Down the Rabbit Hole: Capter 13

[Diana Talon]

"Well, we're more looking for safe passage and possibly at least a friendly alliance. We're from a very long distance away and we're on... I guess you could say a quest." Diana said with a half smile.

[Trosk]

"I cannot speak for the other Warchiefs of the Council. You must return to your people, or you may request special dispensation from the 12 tribes of the Council Fire. There is no other way."

[Seraphina Morris]

"Then we will need to meet with your Council." Seraphina spoke up. "We have come too far to turn back now. We need safe passage and perhaps... a friendly guide to help us. I represent the Alpha Quadrant Alliance but that means about as much to you as saying I am Queen of the Lollypop Guild. But I have negotiated before. We don't have a lot to offer, in fact we may need some supplies but we can promise you that we won't cause you any trouble."

[Trosk]

"You will disable your navigational computer, and your leader and one other will physically bring that part with you to my ship to ensure your continued peaceful intentions." Trosk demanded.

[Diana Talon]

"Uhm... why would we do that?" Diana raised an eyebrow. "Unless you're going to personally tow us, we need our nav computer."

[Trosk]

"Very well, you and one other, will be my guest aboard my ship," Trosk said annoyance in his voice.

[Alexander Calhoun]

"Di, you sure about this?" Alex said with a raised eyebrow

"No... but do we have any choice." Diana replied and crossed her arms. "Do you have teleporter tech? We can transport directly to your ship or we can take a shuttle."

"This isn't... standard procedure but... take someone with you Di." Alex said and touched his forehead. "I don't sense any ill intent, kind of remind me of Klingons."

[Arthur Talon]

"It should be me," Arthur said quietly to her. "We were born together, we should die together. Besides sis, who better to watch your back than the one person who knows you better than anyone else?"

[Diana Talon]

"That is very true." Diana said and held his hand. "Alright... the Talon Twins ride again. What makes this adventure any different?"

[Arthur Talon]

The transporter bay one the alien ship was small and cramped like it had once been a storage closet in the past, and it was added to the ship as an afterthought.

Arthur glanced around the small room. There had been no one to greet them, and he gave his sister an uneasy look. The door latch made a heavy clunk and the massive metal door swung open, and a massive Ma'kora entered having to duck under. He held a weapon of some sort but didn't brandish it in a threatening way.

"I am Urk'ta Gromesh," he said in a deep rumble like gravel being dumped ontova new driveway. "I will escort you."
