The memories come with difficulty now, much happened. We made our way into the Ziggurat. Nimru begged that I stay back to observe from a distance; he said he must activate the escape vessel...more...he explained that he would be taking the seed of his tribe with him, something encased within a laboratory deep in the temple, left there by the Ancients. Nimru said I could not approach...contamination...he was successful in his departure. I was left to watch the ceiling open like a lotus, the great ship to elevate and disappear. It was a narrow escape as something, someone had followed. I hid. But it was too late...the Offworlders found me. I weep now, the memory...it was Semjaza...the name, Semjaza...and an ultimate, beyond mortal...danger... |
