<<Imagine what we could learn if we tapped into the memories of the universe.>>
- Liana, Head Researcher on the Asari Genetic Memory Transfer project

Setting: USS ANUBIS, Observation Lounge

With the crew promotions and shifts announced and made official, the Native American had been able to proceed with the main reason for this briefing.  As he sat into the chair at the end of the elongated table,...

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (No, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Erik let out a deep breath as he scanned his surrounding.  As nice as the HATHOR was, the ANUBIS was a ship in an entirely different class; a ship he found himself more than happy to be in charge of even though it had not been *his* by definition.  Accordi...

Aki had rushed to Stellar Cartography the moment she and the rest of the ANUBIS' Senior Officer had transferred onboard from the HATHOR. The aCSciO knew that time had been of the utmost importance and Captain Morningstar had made it perfectly clear that every department would be called upon to offer their input on how to complet...

Walking through the corridors of the USS ANUBIS, the Shillian felt as if she had finally come home.  While back on NEW ALEXANDRIA, the Chief Science Officer had done everything in her power to avoid being onboard the SCARAB-Class Cruiser, along with having stayed out of immediate sight of the rest of the Senior Officers.  Maya had needed time to figure things out, to r...

The young woman sat on the biobed, her back prompted against the single pillow upon which her head had been resting on while the redhead slept.  Rest had been something that Rikar had greatly needed, but something in the back of her mind had drawn her back into the realm of reality… and she quickly discovered why.

The PADD that had been thrown against the far wall still...

The Native American's eyes studied with disbelief the information on the PADD that had been in his hands for several minutes now, as if he expected the report to change at any moment.  The...

(Previous Post: "Perceptions of Innocence or Insights of Madness")

Living by day, dying at night
Living alone, living a lie
Living apart, playing by heart
All the time

Waiting for words, hoping for dreams
Waiting too long, or so it seems
Waiting apart, wish life would start
Here tonight
Your love's an uphill battle
I see the summit; I can't stop climbing
Can't fight the urge to look back
All I see is the tide is rising

Can't guarantee a happy ending
All I know is it's been real fun...

Aki had wasted no time to pull all of the available information on RAADEJ III.  That the planet was in the RIN-AJAD CLUSTER on the other side of Romulan space had been bad enough, but to discover that the world had been a frozen wasteland had just stolen the show.

"So we're going to be traveling *through* Romulan space to arrive at a ball of ice?" ET huffed after having been told abo...

The young woman's chest rose and dropped in accordance to her slow, deep breathing as she laid on the biobed.  The sounds of medical readouts, likely her own, had been oddly soothing leaving the redhead to accept her current position without any questions.  At the very least the feel of the bed against her back and the rhythmic audio signals that hung in the air had be...

Aki watched, blade in hand, as the rage in Ensign Dalziel slowly, very slowly drained from her to be replaced by concern for the ANUBIS' unconscious CO.  The woman had been beaten, the reason for this had yet to be determined, but one thing had been clear; they had arrived just in time.

The young woman slowly opened her eyes, the grogginess of her thoughts having finally dissipated enough for her to regain some level of control and awareness of her surroundings.  A cold chill swept across her skin to make her realize that she had been completely naked… and her inability to immediately cover herself in any way had been the o...

Once the shape-shifted Shillian had managed to find a quiet spot to oversee the action in the Casino without either being discovered or trampled, the small primate had been able to locate several members of the crew of the ANUBIS.  Most notably had been the crimson-haired Captain herself, a woman who had vanished from NEW ALEXANDRIA to search for somethin...

The young woman lay on the bed wide awake… her gaze locked on the PYTHRON decoration that hung overhead… the light from the distant stars that had managed to find its way into these quarters had almost made the sculpture seem alive.  The redhead slowly turned her head to see the Pythron youth asleep by her side, apparently exhausted from the events of the...

The young woman took in a long, deep breath as she straightened out her dress.  Some activities lent themselves with greater ease to a Dabo girl, but this latest one had proven to far more demanding and had required a great deal of strength and skill… at least when compared to what the redhead had been accustomed to doing at the casino.

To say that the VALLA ROYAL was huge would have been an understatement.  The information that the undercover team had been given had not given the credit this space station had deserved.  This place was a huge city with a maze of streets and alleyways that would have scared most.  Added to this the searching for a single person, one who likely did not want to be...
