horta and she looked at Liam and S’Raal. Her voice was different and had a metallic quality to it as she relayed Rxzyth’s words. “I must sacrifice of myself so that the Guardian may live again, science and medicine combined must repair him”.

Liam noticed T’Pon mind meld with Rxzyth. Patiently he waited, then listened to the Vulcan reveal the Silicon’s purpose. His thoughts were interrupted when a loud crack caused him to look upward. An energy bubble seemed to bud at the top and flow downward, encasing them in the area. Once more T’Pon’s words demanded his attention when she spoke of science and medicine were required to fix the Guardian of Forever. The statement felt a little ambitious to him.

A little confused, the CSO looked at S’Raal in hopes the physician might’ve had a clue in how they could do this. Liam decided to ignore his small fear of artificial intelligence as it wouldn’t help this endeavor. Though he would be lying to say he wasn’t looking forward to it.
