Aayla stayed in the lift after Captain t'Rheu spead off with the Romulan Girl and played with how much weight she could put on her leg. After deciding that she could most likely walk on it for a short period of time, she thought about what to do in the current situation. The Charon was falling apart, she had faith in commander Calhoun but not enough to think that even his track record of never loosing a ship applied to the Charon. Over 200 lightyears from reinforcements, the QF was most likely all the way on the other side of Romulan space by now and the Vree Command Frequency she had encountered was no more than a bogey, useless, decaying for more than 10,000 years in the void of space.
The number of years that the signal had been in this region of space kept circling in her mind. 10,000, she had heard it before, she just couldnt remember what conection there was between 10,000 and the Vree.
"The Nameless Planet." She muttered to herself.
It was a legend sure but if the Vree and the Kree had warp travel over 10,000 years ago, and came from the same genetic base, then it was entirely possible that the Charon was somewhere in the proximity of the Planet she had heard about so many times as a child. She knew how she could help now, though the Holoscroll of Dicon said the planet was deserted, there might be some parts that could help out assuming that the Charon could get past the blockade of Romulan Warbirds outside the nebula.
"Deck 4 section one." Aayla ordered the computer.
==/\==Deck 4, Section 1, Cabin 445==/\==
Luckily Aayla's quarters had been spared damage, and made finiding what she was looking for, a lot easier. She walked as fast as she could with her broken leg, to her large white book case. She ran her fingers across the spines of the ancient manuscripts and stopped at one that read.
Benaburia D'e Uion Dicon
(Book of the Dicon.)
Aayla opened up to the fifth page and ran her finger across the page trying to find what the book said about a nebula.
In the skies of the planet there was a gold expanse, a jewl in the minds of the people. It helped the citizens of .........allia choose their paths in the skies above.......
"Yy'a does have some gold in it...."
And from that shimering jewl in the sky something terrible emerged from it's depths....
"Much like our current situation....."
A temple of stars it was at first, a bright opening in space, as if the heavens had opened thier gates to reveal paradise....
"A wormhole?" Aayla asked.
Aayla continued to read and without more concrete intell. they were sunk if they didnt find this wormhole or what ever it was. She then ran her hands along the spines of the books again, this time looking for that concrete intell. "Here." She muttered to her self as she pulled out a black leather parcel. She unfolded the black leather to reveal ther ancient star charts she had know so well. She gently pulled the sides apart to reveal a map of the known galaxy about 10,000 years ago.
"Balmorra, Rigel, and that's Risheye." Aayla said as she traced the Charon's course.
But then a sudden power failure stopped her efforts and only the light from the nebula gave her enough light to grab her Iso Tager she brought with her from Vre'allia. Something wasnt right......
