Incompatible (Part 3).....

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 5765

Our Ensign Solomon was batting a thousand that night. And his luck, already gone sour....went to Hades when his drunken path lead him across the path of Sigin Vulpine's brood.

Sigin had led his kit's, along with his mate, out for a late night stroll (yeah....he's more of a night person now...due to him being part fox and all....)

Solomon ran right through the pack, and tripped on the little female kit, Nita. She yelped, and then she and her brothers and sisters turned their anger upon....Bristol.

The bites weren't life threatening, nor too....many as their frightened parents saw as they pulled their children off the drunken Federation Ensign....but....

Bristol had been bitten...repeatedly.....by lycanthropes. Worse, of the breed that had an even more likely to....set in...than the old style. With a regular lycanthrope....the odds of infection are....oh....30 percent.....incubation done in a month (i.e. a full blown lycanthrope at the end of the month). With a demi-fox, the incubation time is a bit shorter, with something like an....85 percent chance (I hear that the manimal strain of lycanthropy....before Fred came around...was almost instantaneous with a 98 percent chance of infection.....bleh...).

Uh....let's put it this way.....

The demifox clan up in Walants is going....to get a new member.....real soon hear.

Janeway hit the roof. I don't blame her. However, we can't help poor Human (for the time being) Ensign Solomon. The only cure we had were the Crystallics. The Doctor....the entirety of Federation Science can't stop the demifox lycanthropy from having it's way with Solomon.

If they take Solomon with them, the changes that have already been wrought on him (small seeming that it seems)....will kill him. His Matrix is in a state of flux...that would shatter....leaving him dead.

The Federation has no knowledge with magic. It's driving them nuts. I feel for them. Creator, I do!

If he's going to live in anything like a normal life, he's stuck on Terra. Even if the Voyager let his Matrix get to a point were he could live in a magicless universe....it wouldn't be much of a life. He'd be stuck in the form of a small demifox, with no immune system to speak of...nor anything in the way of being able to recover from even the smallest of injuries.

See, even the cutting edge of Federation technology has to have SOME type of regenerative powers within the body. All lycanthropes have incredible regenerative abilities, but it's all MAGICAL! All magic, and nothing else.

We launched every last death ship...every last "Slammer." Every last Lizard/Enemy/Race held world....in all known universes....have been shattered to rubble by ships ramming into them at light speed. Anything left over of the Enemy is....small fry now (if it hasn't collapsed with the death of their infrastructure....destroying planets can do that).

So, the Alliance has won the Enemy/Alliance war, but problems and challenges still abound. Our worst fears about the Corporation have been confirmed while all this was happening. They have held back the secrets of the antimatter drive, and had been in the process of building a large fleet of starships. We just left one war, and now have another one....a Civil War. The Fleet is boosting off to war.....again.

We have our planetary defenses, and a crew manning them, but they won't be able to help the locals with domestic problems....

Locally, the Regent has just ended a week long mourning ritual for those lost in battle with Zerm AND the loss of Sato. I and my father (now both....civilians....now that's a WEIRD thing to be), have been invited to a combined ritual of marriage and Dragon Sigin joining his Hoard with the coins of Ethiopia.

Fred and Astra 3 through 5 must decide just where in Aqualaria they're going to go.

Probe now has the somewhat funny problem of having two dragon mages (Dragon Sigin and Dragon Synizn) having sworn fealty to him (considering the background of an AI still being considered property by the Company...and only through the demands of the Military are AIs given equality....one can see why he doesn't exactly like this situation).

And there's the notion that the Malachi sisters have fallen in love with....

I did have to tell them about the United Nations back Home....when it was a going concern......!

Janeway and the Voyager are gone, being "escorted" to something called "the Guardian of Forever."

We never have been able to get those damn things to even talk with us. They probably know that we'd use them in a heartbeat to change history for the better! And I think those...Rules....have something to do with them being quiet.

But that's not my problem right now. I can only handle my own, pray to the Creator of the Grand Simulation for Him to aid his Constructs for other people's problems. Sometimes....that's all you can do....

Sometimes you can "Change the rules" to win....but sometimes you still lose.....

  1. Follow the Voyager? (Lots, I think you might want this one).
  2. Meanwhile, down on the world of Terra (JH, how about you?)
