"I wanna go!" Laura chimed. "She looks so pretty!"

Guinan looked thoughtful. "It's possible that either Mike hasfirst aid or that Laura has the... well, I have no idea how it works, but when Lily and I had a pokemon battle, Laura handed me a crystal that revived and healed my pokemon. I have no idea if that would heal whatever burn you have."

Guinan looked at Mike and Laura, sincerely hoping that their proposed spacewalk with the sea serpent would not lead to any more strange injuries.

"No, the burns are from long ago. They just get irritated easily." Aelkai explained somewhat reassuringly. "When I was on Deep Space Nine, Dr. Bashir sort of helped me get better."

The stranger tilted their head at Aelkai, a rather large hat nearly slipping off their head.

"Ya want some Neosporin or somethin', bud?" they offered. They pointed behind them with their thumbs. "I can go get some if ya'd like."

"No thank you." Aelkai answered politely. Then she said bluntly, "You are weird."

"Just who are you?" Laura said, looking at the stranger suspiciously.

"Nyahaha!" the stranger laughed."What am I?"
Their voice sounded strangely similar to Lilli, though slightly gruffer and deeper.

They wiped a tear from their eye.
"Well.
.....You could call me an angel, but that'd be kind of a stretch of the word." they said with a grin.

Cocking an eyebrow, they looked at Laura.
"You really wanna know?"

Laura slowly nodded her head. "Yes... If I diddn't want to know, would I have asked you?" She looked around the ship. "And exactly how did you get in here?" She wouldn't normally be this suspicious of anybody and everybody, but anybody and everybody seemed a lot scarier to her, ever since the things the thought was impossible had just literally just happened with her watching over the past few days.

Mile was working on swapping out the toolset on his robotic arm in preparation for replacing that peripheral circuit, when he finishes he folds out a few of the tools that he will need to sort of test everything out. When he notices another person in the ship he gets startled and he points at them with his left hand which currently has a socket wrench attatchment deployed in place of a hand. He is about to ask who they are but Laura beats him to it.

The recon officer in the USS Hercules says "Captain, you are going to want to see this". The big screen in front of the room starts displaying the zoomed in view of a camera on the carrier and it shows Mason standing on a catwalk outside of Nexus station banging on the airlock door and then pacing back and fourth desperately trying to figure out what to do. The recon officer says "According to the ship's AI the Heiwa Federation currently has full control of the airlock overrides on Nexus Station, so why would they lock someone out like that unless it's someone they want to get rid of like Mason Williams?" Captain plank replies "Good observation. Focus all hacking efforts on getting that door open!" Someone objects, "But that would mean likely loosing control of a few things, are you sure you want to do this?" After a moment of thinking the Captain replies "Yes".

Mason sees his oxygen meter go to zero and the valve between the helmet and the tank is closed off. All he has left is the oxygen still in his helmet but that won't last long. He tries to breathe slowly and not use much energy to make is last.

A loud tapping sound makes everyone jump, as if someone was wacking the side of the ship with a sledgehammer. Aelkai rushed to the window and tapped at the glass happily, nearly [literally] eye to eye with the gigantic sea serpent. "She wants to know if we need her for anything. She wants to go back to her hatchlings soon." Jian explained, though looking as if it was quite difficult to share telepathy with a sea serpent. "Why did you summon her, again?" She asked Star-Enye, who pulsed brightly.
Mike wanted help to create a distraction of some kind.
"Wouldn't the...um...tribe be a little better at distraction? I mean, how big a distraction are we talking about, here?" Jian asked hesitantly.

"Aww, she's so pretty!" Laura gushed, looking out the window and waving at her.

When the sea serpent bumps the ship it causes it to start rotating slightly. Mike rushes to the front of the ship and reaches for the kill rotation button with his left hand, but upon realizing that his hand is still replaced with an adjustable socket wrench he uses his right hand instead. When he presses the button the reaction control thrusters let out a small burst which causes the ship's rotation to stop.

"As I was saying," Jian continued, turning to Mike. " How big a distraction do you need? For all we know, we could need more than a sea serpent, or less. Who knows?"

Mike thinks for a moment. "A bigger distraction should be better as far as I know, and a sea serpent should definitely be distracting enough to let us secretly do some stuff in the station. Perhaps we could activate the station's AI again or something, to be honest I still don't have much of a plan."

The ship passes into the night side of the planet. The Sun sets over the horizon of Earth and it gets very dark outside, on Earth night lights can be seen around cities.

Guinan had been quietly watching the exchange with the stranger and then gazing out the window at the sea serpent outside the ship and the setting sun. "What would the station have us do? Or are they not saying anything?" Guinan asked Mike.

Mike says "The station is transmitting signals but they are encrypted so I have no idea what information they contain. I am still in contact with Mason though and last I checked he had escaped from some guards and was heading to the portal chamber.". He stows the socket wrench attatchment and his robotic hand folds back into it's normal position.

He suddenly snaps his fingers as he remembers something important. "And I almost forgot, I should point out that anyone who doesn't want to sneak through a station full of people with guns for the sake of some weird guy you met 2 days ago or less then by all means speak up and don't come."
