One on One (Eydis and Zex)
« on: May 14, 2020, 06:10:14 pm »
[Tholian Embassy]

Zex had an appointment with Eydis at the Tholian Embassy.  She arrived just a bit early in her evo suite and had been admitted by the receptionist.  Now she stood just outside of Eydis' door, waiting for it to open.

[Tholian Embassy]

Eydis would look up as zex would be allowed into the embassy main room. However she would need a environmental suit to go further into the embassy then the first meeting room. "Eydis is pleased you have arrived and apologizes for you having to don a environmental suit." One of the armed embassy tholian guards says clicking only to have it translated. The guard gestures with his free hand towards the table that had several environmental suits set out for anyone wishing to go further into the embassy. A small changing pod/room was present in the main chamber as well.

"Eydis of Tholia.  It is good to see you again" she said sincerely.  "No apology needed about the evo suit.  I'm actually looking into getting one custom made for myself.  There is a Bajoran on station who makes them.  I could give you his information at some point if you like" she offered.

"Today I am here simply to spend time with you.  I have nothing planned, so you can choose what we do and where we go.  Do you have anything in mind that you would like to do?" she asked curiously.

" I'm thankful for your time and offer it is much appreciated .  I here on some humanoid planets friends may often spar or train with each other in sports. Do you have a significantly meaningful activity from your homeworld? I would like to get to know you better and there is a saying amongst some of the federation planets. When you find yourself in conflict with another you have a greater understanding of each other. Eydis would tilt hir head a little as shi looked zex over in her evo suit.


I will never understand how you or any of your race can manage locomotion on just two legs. A tholian would be crippled with just two legs. And would have new limbs hewn from the crystal deposits in tholia. Eydis would wait for zex to finish and respond and get up heading out of the lobby area of the embassy.

Zex tilted her head.  She was all of 5' nothing and petite.  So not really built for contact sports and Deltan's were pacifists at that.

"Deltan's are not a warrior type race.  We value peace above all things.  We even developed reflexive skills to help us avoid just things" she explained.

"So I don't really have a sparing skill to offer.  But I would be interested in joining you that werewolf hologram you were playing the last time I visited.   Maybe I could use a bow and arrow or something similar that would not rely on strength" she said.

"As for the walking on 2 legs things, we typically start on all fours.  But with practice it gets easy.  See" she said.  Then she rose on her tip-toes and twirled like a ballerina.  "Yes, I took dance as a child" she added with a smile.

Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. And what is that you do zex the deltan. You are just a warrior more skilled then those of us that have to resort to violence. I may captain my ship through a hundred victories and you can achieve victory through peace through mutual understanding. Whose victory was greater ? The hundred victories I won or the one you won without bloodshedEydis was not very big herself being about 5"8 small for tholian.

Shi says all this and makes a odd sound that sounded like laughter a series of high pitches squeals and chirps. It wasn't malicious laughter but more amusement at a friends undercut their own skill. Shi then would nod hir headI would greatly enjoy it if you did join me my strange two friend zex the deltan. Beside music my taste has expanded a great deal I'm going through earth history and lore. I even found some old stories hand drawn ones. Must amusing to as the dialect and idioms of the day say geek out on. Unlike most tholians I was not given my parents memories instead I was given the knowledge of the humans of terra. From all the old and decaying transmissions to our first contact with the federation.  To be facility a understanding of the federation through the eyes of a core founding species. It has made me a bit rash at times as human like traits and qualities manifest themselves in me. One day I will add all that I have learned and seen to my people's song. And perhaps guide us to brighter future as members of the galactic community. Eydis would watch zex after laying out some more of her own history to the deltan. Trying to explain even by tholian standards shi was odd. Shi was attempt to add new material to the song and new understanding to the tholians shared collective zeitgeist

Eydis is would walk with zex to the tholians own little holodeck in the embassy. "My xo is more old fashion tholian. Entering the room she would enter in the same program as before

The Deltan considered the philosophical question for a minutes.  Eydis was right, of course.  "That is a very enlightened point of view" Zex said by way of compliment. 

She cocked her head slightly.  Some to the translation wasn't making sense.  So she probed for more information.

"Did you grow up on an Terran colony.  Away from you parents?  Is that why you did not get your parent memories?  If not, can you help me understand that piece a bit better?" she asked curious.

"I'm ready.  What weapon would you suggest for me?  A bow and arrows?  Trowing knives?" she asked as she followed Eydis into the holosuite.

