Daniel swore when he looked at his watch and realized he was horribly late. "Damn it." He shut down his computer and gathered his things together. "Aiva, I have to go. Can you finish up here?"

"Of course Daniel." Kalima smiled at him. "Have a good time."

"Thanks."

Kalima watched him leave and the disabled the security camera and locked the door. A voice spoke out to her from the shadows.

"What have you found?"

Kalima looked up and saw the council member walk from the shadows. "Not much. They are reluctant to share a lot of their knowledge with me until they can be sure I am trustworthy. The parchment doesn't seem to be an issue though. They have so far been unable to translate it. The bits that Dr Jackson has managed to recognize are irrelevant to the rest of the document."

"I see. You must gain their trust Kalima. It is most important that we know how to handle this."

"Why? Why is it so important?" Kalima got up and walked over to him. "The parchment is useless in their hands even if they do managed to translate it. The one who ascended does not have his powers. They would not be able to complete the necessary tasks in order for it to work."

"Kalima. Dr Jackson was meant to remember. Not long from now, his memories will start to return. Once they do, he will be able to access his powers again. We need to know they will not abuse this."

Kalima sighed and closed her eyes. "There is one here, who mistrusts me above all the others. He will not be so easily persuaded."

"Do whatever it takes!" The council member nodded at her and disappeared.

"Whatever it takes? They're giving me free reign. They must be worried." Kalima muttered to herself for a while before reactivating the camera and timestamp and unlocking the door.

She walked out into the hall and made her way to the elevators, unaware of another figure watching her every move. It watched her get into the elevator and narrowed it's eyes as the door closed.

"Kalima. What are you doing here?"
