The far reaches of the galaxy held a single sleek ship speeding through space, bioengineered to withstand the extremes of space travel. It was a rather large vessel, large enough to hold a crew compliment of about four of The Far Ones, though only one ever piloted a ship. There seemed to be no visible panels or controls in the cavity Terra had been deposited except warm glowing bumps on the floor and ceiling. The entire ship seemed alive, for indeed it was, a highly resilliant fighting machine grown from the genetic material of its pilot.
There didn't seem to be any bars or restraints of any physical sort, but if Terra should try to harm the ship or go more than ten feet away from the bumps her legs would cease functioning. Twenty feet away her arms would cease. Thirty feet her body would shut down entirely. Two voices continually whispered in her mind, both very much the same. The ship and its pilot. There was a strong feeling of psionics throughout the ship and now pervading her own thoughts. Akaran`ni was nowhere to be seen.

She stirred, her body twitched as she slowly began to awaken. Gasping softly, she rolled onto her stomach, then slowly lifted herself up with her shakey arms. Her silver curls spilled over her shoulders and around her face. Her eyes flutterd open, and stared at the floor beneath her. Bumps on the floor, glowing, warm to the touch. She couldn't really remember what happend, but she did hear the two voices whispering in her mind. She cringed as she sat herself up and lifted her head to look around. The voices, who were they, where was she. In truth she was frightend, completly frightend, she didn't hear the Dominion, she couldn't feel the presence of Mindblaze, she felt utterly alone. She was beginning to remember then, Mindblaze went nuts on her after she had given him the crystal, he wasn't him, he smacked her, and then white. She brought a hand to her cheek, tears threatend to spill from her golden eyes. "Mindblaze.......Where...am I? Where?!" She then hugged her legs to her chest, and rested her forehead on her knees. She spent a few moments huddled in her spot, calming herself, collecting her thoughts, and trying to collect her sanity, to force her fear away.

As her voice echoed through the halls of the great beast the two voices whispering in her mind became clear. At first they spoke in a tongue she couldn't understand, but quickly it shifted to english, ...at will we do with her? I don't know, its not for me to say. The Sra'xa'diin High Council of War is to have her. What then? Then...she will be rebor...she can hear us. The ship seemed to convulse around her as the whispers ceased. Shadows cast upon the wall played tricks on the mind, making it seem Akaran`ni would pop out of anywhere at any time. However, his voice came clear in her mind, Silence. Do not force me to shut down your vocal organs. This...Mindblaze you mention. What is it? I thought we weren't going to be interrogating her. I'm not interrogating her you san`kar`ri, I'm making conversation before she gets the honor of leaving her mortal shell and joining the celestial heavens.
((Sra'xa'diin is the actual name for Species 8472))

The voices where clearer now, and she lifted her head. She turned her head, trying to found the source of the voices, but only noticed the shadows on the wall. She quickly unwrapped her arms from her legs, then tried to get to her feet. But she found she was still disoriented, and slumped back to the floor again. Her golden eyes blazed with fury now, she was not going to fear these things whatever they were and even though she found herself not being able to stand at the moment she was just as stubborn as ever. "Who are you? Answer me now! Was it you who brought me here? Let me go, I need to go back, something is wrong with him I have to help him!" She yelled, the tears now spilled from her eyes and trailed down her cheeks. "Who is this Council of War? And what do you mean joining the celestial heavens!? Get me out right now and take me back! At lest show yourselves!" She took a deep breath, she had a feeling she was either going to be sitting here yelling for awhile, or they were able to silence her, either way she wasn't going to be silent. She closed her eyes, and she expanded her aura. Her way of studying her surroundings, and outside this room. She was seeking the Dominion, searching, and her voice echoed out, yelling for Mindblaze.

Just behind the fleshy wall behind her Terra would find the inky blackness of space. The living aura of the two beings filled the ship, which wasn't surprising as they two were largely the same and both were living beings. Shadows shifted as Terra's voice cut off somewhere in the middle of her last sentence, Akaran`ni was coming. Complex in form even on the level of his DNA he came into view, striding in upon three legs. His face was gaunt and eyes set wide, his hairless skull sweeping back, but no real mouth or ears could actually be seen. Those same unique eyes glared at her as he approached, his voice blaring in her mind, I am Akaran`ni. I am the liason between the Council of War and September of the Stars. Will you shut up? I will not. She deserves to know so at least she'll calm down. What is this Mindblaze your mind calls for?

