No Feuds Allowed!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 15911

Leela and E'eysha cheer, seeing something good has come and it looks all is well, but something slightly unplanned has occurred as the Champions back in the ship are standing in the dark with a glittering blue crystal...

A call is put out by Inquirer and the Doctor of the Voyager comes to lend medical aid to the Doctor of the Time Lords.

As he works over the unconscious Time Lord, a pleasant (if slightly tipsy) male voice begins to echo throughout the chamber."

"....they call me Mellow Yellow....."

"Sounds like Xoanon feels better now," Inquirer mutters, nodding at the welcome readings she's seeing on the tricorder.


Now, as an aside, one may ask what was meant by "unplanned" business?

Well, it soon becomes apparent that it is just a little too quiet on the Sevateem's island enclave. No, all the people (Tesh and Sevateem) are still alive and well (albeit sleeping). Rather, it's the animal life. See, Xoanon always played a hand in maintaining the equilibrium of the ecology inside the enclave, lowering things like the game animals population that the Sevateem depend upon to control their actions (like enforcing where they live and when they attack the Wall). Well, during the struggle with the Doctor, Xoanon inadvertently sent a impulse out that killed every last animal and plant within the enclave.....

Needless to say, when the Champions and others discover this, they are less than thrilled. A guarded truce is called between the Tesh and the Sevateem, talks centering around food and who'd lead...now that things had changed. The leader of the Tesh becomes very insulting, saying that his people would never accept the leadership "of a mindless savage." Andor (sans Neeva....who'd....regrettably died when Andor...er....somebody shot a crossbow into his back during battle....and he fell into that pit....regrettable), get a bit red at this and it looks like it'll become violent when Jared Cofflin, tired by this needless arguments....lays down the facts. In doing so, telling the strangers "who is who" and "what is what".

"Gentlemen....and I use the term lightly," the Chief Executive drawls, looking scornfully at both leaders, "I seem to get the idea that you plan on 'setting up camp' here on Nantucket? Start hunting around to replenish the old food stores and such?"

"But of course....." the leader of the Tesh begins to say, only to be interrupted by a harsh barking laugh from the former sheriff turn leader of Nantucket.

"This land is our land....not your land," Jared explains simply, "No outsider hunting aloud. Isn't like Xoanon is and your ship are going to be able to help now....."

The short of it was that either the two tribes made peace with each other and settle down peaceful like here in Nantucket, or they get the H*ll out of here....and try to make do on the mainland. As fine as hunters as both sides might be back on their old world.....it was a bit different here on Nantucket Earth. Many would be hungry real soon....if not dead from starvation....

"Isn't like we need the insanity of a full blown war along with every other bit of insanity we had today," the Chief ends.

With the large arsenal of weapons commandeered from one now dead Harry Smith (re: 15463,who in another storyline had been killed by one of Walker's cronies before he'd been able to offer an alliance with Walker), those of Nantucket could easily clean both the Sevateem's and the Tesh's clocks (AK-47's have a bit more range and the Nantucketers had the home field advantage in a battle here....if it came down to it). Not like Xoanon's ship was space worthy after all this time (despite the lighting and such still working). Too long without maintenance and such.....

"We'll get back to you on that...." both leaders of both tribes say....looking worried.

"No jihads allowed," Jared said to a disgruntled looking vixen Janeway, "I won't stand for it. However, if you could somehow get the two sides to see reason.....smooth out things like I've seen those of Star Fleet being able to do....."

"I'll see what I can do," the Star Fleet captain sighs, seeing an uphill battle ahead....but she thought it was "doable".

Stanger things than peace had happened today.....


The Doctor

"And to imagine one time I'd kiddingly joked about divine intervention being unlikely with that one militia member awhile ago," the Doctor muttered, administering one last hypospray to the unconscious Doctor.

Meeting the Rules and Agents today earlier was pretty close.... the EMH continued to himself, sighing mentally.

This had been a strange day.

Xoanon had, after recovering somewhat from being "zonked" from the healing magic of Sigin (augmented with that blue crystal), had been falling all over himself in appologiesfor the terrible things that had happened.

Inquirer and the others had said, in return, it wasn't like the machine intelligence had been in his right mind. What with two personalities running around inside his circuits and all. The EMH decided to ask the....others.....later about that. Right now it wasn't the time or place for "Twenty Questions."

"Okay...I've talked with those back on the Enclave," Elrondir says, getting of the combadge with B'Elanna, "Leela wants to tag along, and I figure that we have room in the TARDIS....."

The other members of this odd little group (except the still unconsious Time Lord), chuckle a little at that one, including the EMH. The EMH had been told by.....others....one of the reasons why the Doctor's group had come to Leela's world....at least in passing.

It would be ironic if after all this adventure that Leela wanted to stay home and be a good little tribe member, Inquirer said to herself.

"She'd be a welcome addition to this little gang, eh?" Gilmuriel added, chuckling.

That said, Inquirer observed that the longer they stayed around here the more chance something could go wrong. The Doctor had mentioned in passing that those from a future Terra Prime (future Champions) were still about. The EMH hadn't gone into details, but the Golem (odd name for a new race...considering the rather....er....colorful reputation golems had in Jewish mythology....but no more so than say the species called dragons) hadn't needed any more details. Time paradox wasn't something she and the others wanted to deal with here!

"We've got to make ourselves and the Doctor scarce," the Golem woman sighs.

"You know you really shouldn't move him...." the EMH begins to protest....only to pause in consternation as the prone figure of the Doctor begins to levitate by magic.

"That.....could work," the EMH concedes, nodding.

"Goodbye," the Doctor of the Voyager says as the others board the antigrav transporter (called forth by Xoanon) and head back to the Sevateem enclave...and the TARDIS.

The TARDIS dematerializes (after Betty and Ragan invites Leela to touch a control on the control column). After the Doctor (the Time Lord one) recovers in the Zero Room, he sets the TARDIS towards Dr. What's Galifrey....

  1. ....and that universe's Romana. She's talking with her co-worker, Lady Rodan....