"No I was born on tholia, I was given the accumulated knowledge we had gotten from planet terra/earth. This two of my parents memories with those. I suggest the bow and arrow. The program would restart and escalate. Now it was manned Roman fort in Britain and the howls filled the woods. Torch light illuminated the fort walls and the spike filled ditch ringing the walls. Eydis would be dressed in armor that fit hir, that of Roman soldier and zex would find hir own armor already on her of a Roman archer and a quiver full of arrows and bow in hir hands.

"Perhaps after the program ends you can tell me more about yourself my host's past

"Aw" Zex replied.  But the response only created more questions in her.  "Were you at a young age pre-designated to be in your form of the ambassador corps?  Is that why you received the knowledge from Earth?" she asked curiously.

She accepted to the bow and quiver full of arrows as her weapon.  She tested the strength of the bow after strapping the quiver to her back.  It would do nicely.

She pre-notched an arrow before they entered.  She doubted that werewolves would play fairly.  So she wanted to be prepared for the fight as soon as she entered the room.

"I would be agreeable to that.  The more we learn about each other will only strengthen our relationship.  And thus the bond between the federation and Tholia" she said.

It was deemed by the council that a new mindset not a normal tholian mindset might be advantageous. And help foster better understanding . It is rather complex to explain but each tholians role is predetermined beforehand as to best suit the assembly's need

Eydis would nod to zex and head towards the ramp that lead up to the Forts walls. " I'm rather thankful I can not smell however as I have heard wet dog smell is not to pleasant." Shi makes a little joking noting the werewolf's were likely wet from the rain. The howling would begin to close in as commands were shouted by the centurion.

"That is a practical approach to filling the expected workforce.  It was even practiced on early Earth as you might know.  Kings and peasants determined at birth" Zex said.

She follow Eydis into the hologram.  The smell of wet dog was prominent.  "It reminds me of the taste of stale bread.  Something that we are taught not to eat due to the mold that is preparing to grow on it" she said.

The first werewolf raised it's head in the distance.  "I got that one" she said.  She pulled back the string on her bow and prayed for a true aim.  Then she let the arrow fly.

The mist would peel back some from the woods as the arrow zex had sent whistle through the nights sky. With a full thunk impacting its target with precision of a mythical elf. The werewolf fell in a heap as more of its horde of a pack began to emerge from the woods. Dozens at first then hundreds. Howls echoing throughout the English forest. The vicious snarling mass of horrible predatory eyes and gleaming teeth and hulking shadows would rush towards the forts walls. Suddenly the Roman legionaries would issue a command and arches would send a few flaming arrows hurtling into the mass more to see the approaching onslaught then then fell any of the numbers.


As the flaming arrows arched through the air and hit the ground and sometimes a werewolf. A Roman arch on each corner would aim down into the trench and fire a arrow into the oil and kindling in it. Flames would begin to spread and fill the trench as the horde reaches it.

[Holodeck]

Howls turned to moans in the injured.  Morns turned to resolve in the living.  The howls increased in intensity and duration.

Without the assistance of the roman archers, they would soon be overrun.  That brought the Deltan a slight big of comfort.  But still she regretted her choice of weapon. 

Perhaps she should have chosen a gun.  A machine gun, would have been better.  But it was to late to change now.

So she found her next, nearest, target and let an arrow fly.  Then in her periphery she saw movement.   "On your right" she warned Eydis.

And so the battle had begun as the dark shapes of the howling and snarling masses of fur and teeth descended on the Roman fort. Arrows would slice through the cold air, most missing the intended target but some did find their targets like those from zex. Her skill being evident, yet the arrows did little to slow the werewolves down.

Wishing in the span of several short breathes the beasts would be on the walls themselves. Clawing and swiping at the wooden logs and trying to climb up them. Eydis would pick up a Pilum and throw it down the fuller of one of those horrible mouths at the wall. Several of the attacking horde had fallen into the spiked filled trenches, tar and oil spread around the spiked filled trenches that encircled the Roman fort. Eydis would look to zex” we need to light the trenches at several places now. Can you make the shot “ .

A large mass was slowly drawing alongside the besieged Roman fort in the icy cold Atlantic Ocean. Fog concealed the monstrously sized shape for now. But it would likely go unnoticed as the battle raged .

[Holodeck]

The werewolves came in droves.  They were coming closer and closer.  Now they were on the wall.

Zex had felt calm when the wolves were just small targets in the distance.  But now they were large and almost upon them.  She could not help but become more afraid as they did.

"I think I can" she said.  She took an arrow prepared to carry fire and lit it on the torch nearby.  Then she loaded it into her bow and fired.
