Cold, hard steel enclosed the chamber from the rest of the massive ship. It was a nail in the coffin, seeing the massive battalions of Knn soldiers marching about, the near invincible warfleet outside.
"How long have we been in here?" Ducky asked, despratley, laying on the steel floor. Tyio counted a certain set of notches he made in the steel with an iron filing.
"Eleven. Seraph, Juiso and Tymen are on the next planet by now, have been for there a day." Tyio swiveled around to face Black and Ducky, both wearing depressing Knn prisoner garb, bodies in bandages from what Asari had wrought, and a little thin due to the Knn's poor estimates of they're nutritonal needs. Being a Demon, Tyio fared a little better, but not much,
"They've already found the shard probably, and secured a grand warship, and any minute now they'll fly in, blasters blazing, and rescue us." Tyio attempted to show an optimistic side. A short while after that, the door to they're cell creaked open, revealing two large Knn soldiers. Now would have been the ideal time to escape, but Ducky and Black were in no health to mount one.
"The Demon wishes to see you all. You will follow us."

Tymen, Juiso, and Seraph were surprised to find the Y shaped vessel, with the name 'Ayleckek', no doubt some alien word, so readily available. Dispite erosion by the elements on the planet, it was in working order, and once the trio reconnected a plasma pipe which had been burned through by a small colony of acidic creatures, the ship, which, dispite it's alien shape, had a familiar, indeed, Carrotian interior. All this served to perplex our heros further, the cryptic message left by the dying creature in the hologram haunting them. But...there was a problem. The ship was in complete working order, besides a minor plasma leak.
Why would Seraph, in the future, lead the people of this world to believe her ship was disabled. The more pieces of the puzzle appeared, the dimmer the overall image became. The three of them took three seats in what seemed to be the control center. Dusting off some control pads, Seraph, who sat at the center seat, pushed a few buttons. An anxiety filled moment passed, waitng for the ship to respond. Then, with a vibrant humm, the lights flickered on and the engine could be heard preparing for it's use.
"Seraph, were will we go?' Tymen asked, sitting in the seat to Seraph's right. Her brow furrowed, her expression becoming puzzical. Then,
"We'll find Asari. She's been at every planet we've been to. She's either been following us, or she knows something we need to know." Juiso nodded,
"We can assume she's still in the local system, since she bombed us yesterday."
"Right,"Seraph returned,"let's go!"
