Medic Seil asked Snowflake, "Do you need anything? A blanket, some ice chips? It's still too early for you to get water or solid food." Snowflake looked out the window at the city portion of Shalmiraine, then said, "No. In which case, I'll pass. I'm as fine as I can be. I don't hurt as much, so that's good. I REALLY miss Neblae's healing touch." Kael said softly, "She doesn't want to be one of the Four Sisters again." She turned her head to him so fast, her head spun. "What? Are you...is SHE serious?" Kael nodded. "Rose went off to speak to her. Measure got mad at her and they had words. Toxic got into it with Measure,too. It's a big FUBAR. God. I think Nebale's heart is broken due to her just having miscarried. She's in awful emotional shape, and this is a good thing to her." He shrugged sadly. "I cannot imagine the pain." Snowflake closed her eye and sighed. She said said, "At least Rose CAN, and is on it. At least I got a great view AND a private room. I just wish my new gut could handle solid food. How is Sunshine and Prince?" Kael rolled his eyes. "God! Another FUBARed subject! SUnny found out that Prince had killed of all his siblings while still a baby, before he learned to talk and Sunny flipped out and called him a murdering monster. He got broken up and ran off. Everyone in the crew that knows him is off looking for him. That brings us to your guest. It came up when motive was looked for the Madjulla's attack on Toxic." Snowflake said, "She's in fact Toxic's clone sister, they BOTH have genes from that creature Jalisco found underground on Hel, and like like Prince and his species, siblings practice fratricide? Is that it?" Kale smiled at her, "I LOVE smart women! Got it in one! ANyway--the inspector General wants to ask you some questions, if you feel up to it." Snowflake waved a hand. "Sure." She was still feeling giddy from what Kael said. She felt warm all over. Hera Kragg, Inspector General of the Judge Advocate's Office came in like a principal. Thin and pale, ready to administer punishment. She started without preamble, "What do you know of the bombing of Space-battleship One?" Neblae was with Narchi and Kael when one of the bombs were found. Kael showed me what he scanned in real time, and his hypothesis about someone adding the detonator circuit after the surveillance circuit is a sound one. We Cyclops practice producing evolutionary circuitry early on, so our doctors can support this line of thought of adding on to existing circuits." "Neblae did what she thought best by 'loaning her fluid power' to Narchi, to save him. Due to her vulnerable emotional state, things didn't go as planned. Something in the Nunera system acted on her subconscious desire to punish Narchi for the loss of her baby, caused him to be swept out of the galaxy in a partially intact state of temporal grace to where the Four Brothers were plotting to destroy humanity." "Martya went to collect him and brought him back, followed by one of the brothers, Lord Plague. He killed Martya and several others of the crew before Lime became the NEW sister of the winds and changed my aunt, Rose, into a new form. Lime, Rose and River Prince killed Lord Plague." "Lime teleported us all onto the Asuran Battle-cruiser before the demolition charges went off, and destroyed the space-battleship." Hera Kragg blinked and Kael almost shouted, "You think NEBLAE is to blame for what happened to Narchi,Kryff,Vorn and those others? My god, Snowy, you can't shoot off your mouth about stuff like this..." Hera snapped, "Be SILENT! Do NOT coach or badger a witness when she is being questioned. Do you want me to have you arrested?" Kael looked surprised. He said, "It's supposition on Neblae's motives..." Snowflake said sadly, "I was one of the Four Sisters. It's ...not speculation. Ask Measure, she would know. Neblae might not even know what she set in motion. She had nothing to do with the bombing,though." --TO BE CONTINUED!--
