"You murders!!!" The hysterical woman screamed at Tuvok from behind the forcefield in the brig. "Calm yourself-" "calm myself!! Your trying to destroy my poeple, my world and you want me to calm down?!" "You will calm yourself or a seditive will be used to do it for you." Tuvok said calmly.
The woman made a visible attempt to calm down, all the while staring blue murder into Tuvoks eyes. "Now that you are calm, please explain why you attacked us." "As if you didn't know-" the woman gasped and took as steep back as Tuvok advanced on her with the hyposray "Humor me" he said, the three others in the room snickered. "I know your helping them." "helping them?" "Helping them make a purebreed!!" "I assure you we are helping noone creat a 'purebreed'." "Do you really ecpect me to beleave that?!" "Madam, I really don't care what you beleave. However if you wish to get out of this cell, then I would suggest you explain your actions. You have endangered the lives-" "and you haven't?!" Tuvok continued on as if she had no spoken "Now why did you attack us? And why do you accuse us of trying to create a 'purebreed'?" "Why do you keep pretending you don't know?" the woman looked around the room at the faces of the other officers in the brig "You really have no idea, what there doing do you?" her voice was a mix of suprise,shock,disbalief, and the look you'd give a moron."You have to stop them!" "stop who?" "who do you think! The Rakounms! the aliens on board!You have to detain them!" "They have done nothing to warrent detention-" "not yet!Has anyone on this ship taken ill? With a strange desease that makes the hair on thier head grow long? Makes them sensative to touch and smell, makes thier eyes glow and thier blood change color?...I can see from your crew mens expression that I'm right.Those...doctord," she nearly spat out the word "are changing your crew mates into a lost breed! Thier altering them into...I don't know the translation,but animals in human bodies almost. You do have them sealed in vaults don't you?" "I told you they have done nothing to warrent detention-" "Not them! They should be thrown out your nearest air lock! I meant your infected crew members!" "Captain Janeway and Commander Chakotay are secure-" "captain?! commander?! They've infected the highest ranking members of your crew?! Listen you have to secure them now!In a vault as far away from each other as possible!" "why?" "Because thier brains are instint driven now. They'll try to go down to that planet and..." "and what?" "and mate." Tuvok poened his mouth to replie when his comm badge beeped "Neilson to Tuvok" "Tuvok here ,go ahead." "Sir, Commander Chakotay , has gotten loes from his restraints." "Were is he?" "We can't get a track on him." "I'm on my way." Tuvok turned to leave "wait!" the women screamed, "I can help you!" Tuvok raised an eyebrow "Listen, my name is Alenstra, I'm a keeper of the years-a historian! I know about the creatures your crew mates are tuening into, let me help" "Drop the shield" Tuvok ordered. The shield vanished and the woman stepped out. "Thanks-hey!!" she screamed when a black band was locked around her wrist,"what are-" "this is so I know were you are at all times." Tuvok said then started for the door clearing intending for her to fallow.
"What happened?" "One minute he was here, then I turned to look at the data charts then turned when i heard what sounded like twisting metal, when i went into his cell unit he was gone and that whole was in the wall." Alenstra slowly walked twords the other cell unit and looked threw the clear panneling to at Janeway. "Virda" she whispered to herself "I beg your pardon" Tuvok said behind her startling her "you suprised me, and i said Verda, it's one of the clans of Ravenua-the purebreeds, according to all our knowlage they were like amphibious birds, one of the strongest clans. "Birds?" the doctor asked. "huummm...tell me, have there been any abnormal bone growth around the shoulder blades?" "why yes there has" the doctor said clearly shocked "Then she'll cacoon herself very soon" "cacoon?" "yes, like a...whats the word? Caterpiller. Then your commander will return, wait has he had the same abnormal growth?!" "yes,and no. There has been abnormal growth, but aroung hi coccli-tail bone." "oh hell!" "I take it that is not good?" "no it's not. I t means hes turning into Cocrona." "Cacrona?" "another clan, they were...wolf like, and very deadly.They took one mate and death was better to anyone who messed with thier mate. He'll be back, when the female-your captain cacoons." "But there of diffrent clans-" "It won't matter once shes inside that cacoon you won't be able to get her out till shes done hibernating" "Well then he can't get to her-" "wrong. Cocrona jave the ability to enter the cacoon with a Virda, and hibernate with them. They 'dopped' the Virda with there sent. After they emerge the Virda will only mate with that Cocrona. Thats the only time anyone can get near a Virda-when they cacoon themselves, normally there very aggressive.And don't bother to try and find him, you won't.When she cacoons herself he'll be back, it's the only time he'd bealde to 'convince' her to mate with him. But he'll kill anyone who gets in his way.Don't dought that ever, even if it were his own mother.
