Devoid of that precious sensation that belonged to Akem, Lai’s mind went on high alert. No! Her hand pushed out, pushing against someone else’s as she eyes finally slipped open. With all her will she pushed back against the lifeforce she didn’t recognize, unaware of the details, only that they had to be stopped. She would not go down willing, ever. Fortunately for Kristina though, Lai was still rather weak, so the woman’s efforts effectively pushed her backwards on the bed, as if being repelled. Their hands never touched.
Terrified, her heart rate jumped, the biobed monitor beeping in alarm. Doctor Kedvis moved over swiftly. “Hey, it’s okay, you’re safe here. You just had surgery and need to rest.”
But Lai wasn’t having any of it! Her gaze flew to Akem and she pushed herself upright with nothing short of determination. “I won’t stay here! I won’t be some experiment!”
~Lai Kitrian
Forced backwards, Kristina had to brance her hand n the foot of the bed to keep from toppling backwards. She said nothing but her eyes were wide. Whoa, what the hell was that?
Akem brought his eyes squarely in front of her own, one hand on her hand, the other gently to her opposite cheek. “Sshh, I won’t let that happen you know it. The Terran Empire does not exist here. If that’s true, we are…hopefully…safe.” It would be clear to Lai he was thinking straight and entirely focused on her.

She wanted to believe that so much but they had bene on the run for so long that it felt like too much of a stretch, too much to ask. Hazel eyes ringed with with gold and brimming with tears, Lai focused on Akem. “How do we know it won’t happen here too?” she whispered, drawing at least a little bit of strength from her lover.
A small beep could be heard as Kanok pulled out a datapad out of his leather tunic’s front pocket. There on the display was an alert gone all over Oed about the potential return of Halai Cosgrove and her state of health. He grunted at Conrad and slapped his shoulder before showing him the display.
-Kanok
Conrad looked at the report and his grew wide. The whole of Oed now knew that they were here. Who else was on their way now? The last thing he needed was to be the center of some strange conspiracy or happenstance. He empathized though with Akem and Lai. They didn’t seem to know any more than they did about what was going on, and they were soon going to be at the center of everyone’s attention. Conrad quietly moved forward with a small communicator specifically designed for Black Sparrow personnel. “Here,” he said quietly to Akem, handing over the device. “You can reach me through this if you need to. We’ll be in touch if you need us.”
He then turned to Kanok and nodded before stepping out of the room with him in the hopes of getting out of the hospital before more people showed up and made a scene.

Lai watched the man step out with wariness but also some relief. There had bene far too many people for her liking.
Meanwhile, Kedvis was watching the monitor and nodded. “Your vitals look better, but you need rest,” he said softly.
Rest. It was an unknown word to her. There was no rest. Not for her, not for Akem. But… maybe this placewas different. Time would tell. At least Akem seemed convinced it was safe here and she trusted him more than anything.
~Lai Kitrian
As Conrad left, Kristina slipped off the bed and followed him out into the hallway. “Where the hell do you think you’re going? You are not leaving me here to deal with this. You brought them here, you’re a part of this too!” she said, trying to keep her voice hushed even as she felt a surge of anger. “Did you see what she was able to do to me? Even my sister can’t do that. Her abilities aren’t like that.”
~Kristina Cosgrove
Michael turned around to face Kristina, his voice hushed as well so as not to bring too much attention to himself. “I did see what she did to you. It seems that you and I are on the same page. That woman is not your sister. So what more is there for us to do? I’m just concerned taxi driver in all this it would seem.” He used one hand and gestured to the room. “They now know how to get a hold of me, just like your sister did…discreetly. I don’t like attention on me and my ship, and media is the last thing I need in my life. But you’re welcome to join me if you want” he replied, listening to her as he slowly walked backwards.
