I'm sure her >brother is evern stronger..." Arcturus chuckled quietly. He stared directly into the light with his green eyes, which were reflecting the light from the crystal in a very cat-like manner. He reached forward with his long, grey, wrinkled fingers. He touched the crystal with his palm. But when he made contacts he screeched with pain and was flung back into the wall. He slid down and raised his hand, he looked with anger at the crystal's shape, which was now burned into his hand. He noticed the fact that the skin on that palm was also burnt from an...earlier encounter. He quietly mumbled, "Soon.....I'll get you soon.....Dreadite." His thoughts were interrupted by Josh. Josh was yelling something at Arcturus. Arcturus's short antennae, which dangled from the back of his head, could barely understand Josh's words. He picked up something along the lines of, "How....can we....stop this?" Arcturus stood up and yelled, "Joshua, grab the needle with the sleeping person on it." Josh looked around on the table of surgical equipment and found it. Arcturus ambled over and snatched it out of Josh's hand. Reaching under the sheets he grabbed Sarah's arm and carefully poked the syringe into Sarah's skin. Sarahs stopped screaming and fell silent. The crystal also stopped as well. Arcturus helped Josh up and dusted him off. "Well, that should keep her asleep until morning." Josh was still a bit weary from the experience. Arcturus said, "Come now, I shall show you around Nemesis. Josh and Arcturus walked throught the dim, blue hall of the fallen ship Nemesis. The walls were rounded a bit, with no indication of being seperate sheets of metal. The floor was hard and metallic, it vibrated with the low throbbing of the ship's power source. Josh broke out of his awe to ask, "So...how big is the ship?" Arcturus shrugged, "No idea...most of it is filled with water. I haven't a clue what could be submerged." Soon, they reached the end of the hall. The room at the end was massive and dark. Josh couldn't see the other side in the deep black. Arcturus stepped forward onto a platform, which was hovering just under the doorway. Josh stepped on carfully, he could feel it bob slightly as he stepped on. Arcturus spoke in a strange, rumbling language, "Computer, moray san gak." The platfrom began to move. Arcturus said, "I've almost converted the computer to human languages. I still have to say a few words in my own language though." As the platform moved he spoke up, "Computer, lights." The gigantic room became illuminated in bright blue light. Josh gazed at the massive room. It was circular, and about 30 meters in diameter. The walls of the room glowed with an eerie blue light. In the middle of the room floated a circular blue platform which was about 4 meters in diameter. The platform was ringed with control panels. In the center of the platform was a large chair. It looked out of place in the sleek platform. The platform that they were on finally reached the center platform and they stepped off. Arcturus sat on the chair in the center and settled into it. Josh looked around, after a while he finally said, "Pfft, what a waste of space." Arcturus ignored the snide comment of Josh. Josh looked at Arcturus, "What do we do now?" Arcturus shrugs, "I don't know. Wait for Giovanni to give us a mission, I suppose." Josh narrowed his eyes, "And Sarah?" Arcturus glanced at him, "Who? Oh yes..the girl. Just as long as you don't take her away she's fine." TBC