Terra turned, and watched as the three legged creature appeared before her. She showed no fear, instead anger and sorrow glinted in the depths of her golden eyes. She winced slightly, his voice loud in her mind, but she lifted her head and her eyes stared squarely into his. He is my King, the King of the Dominion, of Utopia. Her voice spoke to them, in their minds like how theirs spoke to her, and her voice was just as loud. And you will take me back there, now, my home its in danger, please you must take me back right now!

The second voice sighed, Are you sure I can't just depressurize and let her be blown to bits by the vaccuum of space? NO! We need to take her to the Council. She's getting annoying though. I am the pilot, you are the ship, what I say goes. Great, pulling rank on me again. I was born from your DNA you know. Theres a reason I'm so damned stubborn. They ignored her, going about bickering to themselves.

She grew frustrated, desperate and searched around the room she was in. So the ship was alive, this interested her to some extent, yet didn't suprise her. She pursed her lips together, thinking to herself for a moment, then reached into the pocket of her skirt. She pulled out a crystal, a little crystal the color of crimson. She held it in her hands, and then cupped her hands around it. She unlocked the seal and energy suddenly poured forth from the crystal. She began to control it, causing the energy that was now in the form of crimson mists, to flow around her. She closed her eyes and let the energy flow. What she was doing, well that was for them to find out of course.

As she began to draw forth the energy Akaran`ni's gaze fell on her and the voices halted. The pilot rushed forth to grab her, aiming for the neck, and lift her off the ground. His voice surged in her mind, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? While they were not accustomed to seeing magic, they knew energy buildups were something to take notice of. Seeing as that energy buildup was within the ship, it was only common sense to think that the ship would notice it quickly.

Her gaze lifted and her glowing gold eyes glared at him. As he rushed forward to grab her, she sent a surge of energy crashing towards him. Don't touch me! Take me back! the mists thickend, she was trying to create a portal for which she could go through and reach the citadel. But it was proveing difficult, she was so far away, and with the creature comeing at her she had to stop on the portal and focus the energy into protecting herself.

The energy washed over his skin and sent him skidding backwards upon the organic floors of his ship. He withstood the barrage and began to advance on her again, thoughts being thrown around between the pilot and his ship, Get us to fluidic space, now! Yes, sir! You are our property. You are just a part of that san`kar`ri September of the Stars. I don't know anything about this Mindblaze, but if what you say is true I think I'm going to have to have a little chat with September after you are processed. Cease and desit and we'll make it a peaceful chat with you...King.

As he advanced towards her, she again summoned forth an great amount of energy and it surrounded her in an invisible barrier, but could clearly be felt. The crystal in her hands glowed brightly now, as she was useing as a medium for the controlling of this energy. I belong to no one, and don't you dare harm my king, or I swear I will destroy myself and this...thing along with me. I belong to myself, and I belong at the citadel, with the Dominion. Her voice hissed angerily, and yet she then felt a tinge of fear creep up her spine. She moved her right hand so it touched the floor, while her other still held the crystal and she began to feel for the ship's energy. It was apparent that she was going to put up a fight. Who were these creatures? Why did you take me?

A laugh begin to fill her mind as the pilot pressed against the barrier, The more you resist, the greater this King of yours will suffer. With only eight of my compatriots I can destroy your planet. Imagine what we can do to a single insolent b***h masquerading as a man. Entering Fluidic space in 5... You cannot hope to escape ...4... Where we are going, ...3... you won't have to worry about ...2... him ever again. ...1. Quantum Anomoly Created. Crossing event horizon. Goodnight. A surge of energy passed through the ship as it crossed the event horizon, and when mixed with the blast of psionic energy sent through to Terra, it was more than enough to knock her out.

As he spoke, the glow left her eyes, life seemed to drain from her, and she hung her head. Silver curls fell around her face, and hid her expression. As he mentioned harming Mindblaze, she knew she had lost. and in defeat dropped the crystal form her hands. When it touched the floor it instantly turned to ash and all energy simply dissapeared. But before the barrier couple fade completly, and before she could say another word, the blast of Psionic energy crashed into her and her world went dark. She slumped to the floor.

~~~Several hours later~~~
The Bioship passed though fluidic space unhindered and even escorted by its fellow conjoined bioships and pilots. The feel of what lay beyond the wall behind Terra, whenever she should awake, was very different than before. The ship passed through the fluid that made up their entire universe at incredible speeds. Pauses were taken only to combat some of the larger entities that inhabited the sea of Akaran`ni's home, but most times these were dealt with by the ever growing number of escorts. Akaran`ni himself stayed near Terra, watching her in unconsciousness, studying her, though he had the manners not to inspect her as thouroughly as a stereotypical alien might.
