*Bell drips dry, sitting on a counter she contemplates her options. Which were rather grand since she couldn't die. She decides to do something much like her mother, cause trouble, to the point were she was just a bother. She could fake her own death and walk away free. Gathering her aura in her hands she melts the showerhead and knobs to scrap. The bathroom begins to rapidly fill with water. Bell merely looks innocent and twiddles her toes, waiting for the room to fill.*

A small warning light flickers on and off in Truinthil's room. Despite his previous kindness in not turning on the video camera in the bathroom before, he had to check this out. It could cause problems if left unchecked. Grunting to himself and getting up, he went back to the cockpit and within mere seconds had flipped the once ominous switch, making a viewscreen appear in front of him. Ignoring the fact that there was a remarkably attractive woman sitting naked on the counter in the bathroom, he sighed at the water. Pressing a button next to the camera switch, he made a chidding sound. That noise would be carried into an intercom in the bathroom, well hidden and quite difficult to damage. "I recomend that you grab onto something. I'm going to have to open the emergency release hatch located underneath the shower. This will create a vacuum that..." Stopping in mid sentance, he sighed and turned off the intercom. She wanted away from him and would likely go to extreme lengths to do so. He would have to get her himself.
Typing in a command on a small keyboard to his left, the water would cease to fill the room and the door unlock. Within seconds he was at that door and already opening it. He knew she would not be pleased, likely still being in the nude, but he could not allow her to escape. Whether she died in space or was somehow impervious to its cold vacuum wasnt a factor. He couldnt let her leave. "Now now now. Let's behave, shall we?" he said as he opened the door quickly, moving incredibly fast even through the high water to attempt to grab her.

*Bell in a quick movement dove into the water, swimming with great agility she rips down the shower curtain and moves with the wave of water leaving through the door. She stands shakily and wraps the shower curtain around herself. Slipping and sliding, she keeps her wet curls out of her eyes as she runs to the controls. She simply begins to pound at the control panel.* Screw you!

Watching the specticle of her trying to get away, Truinthil shook his head. "Well, not that I would be against such carnal pleasures, but I'm really not sure you would be so willing to just jump into bed with me like that. You do realize that I may have to restrain you now since you tried to flood the ship." He tilted his head, looking at Bell as if she were a mouse and he the cat.

~In space...~
With all the focus and effort being put onto the Citadel as of late, it was little surprise that KB had ventured out into calling a favor from an old friend or two. His days as a 'pirate' had given him a couple of connections, and in the time that he'd faced his lover building her own ship, he had to built a vessel of memory and emotion.
A combat ship, designed to blow apart every c**k-sucking cloaked piece of pilferring pirate s**t in the universe.
The 5 objects that had risen from the planet as of late had so far baffled the waiting ship one that stood only a bit off from the planet boldly. No real stealth ability to the vessel, but rather only sheer power and a casual undertone of historical reference. The scanning ability however was top-knotch, due to a pirate's usual affinity for cloaking or trying to hide in gaseous clouds and whatnot.
Still, the crew had yet to pinpoint the location of the 5 objects. The main cause of which had been thir scanners hitting spikes and pitches of magical energy, which threw most of the higher-tech gear out the window. The lower-tech stuff wasn't much use due to it's navigational importance and lack of ability to disect a cloaking device's parameters. Until the magic of the planet had been subdued, they ability to see the orbiting objects was slight.
They would however suffice to spot T's rocket breaking away from the grips of gravity. Interested by this sudden discovery, the crew had forwarded the vessel to the Captain, who had decided to take a casual interest in the capsule. Their sensors would remain locked on T's rocket as long as it remained within range, which would be a considerable distance.
HERITAGE stood poised for either pursuit or attack, depending on the fickle whims of it's Captain. The actions of the capsule would dictate the movement of the capital ship. Were it to move outside the sensor range, chances were that the waiting ship would follow, if only for a time.
(( Squee-like, yo. ))

