"What the hell was that?" asked Picard.

"looked like a ship. Who else would be out here? And worse...there appears to be some sort of disrupter field in the area. Trapping everyone in the vicinity." Yojimbo replied.

*They stared at the crash. The dust disturbed the entire block. Like a bomb that went off. Going through the buildings.*

"I think that we should check it out." said Yojimbo.

"Agreed. I don't care what is on this planet...I'm setting my phaser to kill." Picard was the first to grab the rope he brought and slung it over the side of the enterprise. He climbed down Military style. Yojimbo just stood for a while and just jumped down. All that was heard was a small brisk of air. When he landed he didn't make a sound, and posed for awhile.

As he was looking foward, there was a small critter that scurried across from one car to another.

Picard finally reached the ground. uncoupling the rope, he stared at Yojimbo. His eyes were fixed on something, though he could not tell what was happening. He never saw the ninja this alert.

Yojimbo then spoke up "There is something here...prepare yourself."

Greed is bad, but we can't pin most of the problems on a single deformaty.

His body ached. More so than ever before. He was still on the bridge as far as he could tell. The crew was scattered all around him. No entry wounds or blood on any of them. He slowly got up. Picard was by his chair, and Yojimbo tryed to wake him. Picard opened his eyes, then closed them again.

"Picard, WAKE up!" and with that, he finally sat up and looked around. "Relax Picard, we are alive. But everyone else is not."

"and all of the people in the saucer area?" Picard questioned.

Yojimbo just shook his head. A no. Something he really didn't want to here.

"How did we survive, and the crew didn't?" ASked Yojimbo to himself.

"Because we were meant to live..there is...no other explination." Picard stood up and looked around. He went up to the control panel and pushed the dead officer's corpse from the control panel. "We are not on any known planet in the star charts."

"What would you expect?" replied Yojimbo with smirk. He went to the panel next to Picard. He started to press buttons and his eyes flashed around like reading a critical part in a story. "There is oxygen, nitrogen, traces of carbon, lithium....it's just plain air."

"Open the visual." said Picard.

Yojimbo briskly hit several buttons and turned around to see what was outside the ship. The planet was decimated. Buildings were toppled over and crushed. The streets were made of bricks and ancient traveling vehicles...cars, were scattered all over the place and several were on fire. The sky was dark and ominous. The clouds moved so rapidly, it seemed like they were moving through time.

"I need to get out there." said Yojimbo.

"Why?" but before he could get an answer, Yojimbo jumped up and grabed the ebb of the ventilation shaft. Got one of his shuriken from the gee and started to undo the screws.

"As captain of this ship, I must lead the away team...I'm coming with you." Said Picard with strong resolve.

"I wouldn't expect anything less." Replied Yojimbo.

He dropped the cover on the floor and crawled in. lowered his hand and Picard jumped up and grabbed it. Yojimbo pulled him up but slowly.

"You need to loose some weight Picard." smirked Yojimbo

"Why do you say that?" asked Picard.

"That pull up, actually hurt me."

"Perhaps you should work out some more then."

"right." Yojimbo crawled through the various passages and tunnels that made up the Enterprise's ventilation system.

"There!" yelled Picard. "That hatch should lead out of the hull."

Picard climbed up the ladder and met the hatch. He tryed to simply open it but was forced to start ramming the door. It finally nudged open and Picard wen through, Yojimbo closely behind.

"My god."

Yojimbo saw what he was talking about. No signs of war...or craters.

"Whatever happened here...was a long time ago..." the expanse was in all directions.

The desert was filled with death....nothing lived here.

The cave was dark. Like the gaps between the stars in space. It got darker. what could be called a figure crept up from the inner reaches of the cave. it sat there unabiding. Staring over the landscape.

"Semper arratus defacturoom." said the figure from behind.

The figure turned to other slowly

"Dos numiny patches opur jedi?" it replied.

"kasum....Malachor fryutora. Chiste gano wezarus."

The first figure shook it's head up and down.

"All of them....they must be awoken and unleased."

"Kwareq Jedi yutreopum?" asked the second figure.

"Because I was one...many eons ago...we all were.

There was a long silence.

"Tre varus, war is upon us..."

Malak is a good case of this. Exar Kun was a good example of this....Vader and Sidious were examples of this. In a time, the power grows exponentially and the knowledge becomes stagnant once total control is achieved and inner powers bring everthing crashing down. The only logical solution is being content with what you achive.

The dark and light side are not complicated....they are both topographies of ignorance. The Gray are the same. How many times has the number 3 come up in fairy tales and stories through mythology. Gray, the God of the scale, the equal balance, symbolized by the red moon. Light, the god of procreation and judgement, symbolized by the white candle. Dark, the god of Destruction and lust, symbolized by the moon that noone can see. And the people, symbolized by the large pale moon above. These are babalonian referances. They seem to have gotten it right the first time and very well might I add. All hold there catches of knowledge. It is merely a matter of choice...

heheh...nice.

Or apart from the way people think. Dotouquville once implied that the one being in existance...."The Mind of God" as he perceived it, would be the only being to get passed generalites, Lack of informity, arcane procedures...

*She woke up and saw everyone dead. Yojimbo was piked against the wall and Picard was splattered all over the walls.*

She woke up on her own ship.

"Computer....why am I on my ship?" she asked.

"You never left Aliana." repiled the computer.

"search for traces of the Enterprise!"

"searching...."

The computer had numbers flying across the screen and stopped.

"The Enterprise is not her at this present location and it is not in any systems 40 lightyears from here."

She sank back into her chair. How could this be? She had to call the others. She had a force vision...

I wouldn't want to live ina a world without worries. Without the bitter baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.
