WarAdmiral: Star Trek!?!?!? BLEK ICK YUCK!! BLECK ICK YUCK! BLAGH! I case u couldn't tell, I don't like Star Trek all that much. :P o, its his pride? Ok, I can work w/ that. I saw a dissonant interval but forgot to tape it, so I couldn't remember the majoram part. I DO remember rhade because I just remember thinking: his dad's first name is the same as his last? That would b like calling me Jordan Jordan, which would suck. Ok, review Omega Blue!

Chapter 15
"Can we trust it?" Harper asked in a low tone to Dylan. Terla was in her form as Liara and was busily engraving strange runes on the nearby bulkhead.
"Of course not," Dylan replied. "But we have to take her on faith."
"Now you sound like Dylan from our first year," Harper said, smiling.
Beka walked over to Terla. "You do your thing," she told the doppelganger. "But if you harm on hair on Rhade's head, I swear on the Maru I'll kill you myself."
Terla didn't look up from the rune she was carving. "Don't worry," she said absently. "I won't hurt your lover."
"He's not- ugh, never mind." Beka stalked over to where the others were standing.
"Are you done with whatever you're doing yet?" Harper demanded.
Terla looked at Harper angrily. "If I don't get this exactly right, the entire ship could be ripped to shreds."
"Oh, take your time, take your time," Harper added quickly.
Five minutes went by before Harper started fidgeting again. "Done yet?"
Terla didn't bother to respond.
Two more minutes. "Done yet?"
No reply.
Five minutes later. "Done yet?"
"No, Harper!" Terla carved a wide circle. "Some portals can take days!"
"We don't have days," Dylan said. "How much longer?"
Terla sighed. "Five minutes."
"That's more like it," Dylan responded. "So... what are you doing?"
"Teleportation portal," Terla explained. "You carve the correct runes and cast the correct spell. Then, baring anything unforeseen, I should be taken directly to the Slipstream core. Since this is a variation of the normal spell, I need to get this right."
"What's a normal spell?" Harper asked, more for converstation than actual want to know.
"Usually one carves on the floor," Terla explained. "But since your floors are metal grating, I had to use a more unconventional spell on the wall. It will take me within five feet of Rhade."
"UH, wont he see you?" Harper asked.
Terla smiled as she carved a final rune. "I'll cast Invisibility on myself," she said, stepping back to examine her work. "With your permission, Cap'n, I'll begin casting."
Dylan nodded. Terla began swaying back and forthm closing her eyes and making complex guestures with her hands.