*Pulling a hanging livewire down from the ceiling. She clutches it in her fingers.* I won't let you touch me! *Her purple eyes bleed to gold. Her breath is labored with adrenaline. Her wet hair drips water down her skin to the floor, yet she is unaffected by the electricity. Her curls stick in swirling patterns around her back, shoulders and the edges of her face. She bites her lower lip, missing her lip gloss momentarily. Her hips hold up her makeshift shower curtain dress.*

Grumbling in impatience, Truinthil shook his head. "We do not have time for petty games. Release the wire and get into a room. Now." His tone wasnt of anger, but it wasnt gentle either. He had just felt something wash over him. It was something completely different than anything he had felt in centuries. Incredibly faint as it was to his senses, he could still remember the feeling of radar bouncing off his body. The ship had been picked up on some form of radar technology. Where it was, what it was, or who it was were all variants that Truinthil had no knowledge of at this point, but he didnt plan to stick around to find out. Luckily for them, this wasnt just the average rocket capsule from the days of old. He had borrowed a bit of alien technology back then and had had it modified. This ship was small, but it was fast. "I will not repeat myself again. Behave and get into a room. Now."
Within seconds he was back in the cockpit and opened up a small panel. It was a risky shot, seeing as how such technology had a habit of rendering ships useless for hours at a time sometimes, but he was willing to take it. Muttering a curse under his breath he hit the button revealed by the panel and for a moment nothing happened. The engines hummed to a stop and all seemed to be utterly still. Then with a massive roar and the sensation of being hurtled through space at speeds far surpassing that of light, the ship vanished from the sight of the earth. Wormhole harnessing technology, borrowed from aliens, was useful if not always entirely reliable. With luck the ship would come out of the wormhole in tact and still running. If not, he would have to worry about being found by either the people he just left behind or by unfriendlies in the part of space the ship was now headed to.

Turning in his chair on the lower section of the brigde, an ensign of sorts tilted his head up to the imposing captain, his fingers flittering over the panel for a moment. The captain sighed softly, his right hand twitching as his lifeless gray eyes fell upon the young man. "Yes?"
"Sir, the vessel is gone..." "Gone?" "Yessir. It seems to have low-grade jump technology. Chances are the vessel is designed to be a low-range smuggling pod." The captain grimaces at the incompetance of his crew. "Give me probable course, account for inaccuracy of the mechanism based off what we have in our records. I want the measurements of that capsule and the information from our scans as well. As soon as we have an effective series of destinations we'll launch the probes." He ordered boredly, as he slouched back into his comfortable chair and casually regarded the crew. "Yessir. Two minutes sir." So slow...
T effectively had three minutes before the 12 most propable locations would be filtered through into the far-shot probes. Unlike their mundane counterparts, each was fitted with a jump drive that could take them to a location within inches, as long as their navigational computers remained active. Their technology wasn't nearly as old or askew as most of the things found near the BC or in other regions, and thus the Captain was a bit suprised to have run into such a faulty mechanism.

*Bell looks dumbfounded and drops the wire. Holding the shower curtain tightly to her flesh she falls back into the nearest room and stumbles onto the bed. She quickly exchanges the wet shower curtain for a warm smooth sheet from the bed. Huddling near the headboard of the bed she stares at her toes. Was her enemy's enemy her friend or just yet another cruel enemy? Both possibilities plagued her incessantly.*

It would seem like an eternity had gone by, but in real time, only thirty seconds had passed as Truinthil's small ship broke out of it's high speed travel. Luckily the ship survived completely in tact, but the information that started showing in front of Truinthil did not please him. A little off course and there was a rather large ship within range of his ship's sensors. That meant it was very close in space terms. The main engines would be down for several minutes, however, so until then, he would have to rely on the ships secondary engines which were more for slipping through dangerous places unnoticed. Quiet and only powerful enough to provide adaquate thrust to maneuver properly and to not appear a dead ship. It would not be enough to remove the ship from the sensors of the much larger vessel he had managed to exit the wormhole near. He hoped desperately that it wouldnt be a ship run by the more violent and unaccomodating races that ruled this part of space.
To precise as to where Truinthil had taken the ship, they were now coasting at a slow pace through the Andromeda galaxy which lay just over two million light years from Earth and the Milky Way. Wormholes were such a wonderful tool when used properly. Standard light-travel would have required stasis pods and would have resulted in a useless waste of time anyway.

Child's play.
If only the Captain had the intention to simply destroy T and his meager vessel, perhaps the course of history would've changed for the better. Perhaps, the death of the two occupants would herald a new time for the BC, ceasing the actions of one powerful being and spurring the action of an enraged sibling. Still, as it stood the two seemed destined to survive, for as the lone probe broke free some distance from the vessel from the clutches of 'impossible' speeds of travel, it regarded the surrounding area in a fashion completely suiting of a dismembered eye. Objectively.
Hardly amused, the sleepy looking Captain regarded his bridge with dismay. He hardly seemed worthy of his position, though such a inaccurate assumption had been disproven time and time again. He watched lazily the actions of his crew, watched how they failed where he could excel without even a slight measure of self-application. If only he could be everywhere at once, he'd have spaced the lot of them when he first took the mighty ship.
"One to Two and Three to Four, march the crew on out the door, Five to Six and all that s**t don't forget to hang the kids, Eight and Nine cause I can't count watch these idiots try to figure it out..." He mumbled lazily to himself, meeting the worried faces of the bridge crew with that same sleepy demeanor, despite the fact that they knew him to be quite serious. The threat of mutiny hung strongly in the bridge, though they all knew they would'nt be able to stop him from destroying them all outright in a moment's notice.
All in due time.
"To probe Four! Step on it and call back the other rice crispies, tis time to interrogate our forerunner, in all his almighty glory!" The Captain shouted, sarcasm and seriousness biting and grating into each other in bitter dominance over the lifeless voice. Being locked in mortal combat did his intentions clash, the invitation to lunch for the pod's crew holding it's own against the image of the small capsule being instantly wiped away by a barrage of weaponry.
And so the ship turned with grace, and in a brief flash left the sky of the planet below with a tiny twinkle that would likely remain unoticed by all. Off to pursue T's little ship, to reclaim the small probe that scuttled along behind them impassively.

*Bell remains where she is, feeling safe in the big bed. Thinking, she had to be thinking. Yet she was so tired. How did her mother do this so often? She pulls the warm sheet tight around her waist but frees her legs. She sits there, her wet hair drying slowly but currently it sticks to her face and neck.*

Growling at himself impatiently, Truinthil turned to and from various monitors that displayed engine status, hull status, and various other readings about the ship. What he was paying attention to most of all was the rather large vessel approaching at a rather fast rate. Maybe it was friendly or maybe it was not so. He had no idea what could have changed in the thousands of years since he had last been in this region of space. All allies he could have made back then, or at least that the original could have made, may be long deceased and their legacies forgotten. It was a bold move to come here. He would soon find out just how bad an idea it may have been.

Large was one way of callsifying the approaching vessel, though the fact that it's deep orbit nearl classified it as a small moon mgiht've made on regard it as much larger than 'Large'. In the case of the 8 kilometer+ long vessel, the term best used might be 'All-encompassing'.
In any case, the 400+ firing batteries locked onto the pod were staying their weapons for the moment. The Captain had ordered a slow approach, with the tractor beams set at their max range. Coming upon the pod quickly, the multiple beams (about six in total from that under-arc) would lock onto the pod and attempt to forcefully drag it into a loading bay.
If successful the pod would find itself inside a secure hangar, the open deck where the pod being brought in would close. The occupants, Bell and T, would be faced with an entire squadron of heavily armed troops. Why? because they were bored and the Pod was the first and might've been the only shot at some action.
In any case, this was assuming the pod didn't somehow avoid capture.

*Bell remains cuddled into the sheets. Hopefully she could persuade her captor to not lock her up. Her violet eyes darken and she nibbles on her bottom lip. She taps her bare hip with a manicured nail. This situation was getting stickier each moment.*
